MUBI, the global film distributor, streaming service, and production company, has released the official trailer for Sound of Falling, the critically lauded second feature film from writer and director Mascha Schilinski. The film will be released in cinemas across Canada on January 16, 2026, following a prize-laden year in competition on the festival circuit, headlined by a Cannes Jury Prize win after receiving its World premiere there in May. Sound of Falling had its Canadian premiere at Toronto International Film Festival and has also screened at New York Film Festival and the BFI London Film. The film also won the Silver Frog award at this year’s Camerimage.

Four girls, Alma (1910s), Erika (1940s), Angelika (1980s), and Lenka (2020s) each spend their youth on the same farm in northern Germany. As the home evolves over a century, echoes of the past linger in its walls. Though separated by time, their lives begin to mirror each other, revealing shared secrets that have been kept hidden.

Sound of Falling’s revelatory ensemble cast features Hanna Heckt (Stille Nacht, raue Nacht) Lea Drinda (Danke für nichts), Lena Urzendowsky (Cocoon), Laeni Geiseler (Smalltown Girl), Susanne Wuest (Inedia) and Luise Heyer (The Sparrow in the Chimney).

SOUND OF FALLING WILL BE RELEASED IN CINEMAS IN CANADA ON JANUARY 16, 2026

-91% learned actionable ways to reduce their environmental impact

-82% have already implemented changes in their daily habits, or plan to do so soon

-89% shared what they learned with friends, family, colleagues, or students

-97% said they’re likely to uphold these habits for at least six months

Horse racing is brought to life by the people whose passion, dedication, and love for horses shape every moment on and off the track. As part of Woodbine Cares: For the Love of the Horse Racing Community, Woodbine Entertainment has launched Beyond the Track, a video series that highlights the individuals and programs that form the heart of Woodbine’s racing community. Throughout the 2025 season, the series has taken fans behind the scenes to share authentic stories of the people who make racing meaningful.

The newest episode spotlights track announcer Robert Geller, who has been the voice of Woodbine since 2015. Born in England and raised in Australia, Geller reflects on the privilege and responsibility of calling races, sharing insights into the craft and the spontaneity that brings each moment to life.

“So much of being able to bring the race call to life is being connected to the experience, and that connection doesn’t always happen instantly. It’s the thrill of the race that allows you to sort of discover something,” Geller explains. “I remember the Alywow stakes years ago as they went to the wire, I said the horse put the ‘wow’ in the Alywow. I didn’t even know what I was saying and I was so happy with that.”

Watch Robert Geller’s episode on YouTube here.

Earlier installments of Beyond the Track highlight the everyday experiences and extraordinary commitment of the people who form the backbone of Woodbine.

The first episode features groom Alexa Wisnoski, offering a heartfelt look at life on the backstretch and the passion that led her to pursue a career working hands-on with horses.

“This has to be in my blood. I’ve wanted to do this since I was a kid,” Wisnoski says. “I am very lucky that I get to say I get to work with horses all day and that it’s my job.”

Watch Groom Alexa Wisnoski’s episode on YouTube here.

The second episode explores the Woodbine Cares Community Garden, a 20,000-square-foot vegetable garden adjacent to the racetrack. Woodbine’s Manager of Stabling, Tamera Dadswell, shares the impact of providing fresh, weekly produce to the backstretch community.

“[Our backstretch community] has so much passion and love for the horses,” Dadswell explains. “So because they work so hard, it’s just a little piece that hopefully we can give back to them to say ‘thank you for what you do.’”

Watch the Community Garden episode on YouTube here.

In the third episode, Woodbine CEO Michael Copeland visits the Hillsburgh, Ontario farm of the LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society, where chair and co-founder Vicki Pappas discusses the organization’s dedication to providing former racehorses with loving homes and second careers.

“To see [the horses] here after having given so much to racing, and for us to be able to give a little bit back to them is a wonderful opportunity,” Copeland shares.

Watch the LongRun episode on YouTube here.

Grounded in the values of Woodbine Cares: For the Love of the Horse Racing Community, the Beyond the Track series celebrates the people and programs that enrich the racing community and offers fans a deeper appreciation of the passion, care, and purpose that extend far beyond the Woodbine finish line.

