Closing out the festival is a fantastic film by Michel Groom, Between the Lights!!

About: When skeptical scientist Alice falls for reluctant medium Jay, she's taken on an odyssey of love, loss and discovery that will turn her world upside down. Between the Lights is a romantic drama with a liberal dose of the supernatural, in which we visit our characters over three consecutive Christmases.

The Best Man's Speech Directed by Jennifer Weller-
About: When his best friend gets engaged, Paul tries to worm out of giving a best man's speech rather than deal with his crushing fear of public speaking. "The Best Man's Speech" is a breezy, heartfelt comedy.

Triage Directed by David Rendall
About: A simple car ride to the vet escalates into a full-blown crisis, exposing hard truths beneath the surface of their relationship. Set in the early days of the pandemic, TRIAGE is a claustrophobic pressure cooker and exploration of who we truly love when our worlds fall apart.

Feeling the Apocalypse Directed by Chen Sing Yap
About: A psychotherapist struggling with climate anxiety explores what it means to live in a dying world.

The Space Left Behind Directed by Jennifer Weller--
About: When Helen's husband Jack dies, she struggles to live on her own and keep their hardware store going. She finds herself having to cope with Tom, an annoyingly persistent customer. But thanks to Jack, second chances can come in unexpected packages.

Mr Noah & the Second flood Directed by Dianne Brothers & Kelly Saxberg -
About: Mr. Noah, the great-great-many-times-great-grandson of the original Noah, living far removed from the modern world, realises that there is going to be another flood. He sends his three sons to invite the animals aboard the new ark but the situation is even worse than expected. Mr. Noah must face some hard truths and is ultimately forced to make a devastating decision.

Today screening starts at 5:30pm!

Special event Session sponsored by the Northwestern Ontario Society of Architects (NWOSA)!

In-Tents: Directed by Stephanie Nakasjima & Scott Morris - Having experienced homelessness herself, Marcie recounts her time in tents and provides an understanding of the humanity that lies within the homeless population of Hamilton, Ontario. “In-Tents” breaks down the barrier and personalizes the homeless experience hoping to share real-life perspectives in order to de-stigmatize our neighbors in tents.

Where We Grow Older: Directed by Daniel Schwartz - Investigating two models of how care and housing can be reconceived in light of prolonged lives: public housing as part of municipal policies and infrastructure—where the city is the caretaker—and the creation of a new architectural model that offers care in a single building managed by private entities not only to the elderly but also to their caretakers—where the building becomes the city.

Outside In: Directed by Danny Berish - What is happening to us as we remove ourselves from nature and place ourselves into high-rises of steel and glass? What are the physiological tolls this displacement takes? Outside In, a Telus Original, examines the hard science behind a movement of healthy home design called biophilia, which suggests that building healthier homes can affect positive changes in our blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones. The film features interviews with renowned architects about the future of biophilic design, introduces viewers to homeowners experimenting with biophilic principles, and showcases Jennell Stanley, interior designer and mother, and her process in building a biophilic home from the ground up, focusing on the health of her young family.
