Cinéma Moderne is pleased to unveil the new films available on its online platform in May. Thanks to the collaboration of independent distributors, Cinéma Moderne renews its quality cinema offer every week to support moviegoers during this period of confinement.
This month, Cinéma Moderne offers two enlightening documentaries that follow in the footsteps of reporters Robert Fisk (This is Not a Movie by Yung Chang) and Leilani Farha (Push by Fredrik Gertten), in addition to the quirky comedy Ivory Tower by Adam Traynor, starring Chilly Gonzales, Tiga and Peaches – and celebrating 10 years since being selected in Locarno in 2010. Also on the program, the most recent work by British filmmaker Ken Loach (Sorry We Missed You) and three fiction films that marked the festival circuit: I Was at Home, But by Angela Shanelec (Silver Bear – Berlin Film Festival 2019), Zombi Child by Bertrand Bonello (Directors’ Fortnight – Cannes 2019), and A White, White Day by Hlynur Pálmason (Best Actor – FNC 2019). The presence of Canadian cinema is highlighted by the original works Cranks by Ryan McKenna, and Copenhague, A Love Story, the first fiction film by Philippe Lesage, which will be offered free of charge.
