Blue Heron

Winner of this year’s TIFF Best Canadian Discovery Award, Sophy Romvari’s universally acclaimed feature-length film debut is a powerful and emotionally moving reflection on family, our past, and how our memories shape our lives moving forward.

In the late 1990s, a family of six settles into their new home on Vancouver Island, as internal dynamics are slowly revealed through the experiences of the youngest child, Sasha. Their fresh start is interrupted by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of Jeremy, the family’s oldest child.

The film was included in the Toronto International Film Festival’s annual year-end Canada’s Top Ten list for 2025 and has received numerous other awards.
