Remember
Starring Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau

“Remember” is the contemporary story of Zev, who discovers that the Nazi guard who murdered his family some 70 years ago is living in America under an assumed identity. Despite the obvious challenges, Zev sets out on a mission to deliver long-delayed justice. What follows is a remarkable cross-continent road-trip with surprising consequences.

Dir. Richard J. Lewis | Canada

The Trotsky
Dir. Jacob Tierney | Canada
Leon Bronstein is not your average Montreal West high school student, he thinks he’s the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky. Sent to public school as punishment for starting a hunger strike at Papa’s clothing factory, Leon quickly lends new meaning to the term ‘student union’, determined as he is to live out his pre-ordained destiny to change the world.
