"He's in there every night with his damn... gang, selling that stupid cocaine" Miami. 1987. The streets are overrun with a gang of motorbike-riding, cocaine-slinging ninjas. It's up to Dragon Sound, a guitar-synth-pop-rock band of taekwondo orphans, to keep Vice City safe. Following its limited initial release in Greater Orlando and West Germany, Leith Kino is bringing Miami Connection to the Central Belt for a celebration of 'so-bad-it's-good' cinema. It's 84 minutes of 1980s action as told through the lens of writer-director and star Y.K. Kim, a taekwondo instructor with no previous (or later) filmmaking experience. Since its rediscovery in 2009, Miami Connection's reputation on the cult cinema circuit has been growing, with Oscar-winning director Sean Baker (Anora, The Florida Project) considering it among his top 4 films of all time. So trim your mullets, don your tank tops, and get down to Leith Depot for a film that celebrates neon-lit taekwondo action, electric guitars, and most important of all, the power of friendship. Leith Kino Access Information - English subtitles will be onscreen for every screening, including descriptive captions where possible. - The screening room is on ground level and is wheelchair accessible from the Leith Depot bar with flexible seating to accomodate specific requirements. - There are accessible toilets in both the screening room and the bar.

Angry Annie tells the story of Annie (Laure Calamy), a working mother of two, who accidentally becomes pregnant in 1974 and joins the MLAC (Mouvement pour la liberté de l’avortement et de la contraception), an organisation created in 1973 in France and whose goal was to make contraception and abortion legal and safe.

Today in Canada, can a Francophone still call themselves “French Canadian”? Actor and host Pascal Justin Boyer, born in Quebec and raised in Ontario, sets out across the country to find an answer. Feeling caught between labels like Québécois, Franco-Ontarian, and French Canadian, he wonders whether this identity is fading or simply transforming. In The Last French Canadian, Boyer travels from the Yukon to the Prairies, Quebec, and Acadia, meeting Francophones with wildly different relationships to language and belonging. A York University professor tells him that the term “French Canadian” is outdated and tied to colonial history. Yet “Québécois” doesn’t fit Boyer either, since he has spent most of his life outside Quebec. Even “Franco-Ontarian,” his parents’ chosen identity, feels too narrow, leaving out the cultural ties he still feels to his home province. The documentary mirrors the quick tempo of Boyer’s mother tongue, mixing humour, archival footage, and candid conversations. The film ultimately explores whether preserving the idea of being “French Canadian” risks stripping the label of its “Canadian” part altogether, leaving Boyer to ask what exactly he hopes to defend. The film will be followed by a Q&A with director Pascal Justin Boyer and co-creator/producer Isabelle Corriveau.
