"Have you ever heard about a family like this?" Janus Films has unveiled the trailer for the Canadian indie film titled Blue Heron, marking the feature directorial debut of acclaimed Canadian-Hungarian filmmaker Sophy Romvari. This premiered at the 2025 Locarno Film Festival last year then played at the Toronto, San Sebastian, Chicago, and Vancouver Film Festivals as well. Romvari described Blue Heron as her "most significant attempt to capture just how fallible memory is." A cinematic story about her upbringing. It's her own autobiographical tale about experiences growing up with her family on Vancouver Island - her parents are immigrants from Hungary. A family of six settles into their new home on Vancouver Island as internal dynamics are slowly revealed through the eyes of the youngest child.

"Drawing on her own life story, [she] masterfully plays with the boundaries of fiction, breaking with the expectations of the traditional coming-of-age story." This stars Eylul Guven, Iringó Réti, Ádám Tompa, Edik Beddoes, Amy Zimmer, Liam Serg, and Preston Drabble. This earned rave reviews from critics and opens in limited theaters in April. // Continue Reading ›
