TREAT YOUR INNER CINEPHILE!

1 TICKET, 6 FILMS

Red Carpet Patrons are granted access to 5 film screenings + bonus access to one of our Gala Film Presentations during the 38th edition of Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival (September 19-27, 2026). Red Carpet film screenings for 2026 will take place on the following dates:

• JANUARY 21 - RESCHEDULED TO FEBRUARY 11 AT 7PM

Luis and his son arrive at a rave lost in the middle of the arid and ghostly mountains of southern Morocco. They are looking for Marina—daughter and sister—who disappeared months ago at one of these excessive parties. Pushed by destiny, they decide to follow a group of ravers in search of one last party to be held in the desert, in the hope that Marina will be there. SIRĀT won the Cannes Jury Prize earlier this year and was recently nominated for two Academy Awards (Best International Feature Film and Best Sound).

• MARCH 25 AT 7PM

When the last of the sisters of St. Suzanne’s face forced retirement, they take matters into their own hands. A last-minute dash to New Zealand’s stunning South Island leads them to an ex-nun-turned-lawyer who can defend their rights. A young Māori boy jumps onboard to help but has a secret mission of his own: to reach the peak of Mt. Cook, where he believes he’ll find his recently deceased mother before she steps off into the spirit world. But things go terribly wrong when an unexpected snowstorm throws everyone off course, and this oddball group of friends faces their greatest challenge yet—mortality.

• MAY 27 AT 7PM

Niki is a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing catches the attention of criminals eager to exploit his talent for opening safes. With his once-promising musical career behind him, he works across New York alongside his mentor Harry, encountering a range of characters—including a composition student with whom he forms an unexpected connection. As their bond deepens, it is threatened when Niki is drawn into increasingly dangerous territory. Tuner marks the first narrative feature from Academy Award–winning director Daniel Roher (Navalny).

• JULY 22 AT 7PM

In a small French town, Hélène, Michel, and their two children live happily in the carefree 1950s. Suddenly propelled to 2025, the couple discovers a modern world completely unlike any they know. For Hélène, who has always lived a conventional life in her husband's shadow, it's a revolution. But for Michel, whose privileges as a man are shattered, it's a cataclysm. Between the winds of change and the scents of yesteryear, this journey through time will be anything but peaceful.

Dans une petite ville française, Hélène, Michel et leurs deux enfants vivent des jours heureux dans l’insouciance des années 1950. Soudainement propulsés en 2025, ils découvrent un monde moderne à l’opposé de celui qu’ils connaissent. Pour Hélène, qui a toujours vécu comme il se doit dans l’ombre de son époux, c’est une révolution. Mais pour Michel, qui voit ses privilèges d’homme voler en éclats, c’est un cataclysme. Entre vent nouveau et parfum d’antan, ce voyage dans le temps ne sera vraiment pas de tout repos.
