Les Cowboys Fringants as you've never seen them before! (Re)live the magical atmosphere of one of the band's shows, as if you were on stage with them. Twenty years after Les Cowboys Fringants' historic recording at the Bell Centre in 2003, which marked the end of their exceptional Break syndical tour, the band did it again in January 2023 with a concert filmed at the Videotron Centre during their Les Antipodes tour, which broke all attendance and ticket sales records. Les Cowboys Fringants are no strangers to large-scale concerts, having repeatedly filled the Bell Centre and Videotron Centre to capacity, as well as dozens of arenas in French-speaking Europe. With a festive crowd, an incomparable connection with the audience, visibly moved fans, breathtaking cinematic images, and the band's greatest hits, this new recording is reminiscent of historic rock concert films!
Two hundred years ago immigrant farmers in the Catskills, fed up with oppression and exploitation by absentee landlords, staged a rebellion known as the Anti-Rent War. The uprising changed the course of history, paving the way to land rights across America and to the formation of a new political group—Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party. Today, although largely forgotten, the historic uprising lives on through direct descendants of those rebellious farmers. Calico Rebellion explores a pivotal moment in American history, and a community’s unique and enduring connection to the past through the songs, stories, and costumes preserved from the 1840s. Part historical “true crime” story and part meditation on land and belonging in America, Calico Rebellion is a deep dive into small town America, its identity, idealism and the violence that percolates beneath the surface.

On April 6, 2025, Samanta Petakova finished her 300th marathon in Krakow, Poland. This medal earned the marathon runner the title of Latvian record holder, but the road to the record was not strewn with roses. Samanta's mother left her when she was six years old, and her father passed away two years ago. The marathon runner's life has been full of trials and tribulations, but at the same time, she is proof that a person who is seen at the top of the mountain did not fall there. Samanta's story confirms that challenges in life are not a stamp in your passport. This story is about big goals, high stakes, determination, perseverance, and the fulfillment of seemingly impossible dreams. It will inspire anyone who is faced with a choice—to do or not to do. It is a reminder to everyone that with faith in yourself, you can do great things.
Filmmaker Sarah Vanagt shoots with a small camera as she wanders through Brussels, where she encounters Polish, Iranian, Brazilian, Belgian, and Moroccan construction laborers, busy at work. At her request, they write notes addressed to future generations, and then hide them—beneath paving stones, inside pipes, or behind walls. Sometimes it’s a wish or reflection; sometimes simply a greeting from the present. One reads: “When you find this, I hope the world is a better place.”

She sees more of the world than her brothers and sisters do.
