Montréal, ma belle — Carbon Arc

Sunday, March 8, 5:30 PM Sunday, March 8, 8:15 PM Thursday, March 19, 8:45 PM Xiaodan He | Canada | 2025 | 118m French and Mandarin with English subtitles Feng Xia, a 53-year-old Chinese immigrant and mother living in Montreal, has spent her life shaped by duty — to her family, her culture, and a loveless marriage. But when she meets Camille, a spirited young Québécoise, a long-buried desire is awakened. In the balmy and joyful Montreal summer, Feng Xia takes the radical step of choosing herself — embarking on a journey of forbidden love and long-overdue self-discovery. Her awakening becomes a profound reckoning with identity, exile, and the steep cost of liberation. “This lovely, award-winning film is a quiet but moving tale about identity. It is also a love letter to the vibrant Canadian city.” – Liz Brawn, Original Cin Winner: Best Canadian Film – Windsor International Film Festival, 2025 Winner: Outstanding Feature Film Actress – Reelworld Film Festival, 2025 Winner: Best Canadian Film – Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival, 2025 Winner: Outstanding Lead Performance in a Canadian Film – Toronto Film Critics Association Awards, 2025 Tickets $12 ($11.40 at the door if available) Sunday, March 8, 5:30 PM tickets Sunday, March 8, 8:15 PM tickets Thursday, March 19, 8:45 PM tickets Tagged thursday late
