Kensington Online Film Festival (FREE!)

Grab some popcorn and enjoy some free full-length films from our vault. They’re oldies (i.e. they were shot 4:3 for gosh sakes) but they’re still goodies.

SEPARATE LIVES

We invite to you start by setting the Wayback Machine for 1996 to watch the Gemini-winning extraordinary story of conjoined twins from Pakistan and the pioneering operation that gave them a chance at a new life.

 

A PLACE IN THE WORLD

If you want more…this award-winning doc goes even further back to reveal a remarkable community where people with intellectual and physical disabilities are able to reach their full potential in a nurturing environment.

MARIPOSA: UNDER A STORY SKY

By now you might be in the mood for something light… like a concert film from 1991 featuring outstanding performances by country star Emmylou Harris, blues great Buddy Guy, super-producer turned singer Daniel Lanois, and the powerful singing and dancing of Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens from Soweto, South Africa.

 

JOE DAVID: SPIRIT OF THE MASK

Here’s Kensington’s second production from the 80s: a quiet, powerful short doc about Nuu-chah-nulth artist Joe David, one of the strong contemporary links in the preservation and reinvention of the art of the Northwest Coast.

 

BIGGEST LITTLE TICKET

And finally, here’s a real outlier from our back catalog: an award-winning children’s special from 1994 starring some of the biggest names in children’s entertainment. MORE
