2:30 pm - THE CONVERT

From acclaimed director Lee Tamahori ( “Once Were Warriors”) “The Convert” is a gripping historical drama set in 19th-century New Zealand. The film follows an English missionary (Guy Pearce) who arrives to spread his faith in the Māori lands, only to find himself torn between cultures and caught in the violent clash of beliefs. With stunning performances and breathtaking scenery, the film paints a vivid picture of colonialism, spirituality and survival. A riveting tale of identity and loyalty, it is a must-see for fans of historical epics.

5:00 pm - THE WAY MY WAY

If you’ve ever contemplated walking the Camino de Santiago, this adventure film will show you what it’s like and inspire you to do it. Based on his best-selling memoir of the same name, Australian writer-director Bill Bennett simultaneously captures the stunning beauty of the landscape and the physical and emotional pain, as well as elation of trekking 800 kilometers on the pilgrims trail in France and Spain. Chris Haywood plays Bill, whose compulsion to embark on this journey is a mystery even to him. Along the way he meets fellow travelers, a mix of actors and true pilgrims, who help him change in touching and unexpected ways.

7:30 pm - FALLING INTO PLACE

In an auspicious debut as a filmmaker, the German actress Aylin Tezel directs herself as Kira, a German artist living in London. Consumed with self-doubt, she is further shaken when vacationing on the Scottish Isle of Skye, she meets Ian (“Bridgerton’s” Chris Fulton), a struggling musician, at a local pub. Visually stunning early scenes show the pair playfully running and jumping along the isle’s irregular coast, so isolated that they could be alone in the world, in contrast to the London hubbub. All the tropes of romantic movies are honored, but the film never descends into cliché. There is a fullness to the script (written by Tezel) fleshing out the couple’s lives with family, friends and, most dramatically, past lovers.
