SUMMARY:Penticton Art Gallery Film Series

In partnership with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Landmark Cinemas\, we are thrilled to present four specially curated selections from TIFF’s touring program for exclusive screenings in Penticton over the next four months. \nEach film will have two screenings at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM at Landmark Cinemas.\nSpring 2025 Film Schedule: \nWednesday\, February 19 – Small Things Like These | 2024 | Drama | 1h 38m \nOscar-winner Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as a devoted father in this adaptation of Claire Keegan’s best-selling novel. While working as a coal merchant to support his family\, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent—uncovering painful truths of his own. Set in a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church\, the story is drawn from real-life Magdalene Laundries\, where unmarried pregnant women were separated from their children\, a practice that continued until 1996.\nWednesday\, March 19 – All We Imagine as Light \nFrance\, India\, Netherlands\, Luxembourg | 2024 | 118m | Malayalam\, Hindi \nMoving from the urban bustle of Mumbai to a serene coastal retreat\, this exquisitely beautiful and heartfelt debut fiction feature by Payal Kapadia (A Night of Knowing Nothing) follows two nurses navigating personal turning points and the quiet possibilities of romance.\nWednesday\, April 23 – The Monk and the Gun \nBhutan\, France\, USA\, Taiwan | 2023 | 107 min | Dzongkha\, English \nSet in 2006\, as Bhutan transitions to democracy\, this playful ensemble drama from writer-director Pawo Choyning Dorji (Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom) is a poignant and humorous parable about embracing modernity while reckoning with the past.\nWednesday\, May 21 – Sweetland \nCanada | 2023 | 105 min | English \nThe government is set to resettle the remote fishing community of Sweetland\, Newfoundland\, offering a generous payout—but only if every resident agrees to leave. Retired fisherman Moses (Mark Lewis Jones) is one of the last holdouts\, unwilling to leave behind a lifetime of memories and ghosts. Reminiscent of Gordon Pinsent’s classic John and the Missus\, this adaptation of Michael Crummey’s novel is distinguished by breathtaking cinematography and a powerhouse performance from Mark Lewis Jones. Directed by Christian Sparkes (Cast No Shadow\, The King Tide)\, one of Canada’s emerging filmmaking talents. \nTicket Information: \nFilm Series Pass: $55 (Members) / $65 (Non-Members)\nSingle Ticket: $18\n(Prices include tax) \nNote: This film series is curated with adult patrons in mind.
