Sentimental Value - A Reel Alternatives Film
2026-02-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Algonquin Theatre
Grand Prix winner, Cannes (2025) A record eight Golden Globe (2026) nominations (Best Drama, Director, Screenplay, plus acting nods for Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas)
In Sentimental Value, Joachim Trier returns with a poignant, darkly comic portrait of fractured family ties and artistic ambition. A fading film director (Stellan Skarsgård) disrupts the lives of his estranged daughters when he returns to their childhood home with plans to shoot a deeply personal biopic. As old wounds resurface, Nora (Renate Reinsve), a celebrated actress battling anxiety, and Agnes, a steady but scarred mother, must confront the legacy of abandonment, art, and emotional manipulation.
The charismatic Gustav offers his daughter Nora, a gifted but troubled stage actress, a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning). Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.
Masterfully made, Sentimental Value is an intimate, moving, and often funny film about family, time, and how we sometimes need to rewrite the stories we tell about ourselves in order to survive.​

Language: English, Norwegian (with English subtitles)

Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery
2026-03-09 14:00 - 16:00 | Algonquin Theatre
Reel Alternatives presents this illuminating documentary to honour International Women’s Day (which takes place the day prior).

Lilith Fair changed everything. Upon its emergence in 1997, this revolutionary travelling music festival, helmed by superstar Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan and featuring exclusively women or women-led acts, exploded the notion that popular music could only support a token quota of women’s voices.
This galvanizing documentary from director Ally Pankiw chronicles Lilith Fair’s triumphant three-year run and features new interviews with key performers such as Jewel, Bonnie Raitt, Erykah Badu, and Emmylou Harris. With beautifully integrated performances, backstage footage, and media coverage, Pankiw explores the logistics and challenges in making these events happen. She also highlights the festival’s significance to younger up-and-coming artists through interviews with Brandi Carlile and Olivia Rodrigo. There’s also testimony from actor-filmmaker Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek), a producer of the film, who caught his first Fair as a boy and was forever affected. The legacy of Lilith Fair lives on, and this inspiring film tells us why.

Hamnet - A Reel Alternatives Film Screening
2026-03-23 14:00 - 16:00 | Algonquin Theatre
Winner, People’s Choice Award, TIFF 2025
Nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress
Winner, Golden Globes Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Lead Actress, Motion Picture – Drama
From Academy Award winning writer/director Chloé Zhao, Hamnet tells the powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. ​
In William Shakespeare’s day, the names Hamlet and Hamnet were interchangeable. This film uses that context as the basis for a tender exploration of Shakespeare’s domestic life, connecting a family tragedy to one of his most famous works. Maybe we can better understand Hamlet, Zhao suggests, if we consider that it was developed while the most famous writer in the Western canon was mourning the death of his 11-year-old son, Hamnet.​
Based on the novel by Maggie O’Farrell, Hamnet’s main character isn’t The Bard — played here by an impressive Paul Mescal — or even the child who gives the film its name. Hamnet belongs to Agnes, Shakespeare’s thoughtful wife, played by an enthralling Jessie Buckley, who bathes the film in her warmth. Grief is a theme here, but Hamnet is not just a film about death. Early scenes of Agnes and William’s courtship are naturalistic, rendered through lush cinematography. Like any family story, this one contains joy alongside sorrow.
