What’s playing at local cinemas to kick April off? I’ll start with my recommendations of recently released films, then dive into a terrific selection from the vault, including one of my favourite silent films. All these are at Ottawa’s independent cinemas, the ByTowne and the Mayfair.
The Academy Awards nominees were announced. The Oscar Awards ceremony will be on March 2. Some contenders are playing at the ByTowne and the Mayfair in the first half of February.
Welcome to January 2025! In this, my first article of the year, I’m going to imitate Janus because my two favourite films of 2024 – Flow and Anora – are still screening at the Mayfair and there are a bunch of not-to-be-missed films from the past at the ByTowne and the Mayfair.
There’s an eclectic, pleasing selection of films at the ByTowne and the Mayfair at the tail end of 2024. Find out what the two cinemas are offering in this edition of Magic in the Dark.
Christmas seems to be coming early—the first half of December sees the ByTowne and the Mayfair gifting us with lots of great films, including a very special Christmas treat at the ByTowne on Dec.12.
I’m almost overwhelmed by the number of promising new and terrific old films we can see at the ByTowne and the Mayfair in the second part of November. Let’s see what’s in store!
The days are shorter and colder, but that’s a good reason to get comfy at the ByTowne and the Mayfair. And since we’re heading into awards season and folks who have an awards contender (or think they have) are releasing their films to attract lots of buzz and influence the awards jurors, there are many new films to choose from.
