SUMMARY:'Hold Onto Me' East Coast premiere
DESCRIPTION:It’s summer\, and 11-year-old Iris is running wild through the streets with her older friend Danae when she learns her estranged father\, Aris (“Dogtooth” star Christos Passalis)\, is back in town for his own father’s funeral. Determined to know him\, Iris tracks him down to a dilapidated shipyard\, where he’s been keeping to himself. What begins as a stubborn attempt to reconnect slowly unfolds into a fragile bond. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. \n“Hold Onto Me” will screen as part of Belmont World Film’s 24th International Film Series\, “Thicker than water\,” exploring the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us—through an intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all their complexity. Across cultures and continents\, these films ask what we inherit\, what we carry\, and what we owe one another. \nThe series unfolds over eight consecutive Mondays at the West Newton Cinema. After a two-week break\, the series returns in June with three additional remarkable films in recognition of World Refugee Awareness Month and Pride Month. \nFor complete details on the films in this series\, visit our web site. \n

SUMMARY:'Six Days In Spring' North American premiere
DESCRIPTION:A single mother—who is determined to give her twin boys a spring vacation after her original plans collapse—trespasses at her former in-laws’ luxury villa on the Riviera\, a place she once called home. Joined by the twins’ soccer coach\, secretly her boyfriend\, they cautiously savor six sun-drenched days. Directed by Joachim Lafosse (“The White Knights\,” BWF 2015)\, the film simmers with an ever-so-slight tension beneath its radiant setting. \nSpeaker: Haleigh Burgon\, a PhD candidate in French and Francophone Studies at Boston University. Her dissertation investigates how French and Francophone women writers and creators use representations of motherhood and memory to exercise resilience and articulate creative agency. Her research focuses particularly on Francophone literature and film from North Africa and the Caribbean\, with attention to gender\, postcolonial identity\, and narrative voice. \n“Six Days In Spring” will screen as part of Belmont World Film’s 24th International Film Series\, “Thicker than water\,” exploring the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us—through an intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all their complexity.

SUMMARY:'Porte Bagage' North American premiere
DESCRIPTION:A Dutch family of Moroccan descent embarks on a road trip to honor their father’s wish to return to Morocco and spend his final days at his ancestral home. Along the way\, old tensions resurface and loyalties are tested in a closely observed family dramedy about the emotional baggage we all carry as family members—that’s sometimes strapped to the roof of the car. \nSpeaker: Ian VanderMeulen\, a Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University. His research explores intersections among media\, sound\, the senses\, and Islamic thought and practice\, with a particular focus on the Maghrib. \n“Porte Bagage” will screen as part of Belmont World Film’s 24th International Film Series\, “Thicker than water\,” exploring the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us—through an intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all their complexity. Across cultures and continents\, these films ask what we inherit\, what we carry\, and what we owe one another. \nThe series unfolds over eight consecutive Mondays at the West Newton Cinema. After a two-week break\, the series returns in June with three additional remarkable films in recognition of World Refugee Awareness Month and Pride Month. \nPreceded by a closing night reception at Blue Salt Restaurant\, featuring Moroccan cuisine (separate admission required). \nFor complete details on the films in this series\, visit our web site.
