In the early 1970s, Keith Lock moved to the hippie community of Buck Lake, north of Kingston, Ontario. He went there to join members of Toronto’s underground scene, capturing the daily life of a horizontal, ideal society, free from urban oppression. The result is one of the masterpieces of Canadian experimental cinema, but above all a free-spirited film that challenges the very idea of freedom.

Subscription access
97-year-old antifascist fighter Sonja was one of the first female Yugoslav Partisans and a member of the resistance in Auschwitz.

Eastern Anthems
Subscription access
An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialogue between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X (periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the United States), invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures. A road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human), the warnings ...

We follow Antoine in his classes, playing with friends, skating, and visiting family. We accompany him on imaginary excursions as a detective, listen to him as a radio host, and sit shotgun as he drives his parents’ car. Antoine allows us access back into chi...

Language is a Love Story
In Montreal, in Madame Loiseau’s class, newcomers to the country are starting the school year. Whether they are from Syria, Nepal, Afghanistan, or Djibouti, their knowledge of French is limited, if not nonexistent. Guided by a compassionate and dedicated teacher, these adults—who dream of a better life, and some of whom have never been to school before—gradually become acquainted with the cultu...
