Remake
TBA
In Remake, filmmaker Ross McElwee turns his lens on the passage of time and the uneasy space between documenting life and understanding it. The film traces McElwee’s relationship with his son Adrian, and the fragile bond the camera created between them while Adrian was alive, and now that he’s gone. Drawing from decades of footage, some shot by Ross, some by Adrian, the film becomes a layered excavation of memory and image making. Threaded through is the ghost of another project: a stalled effort by Hollywood to fictionalise McElwee’s 1986 classic, Sherman’s March. What emerges is a work shaped by absence and propelled forward by the urge to keep looking, even when there’s no clear story left to tell. [Venice]

Fearless young doctor Lorena opens a clinic for the poor, but disappears without a trace shortly afterwards.

Renoir
May 29, 2026
Suburban Tokyo, 1987. Imaginative eleven-year-old Fuki begins her summer break lonely and adrift – her kind, terminally ill father has landed once again in the hospital and her mother, distracted by the inevitability of his diagnosis, hasn’t much time for her daughter. Fuki responds to the situation not with tears but with placid curiosity about the prospect of death – becoming fascinated by the occult and experimenting with hypnotism. As the summer passes, Fuki encounters a string of lonely, imperfect adults, all of whom nudge her closer to an emotional truth she isn't quite ready to name yet.

Wildfire
TBA
Having disappeared from her quiet border town in Northern Ireland a year prior, Kelly (Nika McGuigan) suddenly shows up on the doorstep of her sister, Lauren (Nora-Jane Noone). Born within a year of each other, these “Irish twins” share a deep bond despite their differences: Kelly, the wild one, makes Lauren’s married life and factory job look like pillars of conventionality. Kelly’s return, however, quickly stirs up long-repressed traumas between the sisters, and in their community, that threaten this veneer of stability. And Lauren soon must choose between the life she knows and her connection to her sister. [TIFF]
