EASY GIRL | Premiering on VOD/Digital/FM+ on June 12th
Nore (Dana Herfuth) is a self-styled femme fatale who refuses to spend a night alone — even if it means relying on strangers. Without a home of her own, she drifts from one pub rendezvous to the next, seducing admiring regulars. But one evening, when her charms fall flat, she runs into Jonna (Luna Jordan), a reserved medical student and former classmate, who offers her a spare room.
Reunited, the two women fall into an intoxicating rhythm: nights out on the town, adorned in Nore’s handmade, flamboyant wardrobe, rarely ending without a man at their side. Yet cracks soon form. Jonna, initially swept up in the whirlwind, grows weary of the revolving door of lovers. And after a chance night with one of her friend’s cast-offs, Michel, Jonna finds herself in an unexpected relationship, leaving Nore increasingly adrift.
Beneath Nore’s dazzling façade and bravado lies a fragility she can’t outrun. She preaches freedom, danger, and living boldly, yet her joy is fleeting, shadowed by unresolved trauma from her past. And when she spirals toward self-destruction, Michel urges Jonna to intervene. Together, they peel back the layers of Nore’s history, revisiting the exuberance of her younger self and the deep pain it concealed. In confronting her past, Nore begins to reframe her wounds, opening the possibility of healing, self-acceptance, and a future no longer defined by the ghosts of yesterday in this “candy-colored, flamboyant and deeply personal film”(Variety), winner of a Special Jury Award in the First Feature Competition at the 2025 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.
PROMISED SKY | in Theaters June 12th
An Ivorian pastor and former journalist, Marie, opens her home in Tunisia to three generations of migrant women: Naney, Jolie, and Kenza. A mother desperate to obtain residency status in Tunisia, Naney seeks a better life for herself and her daughter. Jolie, in Tunisia on a student visa, feels burdened by her family’s expectations for her future. Kenza, an orphaned child and the only survivor of a shipwreck carrying refugees to Tunisia, is lost and in need of a mother. Marie struggles with her role as a spiritual leader while assuming the role of Kenza’s caregiver and supporting Naney and Jolie. As the four women grow closer in this makeshift family, they must grapple with poverty, conflict, and alienation.
Erige Sehiri’s PROMISED SKY, an Un Certain Regards Award nominee at Cannes in 2025, is a “bittersweet celebration of endurance and sacrifice” (Screen Daily), demonstrating the importance of resilience, friendship and human connection in the face of global tensions surrounding migration and refugee crises worldwide.
BLIND LOVE | Streaming on Film Movement+ June 19th
Shu-yi (Ariel Lin) appears to lead an enviable life. Her husband is a rising star on his way to becoming president of a hospital, her younger son is an inquisitive child just beginning to explore the world, and her teenage son Han (Jim Liu, Disney’s American Born Chinese) is a gifted Go player, though one quietly rebelling against the pressure to follow his father’s footsteps. Behind this outwardly perfect image, Shu-yi silently holds the family together, her unhappiness carefully buried beneath the life she was told to desire.
Everything shifts when Shu-yi unexpectedly reconnects with Xue-jin (Ke-xi Wu, Blue Sun Palace), an enigmatic photographer and ophthalmologist with whom she shares a long-suppressed history. Their reunion forces Shu-yi to confront long-buried memories, longing, and desires, threatening to unravel everything she has built. Meanwhile, Han crosses paths with the same charismatic woman, finding in her a new energy and passion that awakens desires of his own, drawing both mother and son into a collision course neither could have anticipated.
In her sophomore feature, Taiwanese director Julian Chou crafts a tender and incisive melodrama anchored by bold storytelling and layered performances. Against the backdrop of Taiwan — the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage – BLIND LOVE delicately navigates queerness, gender, identity, and cultural expectations, exposing the tension between societal appearances and personal truth. What emerges is a quietly radical portrait of emotional awakening: a woman dismantling the carefully constructed life she was told to want, and a family discovering that the bonds holding them together are far more fragile — and more honest — than they ever imagined.
This June, Film Movement Plus spotlights boundary-pushing stories of queer identity, desire and self-determination, anchored by four acclaimed Pride Month premieres that place LGBTQ+ voices at the forefront of global cinema. From the quietly radical Taiwanese romance WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN (6/5) and Marie Losier’s electrifying portrait of feminist icon in PEACHES GOES BANANAS (6/12), to Ash Mayfair’s lush, dangerous Saigon-set love story SKIN OF YOUTH (6/26) and Wanuri Kaihu’s revelatory RAFIKI (6/19), the month’s lineup explores how personal freedom — sexual, artistic and political — is fought for, claimed and, at times, painfully earned. These films join the platform’s burgeoning catalog of LGBTQ+ films, which includes GLAAD-nominated 20,000 SPECIES OF BEES from Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren, a touching portrait of a young trans child and her family, Bruce LaBruce’s SAINT-NARCISSE, called a “sinfully satisfying cinematic snack” (The Washington Blade), Midi Z’s taut Un Certain Regard-nominee NINA WU, the vibrant documentary ANTONIO LOPEZ 1970: SEX FASHION & DISCO and more.

NARNIA: THE MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW | Releasing in IMAX and in theaters worldwide on February 12, 2027 and on Netflix April 2, 2027
cademy Award–nominated filmmaker Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, an epic adventure, will release in IMAX and wide globally in theaters on February 12, 2027, and on Netflix on April 2, 2027. Sneak previews only in IMAX will begin on February 10, 2027.
A rare phenomenon that spans generations and geographies, Narnia’s release will match the scale and fandom of C. S. Lewis’s beloved books. Audiences will experience a true cinematic event, in IMAX, theaters and on Netflix.
Written for the screen and directed by Gerwig, the origin story for Narnia is the first ever adaptation of C. S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew — which was published May 2, 1955 and celebrates its 71st anniversary tomorrow — and pairs newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell with an all-star cast that includes Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith with Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep, and more. Lewis’ book series captured Gerwig’s imagination from a very young age, and she’s beyond thrilled to bring her singular vision to this beloved world.
“Working with Netflix to bring this film to life has been extraordinary and IMAX continues to be an incredible partner. I cannot wait for people to see the film in theaters on February 12 and on Netflix on April 2,” says Greta Gerwig.
“I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life,” says Gerwig. “I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart. It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being. Because of C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, I believed in magic and hidden worlds and adventure. I believed that anywhere could be enchanted and that anyone could be swept up into an epic. That wonder and awe was available to everyone, even ordinary people like me…It transformed me.”
Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is produced by Mark Gordon, Amy Pascal, Vincent Sieber-Smith, and Gerwig, and executive produced by Patricia Whitcher and Douglas Gresham and Melvin Adams for the C. S. Lewis Estate. The film is co-produced by Christine Crais.
“It’s incredibly moving to see how deeply Greta Gerwig has embraced C. S. Lewis’s world, and infused Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew with joy, heart, and genuine love for the story,” says the C. S. Lewis Company. “We’re so excited for audiences everywhere to experience her vision — and to share the magic of Narnia with a whole new generation.”
