Samsara

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Samsara (2023)


In the jungles of Laos, an elderly woman named Mon prepares for the end of her years by listening to a Buddhist monk read The Tibetan Book Of The Dead. What follows is a symphonic and cinematic voyage to the Bardo, the transitional realm between life and death. Director Lois Patino utilizes extraordinary, shapeshifting and chimeric visions of the lushness of nature and immersive soundscapes to create a fully captivating and visionary journey to the next life. 

Featuring a 15 minute sequence where the audience is required to close their eyes to “experience” pulsing colours and sounds from the screen.  A sequence where what you see through your eyelids may be as stirring as any image in any film. Samsara was recently featured at the Berlin Film Festival and the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. Calgary Cinematheque is proud to present this radical and deeply moving film on the big screen. 

Genre: Drama

Director: Lois Patino

The Crazies

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Crazies (1973)

After reinventing the zombie film with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, George Romero made his first color horror film THE CRAZIES, another social commentary cloaked in exploitation trappings about a small Pennsylvania town decimated by the accidental release of a dangerous biochemical weapon in the water supply (thanks to a crashed truck.)

Though not an official part of Romero's ongoing DEAD series, THE CRAZIES still fits in just fine thanks to its depictions of normalcy shedding apart from the inside and a ruthless but incompetent military ultimately driven by self-interest -- themes which would reach their most crystallized version in DAY OF THE DEAD

Genre: Action, Horror

Director: George A. Romero
Stars: Lane Carroll, Will MacMillan, Harold Wayne Jones            
Running time: 1 hr 43 min

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Triplets of Belleville (2003)

Evidence points to him being kidnapped. 

Indeed, he and two of his competitors were kidnapped, the kidnappers who want to use the threesome's unique skills for nefarious purposes. With Champion's overweight and faithful pet dog Bruno at her side, Madame Souza goes looking for Champion. 

Their trek takes them overseas to the town of Belleville.
