Our Favourite Season is Awards<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Moira from Schitt\u2019s Creek would say, her favourite season is \u201cAwards\u201d. McGill Libraries has nearly every award-winning film from the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Director’s Guild Awards. This month\u2019s display includes a selection of winners from the past five years, in DVD and as evideos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family drama and relationships<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

Many award-winning films explore complicated relationships and stories withing families. These are for viewers looking to get lost in character-driven stories about human connections. The Whale<\/a> is the story of reclusive English teacher who seeks redemption by reconnecting with his estranged teenage daughter. In A Real Pain<\/a>, two cousins embark on a Holocaust history tour of Poland, with moments of joy while coming to terms with grief and loss. Past Lives<\/a> chronicles childhood friends, Nora and Hae Sung, over 24 years and several countries.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories of Women<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For patrons looking for women\u2019s stories, Barbie<\/a> uses satire and fantasy to explore the pressures placed on women. The Eyes of Tammy Faye<\/a> reframes a public figure long reduced to caricature, in a male\u2011dominated religious empire. In contrast, Women Talking<\/a> offers a stark, intimate look at women confronting systemic harm and reclaiming their power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power in True Stories<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documentary films open a window into real lives and moments that shape our world. Our collection spans decades, genres and tone \u2013 from vibrant to harrowing, providing something for everyone who wants to take a closer look at a given subject. Summer of Soul<\/a> is directed by Questlove, and showcases the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, which celebrated Black history, music, and fashion over six weeks.  For a look into the Russian siege of Mariupol in 2022, check out 20 Days in Mariupol.<\/a> In 1991, French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft captured their lives and romance on stunning 16mm footage; Fire of Love<\/a> explores their passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Films for Mini-Movie Lovers<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

Children\u2019s films are also included in our award winners. Flow<\/a> is a dialogue-free, animated adventure about a solitary cat navigating a flooded, post-apocalyptic world. For those who like more of a sing-along, Encanto <\/a>follows the stories of a magical family in Columbia called The Madrigals, and in particular, the ups and downs of Mirabel.  Soul<\/a> looks at big questions like \u201cwhat is the meaning of life\u201d and \u201cwhat is our purpose\u201d when a middle-school teacher ends up in the \u201cGreat Before\u201d and teams up with a soul-in-training.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
