Saint-Omer court of law. Young novelist Rama attends the trial of Laurence Coly, a young woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter by abandoning her to the rising tide on a beach in northern France.

"Godland tells a story of natural wonder, elemental beauty and human folly." - Los Angeles Times
"This transfixing drama is certainly austere. But there’s also a marvelously odd vein of sneaky humor running through it, along with an unpredictability that keeps you glued." - Hollywood Reporter

ROSIE * CANADA * 2022 * Dir: Gail Maurice * 90 Mins * Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93%
Rosie (Keris Hope Hill) is a visibly Indigenous, English-speaking, sweet, and headstrong little girl and her mother has just died. A children’s services agent brings her to her only living relative, her Francophone aunt Frédèrique (Mélanie Bray). “Fred” doesn’t have a solid foundation on which to raise a child. She is unprepared — she’s working at an adult entertainment shop and threatened with eviction — and is at first unwilling to take on caring for her adopted sister’s young daughter.

Midnight Mayhem returns for its 5th screening with the classic cult film (and love story for the ages) BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR
Directed by Brian Yuzna (SOCIETY, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3), BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR proves there’s a good deal more “life” left in the story of Dr. Herbert West and his ghoulish exploits. Its been eight years since the Miskatonic massacre. Unperturbed by the disastrous outcome of his previous meddling with the dead, Dr. West (Jeffrey Combs) continues his research into the phenomenon of re-animation; only this time, he plans to create life -- starting with the heart of his young protégé’s dearly deceased. With SFX masters John Carl Buechler and Screaming Mad George on hand to contribute a host of characteristically weird and wonderful creations (including zombified bats and a one-eyed finger spider), BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR is a more-than-worthy successor to Stuart Gordon’s original cult classic.

TETSUO: THE IRON MAN * JAPAN * 1989 * Dir: Shinya Tsukamoto *
Virtually absent from theater screens since the 1990s, this underground classic from Japan is now available in a brand new restoration! TETSUO: THE IRON MAN is filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto’s unhinged hot take on humankind’s ongoing battle with technology; literally, as a man mutates into a walking, clanking man-machine that terrorizes himself and everyone around him. Warping elements of early Cronenberg, Lynch, and Raimi into a deliriously-paced cyberpunk cocktail, TETSUO is a body horror manifesto that’s fueled by techno-erotic adrenaline and wrought iron perversion. Unmissable.
“A cyberpunk ERASERHEAD.” -- Michael Weldon, THE PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO GUIDE
"A hysterical, histrionic ode to cyber-punk fetishism, Tetsuo owes as much to William Gibson as it does the body horror cinema of David Cronenberg & the stop-motion theatrics of Jan vankmajer. " - Screen Slate

On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official De Roller (Benoît Magimel) is a calculating man with flawless manners. His somewhat broad perception of his role brings him to navigate the high end ’establishment’ as well as shady venues where he mingles with the locals. Especially since a persistent rumor has been going around: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing.
"Set to its own tidal rhythm, it is one of the most beautiful and rigorously introspective movies of this or any year." - Indiewire
