- A Celebration of Canada
Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight‑year‑old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family as they attempt to build a new life, only to be destabilised by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of her older brother, Jeremy.
Drawing on her own memories, filmmaker Sophy Romvari shapes a deeply personal portrait of childhood, family fractures, and the fragility of recollection.
Scottish premiere at the 2025 Inverness Film Festival.
A Celebration of Canada
Exploring Canada‘s cinematic history spanning the past century, built by its rich culture and diverse heritage.
Canadian cinema is now more successful than ever, making it the perfect time to celebrate the successes of the country’s film industry and the impact it is having on cinema as a whole.
Woven around the works of influential Scottish-Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren, the season will showcase a diverse representation of films: from the work of the elder statesmen of Canadian cinema, to those who broke new ground in the industry, First Nations Canadians and immigrants, who have been the backbone of the country throughout its history, and the next generation of filmmakers bringing the movement to theatres globally.