Additional episodes will be released in the new year.

Today, Prime Video released a first Teaser for Young Sherlock, starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After Series) as Sherlock Holmes.

-Naveen Paddock (Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, Anything’s Possible) plays “Eliot” – Handsome and charming with an air of New York sophistication, Eliot is Uncle Richard’s new intern whose arrival in Silver Falls leaves Jackie in a tug-of-war between her old life and new one.

-Erin Karpluk (Being Erica, Smoke) plays “Hannah”- George’s nomadic sister and mother of Isaac and Lee, Hannah is a free spirit or irresponsible as hell (take your pick). She previously left her sons to live with the Walters and then split for reasons unknown, but when she suddenly shows up at the front door a thousand days later, she has a lot of bridges to rebuild.

Season 3 of the series, which recently wrapped production in Calgary, Canada, will debut on Netflix in 2026

The new cast members will join the previously-announced returning cast:
Series Regulars: Nikki Rodriguez, Sarah Rafferty, Marc Blucas, Noah LaLonde, Ashby Gentry, Connor Stanhope, Jaylan Evans

Season 2 of the teen drama spent 5 weeks in Netflix’s Global English Top 10 TV List and reached the Top 10 in 85 countries.

Season 2 Synopsis: After leaving Silver Falls following Alex’s love confession and her kiss with Cole, Jackie Howard spent the summer in New York City. When Katherine convinces her to return to Colorado, Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in isn’t that easy. Alex – who changed a lot over the summer – isn’t too thrilled about Jackie’s attempts to reconnect, as he’s focused on training for a risky rodeo event (and enjoying all of the new attention he’s getting). Meanwhile, Cole takes on a new role at school, but when that doesn’t quite fill the void left by not playing football, his old ways creep back in and cause drama. As Jackie gains acceptance in Silver Falls while trying to hold onto her Howard identity, she’s forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she’s worked to rebuild.

Showrunner / Executive Producer: Melanie Halsall

Executive Producers: Ed Glauser, Becky Hartman Edwards

Produced by: Sony Pictures Television, International Production and iGeneration Studios (THE KISSING BOOTH trilogy of films)

Based on the Novel: My Life with the Walter Boys by Ali Novak

Hong Shing Restaurant, Project Umami, and Chef Wallace Wong (Six Pack Chef) are joining forces to usher in the Year of the Horse with an all-you-can-eat dining experience. Taking place Friday, February 6, 2026, at Hong Shing (195 Dundas Street West, Toronto), this exclusive ticketed event invites guests into a midnight celebration of craftsmanship, culture, and premium seafood.

Founded by longtime seafood suppliers David Lee and Michael Kim, Project Umami is redefining access to high-quality sushi-grade seafood in Canada. Guests will have the rare chance to explore a wide range of their premium products (including Bluefin Tuna, Salmon, Sea Bass, and Scallop) and experience firsthand the difference in freshness, texture, and purity when fish comes directly from a wholesaler rather than the retailer or grocer level. It’s a true “ocean-to-mouth” tasting experience that most diners never get to encounter.

Event Details:

• Event: All-You-Can-Eat Sashimi Party (Lunar New Year)
• Date: Friday, February 6, 2026
• Time: 11:00 PM start
• Location: Hong Shing Restaurant (195 Dundas Street West, Toronto)
• Price: $78 per person
• What to Expect:
  • All-you-can-eat seafood by Project Umami (salmon, bluefin tuna, ebi, and more)
  • Passed canapés including fried rice and noodles
  • Baijiu flowing throughout the night (cash bar available; baijiu not included in AYCE price)
  • DJ sets by BABYT, RYLA, and JEFFY

The evening will transition into a lively after-party with a guest DJ, Lunar New Year festivities, and a celebration of craftsmanship and community. With limited capacity and a midnight-to-3AM energy, it’s set to be one of Toronto’s most unique ways to celebrate the Year of the Horse.

This is one of the most unique ways to celebrate the Year of the Horse — combining late-night energy, a rare tuna-cutting showcase by Project Umami, and sashimi carved by Chef Wallace Wong, a 15-time Guinness World Record holder known for his speed and precision.
