Pass the Popcorn, Two Powerhouse Films at Film Streams

January 8th, 2026

On this edition of Arts Today’s Pass the Popcorn, the focus is on two powerhouse films coming to Film Streams.

These are movies defined by strong storytelling, memorable performances, and themes that stay with you after the screen goes dark. Whether they explore personal struggles, social questions, or dramatic turning points, both films invite audiences to slow down, pay attention, and engage more deeply with what they are watching.

Pass the Popcorn highlights films that are worth the time and attention of viewers who are looking for something meaningful, moving, or thought provoking. This week’s selections at Film Streams reflect that spirit, offering cinema that is designed not just to entertain, but to resonate.

If you are planning a visit to Film Streams, this pair of films offers a chance to experience cinema at its most powerful and memorable.
