Kingston Canadian Film Festival Turns Up the Heat

The folks at Kingston Canadian Film Festival definitely got the memo. Besides offering a special screening of the hit series Heated Rivalry with a panel discussion, there's a special dose of hockey in this year's KCFF line-up, plus one healthy serving of sex positivity.

KCFF opens with the hockey drama Youngblood, Oscar-nominated doc director Hubert Davis's remake of the 1986 film. On the documentary side, hockey shoots a trip down memory lane in Team of the Century, Annie Stewart's look back at the London Knights' record-setting 2004-2005 season.

Agatha's Almanac

One of the most acclaimed Canadian docs of 2025, and the only one to make Canada's Top Ten. Director Amalie Atkins offers a lovingly eclectic portrait of nonagenarian Agatha Bock and her passion for gardening.

Modern Whore

Nicole Bazuin's Modern Whore playfully explores the complexity of sex work in the contemporary landscape. The film combines the authenticity of documentary with the stylization and narrative possibilities of fiction filmmaking in the hybrid format.

True North

A snapshot of Canada's Black Power movement and resistance fuels Michèle Stephenson's provocatively jazzy documentary that spotlights voices who pushed for change. True North revisits the 1969 protest at Montreal's Sir George Williams University where students occupied the ninth floor computer lab to draw attention to systemic racism.

The Kingston Canadian Film Festival ran February 25 to March 1.
