Based on the Governor General's Award-winning novel, Ru is the story of the arduous journey of a wealthy family fleeing from Vietnam in 1975 after the fall of Saigon, then spending time at a refugee camp in Malaysia, before landing in Quebec. A stunningly beautiful film, Ru is an examination of forced migration, isolation, and newfound belonging, told through rich visuals and an orchestral score. Languages: French, Vietnamese & English (English subtitles)

In this remake of the 1952 film Ikiru, director Oliver Hermanus teams with Nobel-and Booker Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro to renew a classic. Mr. Williams (Bill Nighy) is a buttoned-down, pinstripe-and-bowler hat-clad stereotypical English gentleman in 1952, with a mid-level bureaucratic job in a postwar London county council. One day Williams receives a dire diagnosis from his doctor and soon the tightly held reins of his very prosaic life begin to loosen.
