BLUE HERON

Gallery Night at the Movie presents multi-award-winning Canadian film BLUE HERON on Monday October 5, with screenings at 1pm, 4pm and 7pm at Galaxy Theatres in Owen Sound.

Within a re-creation of childhood joys lies a more troubling story of a family’s growing crisis in Sophy Romvari’s affecting and intelligent feature debut. The graceful opening scenes depict a period of transition for a Hungarian Canadian family of six as they adapt to a new home on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, seen from the perspective of the youngest daughter Sasha. Fascinating and moving as a meditation on grief, memory, and love, Blue Heron sees the filmmaker blur the borders between fiction and documentary in ways that aren’t soon forgotten.  Subtitles   90 minutes    Not Rated

Winner: Best Canadian Discovery Award, TIFF (2025); Canada's Top Ten, TIFF (2025); Swatch First Feature Award, Locarno Film Festival (2025)
