Considered the first feature ever made by a sub-Saharan African director, Ousmane Sembène's BLACK GIRL is as sharp and devastating today as it was in 1966. A young Senegalese woman follows her employers to the French Riviera, only to find herself trapped between two worlds and welcome in neither. A landmark of world cinema. 🎞️

GOHAN 🐶 Fair warning: this one will wreck you. A white stray with a pink nose drifts through a decade of temporary homes — and somehow ends up saying more about loneliness, migration and what "home" means than most dramas manage with people.

Maryam Touzani's new film comes into town! And if The Blue Caftan (2022) broke your heart, this one might just finish the job.

CALLE MÁLAGA follows a Moroccan woman who travels to Spain to find her estranged son, only to discover a life she was never part of. It's a film about distance: emotional, geographical, generational — and Touzani shoots it with the same quiet precision that made her one of the most important voices in contemporary Arab cinema.

From the director who turned a single long take into a fever dream comes something even more unhinged. Bi Gan's RESURRECTION shape-shifts across a century of cinema. Silent film, noir, melodrama; each segment a different sense, a different era, a different hallucination. It won the Special Award at and left audiences speechless. Come find see why!

Cannes jury president Juliette Binoche called it an "unidentified flying object." We just call it unmissable. Bi Gan's RESURRECTION moves through silent film, noir, and myth across 100 years, six dreams, one dying monster, and a woman using the lost techniques of cinema to keep dreaming alive. You've never seen anything like it.
