Premiering in competition at Berlin, Denis Côté’s “That Kind of Summer” began life as a kind of thought experiment meant to address a rather large oversight in modern Quebecois cinema. “I asked myself, why was it so difficult to name a Quebecois film from the past 25 years that treated sexuality as its central theme?”
Kino Lorber has acquired U.S. rights to writer-director Ajitpal Singh’s debut feature, “Fire in the Mountains,” which premiered in the World Dramatic Competition of the Sundance Film Festival in 2021.

Florence Pugh, perhaps unintentionally, maintains a fervent flock of style devotees. They’ve strung up Instagram accounts, Tumblr pages, and aspirational essays in her honor.
