Hi Film Lovers,
Welcome to 2026! We hope your year has gotten off to a great start so far. We’ve spent the last few weeks planning for a year centered on celebrating filmmakers, building community and curating more stories and we are very excited to share what's coming up with you.
Join us on Thursday, February 26th at JAYU at 7 PM as we return to the screen with the Love Edition, a curation of short films that explore love and romance in all its forms.
Here's the lineup:
- Delulu? | Directed by Janice Njuguna
A sapphic romance begins with a spark and is tested by old feelings that have resurfaced.
- Fried Fish and Plantain | Directed by Paul-Daniel Torres
Reunited after years apart, two almost-lovers wander Toronto on a post-lockdown date to see if they were ever more than a situationship.
- Cul-De-Sac | Directed by Satrio Prahasto
Old friends turn an empty apartment into a home, and quietly reopen feelings they never finished.
- To Her Next Lover | Directed by Manny Olofinsola
Two souls bound by love but fated to part.
Grab your tickets below to secure your spot in the room. Tickets are pay what you can, so you can choose what feels right.
Your support is what keeps this community growing, and a portion of proceeds goes directly into our Ciné Fund to support the filmmakers in our lineup.
