The Bus Stop Theatre Co-operative

Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival 2025

The 19th annual Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival returns with a celebration of local and international arthouse films from May 28–31, 2025, at the Bus Stop Theatre.

For over 40 years, there’s been no better model for prolific, shape-shifting filmmaking than Kiyoshi Kurosawa. One of the true modern masters of Japanese cinema, Kurosawa has effortlessly adapted his signature style to horror, spy thrillers, quasi-musical travelogues, even a French-language remake of his own early work.Cloud is (roughly) Kurosawa’s 27th feature, and it picks up in theme where his 2001 opus Pulse left off: in a menacing sojourn through the horrors of online living. In it, Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda, The Boy and the Heron) turns a shady side gig as an internet reseller into a full-time operation, quitting his day job and carting himself and his girlfriend Akiko (Kotone Furukawa, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy) out to the Japanese countryside.As sinister acts begin to take place around his new home, Ryosuke struggles to find the perpetrator behind them, as his online transgressions could make him the target of potentially anyone. What follows is a violent journey through our morally ambiguous present, one that works to tie digital torment back to the very real pain it produces. —Evan Bower
