  • The Fire In Our Hearts

    Landmark Cinemas Nanaimo 6631 N Island Hwy, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada

    When wildfire closes in on the remote Southside of northern British Columbia, the Cheslatta Carrier Nation and local residents face an impossible choice: evacuate, or stay and defend the land that defines them. With distance, limited access, and delayed outside response, the community is forced to rely on itself—drawing on Indigenous leadership, cooperation, and generations of lived knowledge to meet the fire in near isolation. But the flames expose more than devastation. In the aftermath, the burn reveals the long-erased site of a Cheslatta village, resurfacing a suppressed chapter of history and reframing what is truly at stake. The Fire In Our Hearts is an intimate, cinematic portrait of resilience and sovereignty—showing how community-led action, responsibility, and memory shape survival in a world increasingly defined by fire.

  • The Choral

    Vancouver Island Conference Centre 80 Commercial Street, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada

    The Choral is a testament to music’s power to sustain our souls in troubled times. This inspiring drama depicts a British choir director’s efforts to assemble an ensemble during the darkest days of the First World War. Dr. Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) is forced to recruit his singers from among the town’s adolescent population. Under his guidance these teens will come to know the transcendent joys of singing together, while steeling themselves for their impending conscription. The Choral reminds us of the importance of cultivating community and using art to process anxieties and generate hope.
