So Surreal: Behind the Masks, co-directed by Joanne Robertson

Neil Diamond is a Cree filmmaker, who made a huge impact with Reel Injun, a documentary about the negative “Indian” stereotypes that so permeate Western society that even the filmmaker as a child wanted to be a cowboy, not himself, when playing with friends. Reel Injun won three Gemini Awards including for best director and went on to win a Peabody Award. His new film So Surreal: Behind the Masks, co-directed by Joanne Robertson, explores the strange but intense relationship between Surrealism and the masks of the Yup’ik ‘and Kwakwaka’wakw nations and how that commingling came to pass. It’s about cultural appropriation, art and dream imagery.

qIFF: Bird

March 8, 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Bird

Drama – Not rated

Andrea Arnold, the filmmaker behind Fish Tank and American Honey, has returned with a sensitive, fairytale-like coming-of-age story. 12-year-old Bailey lives with her single dad Bug, played by Barry Keoghan, who’s both charismatic and incredibly sad, in a squat in North Kent. Bug doesn’t have much time for his kids, and Bailey, who is approaching puberty, seeks attention and adventure elsewhere. Bird is for every lost child who wishes someone would have stood up and defended them. It’s a fragile but beautiful vision and marks the strongest blend yet of Andrea Arnold’s primary directives as a filmmaker. Her films have always had a bit of the magical in them., and Bird fluidly drops in and out of reality and something more magical.
