'Wicked' and ‘Wicked: For Good’ director Jon M. Chu presents '2001: A Space Odyssey'

Running time: 152 mins

‘Director of 'Wicked' and ‘Wicked: For Good’ Jon M. Chu presents some of his favourite films at Genesis Cinema with a special screening of '2001: A Space Odyssey'. A pair of astronauts heads to Jupiter to investigate a radio signal sent from a mysterious monolith on the moon, but their tranquil trip is endangered when their on-board computer begins acting oddly. The simple plot of director Stanley Kubrick's inspired space adventure (co-scripted with noted science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke) belies the profound philosophical implications of this classic film, which inspires viewers to ask questions about the nature of advanced civilizations . . . and of human consciousness. Nearly half a century after its release, the film's groundbreaking special effects are still breathtaking, and its ending still mind-bending.

Mercy + Q&A - LIFF

Running time: 99 mins

On a silent Christmas Eve, Shekhar is forced to face the unthinkable: deciding whether to end his mother’s life. In the stillness of that dark night, as machines beep and hope fades, he’s torn apart by love, guilt, and duty. The choice he makes shatters the fragile ties within his family—and leaves him forever changed, carrying the weight of a decision no one should ever have to make.
