Thrilling Erotic-Drama Maya and Samar throws some plot twists you’ll never see coming! This Canadian-Greek Co-production filmed is directed by Anita Doron, and written by Tamara Faith Berger.

The Film centers on Maya (Nicolette Pearse), a Toronto journalist, who travels to Greece to visit her friend Rebecca (Breanna Coates). She falls in love with a mysterious Afghan woman named Samar (Amanda Babaei Vieira), who has fled from the Taliban. Maya finds a compelling story in Samar, which could propel her career as a journalist, but this also could endanger the woman she loves.

Fantastic performances in this destabilizing film, which will have you looking-inward and thinking after it ends. The Film thoughtfully exposes these women’s vast cultural differences, the deeper they fall in love, with Samar being subject to some detrimental impacts not only to herself, but her family should it be uncovered that she is a sex worker, and also gay.

The Premiere for MAYA & SAMAR took place at Cineplex Varsity and VIP with Cast and Creators in attendance.

Highlights from the night, including Q&A moderated by Teri Hart.

ABOUT TOM CLANCY’S JACK RYAN: GHOST WAR

In this new film, Jack Ryan is reluctantly thrust back into the world of espionage when an international covert mission unravels a deadly conspiracy, forcing him to confront a rogue black-ops unit, and the clock is ticking. Operating in real time with lives on the line and the threat escalating at every turn, Jack reunites with battle-tested CIA operative Mike November (Michael Kelly) and former CIA boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce), their combined experience the only edge they have against an enemy who knows their every move. Backed by an unlikely new partner – razor-sharp MI6 officer Emma Marlowe (Sienna Miller) – Jack and the team navigate a treacherous web of betrayal, facing a past they thought was long put to rest – making this the most personal, high-stakes mission any of them have ever faced.

There’s even MORE to love about Cirque du Soleil’s smash hit, LUZIA! Ahead of its highly anticipated return to Toronto in over a decade, show dates have just been extended from June 18 though to the end of summer until August 30, under the Big Top at 2150 Lake Shore Blvd. W. While the countdown is officially on (with only three months to opening night in Toronto) – the wait to see LUZIA, as you’ve never seen it before, has arrived! The series premiere of the CBC original documentary Cirque Life is set to air this Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 8 p.m. on CBC and CBC Gem. Produced by Cineflix, Cirque Life pulls back the curtain on Cirque du Soleil and reveals an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at one of their most celebrated shows, LUZIA.

The five-part series follows the cast and crew of LUZIA as they return home to Montréal for an unforgettable summer under the Big Top. Amid roaring crowds and soaring expectations, cameras capture every triumph and challenge as performers and crew tackle up to 10 shows a week during an epic four-month run. With no margin for error, they continuously refine their artistry while juggling dazzling acrobatics, life in the spotlight, and the relentless pace of touring.

Each one-hour episode invites viewers to the joys, pressures, challenges, sacrifices, and human experiences behind the applause. In the first episode, the troupe reunites in Montréal in the electric lead-up to its Montreal premiere. It’s all-hands-on-deck as the entire cast and crew channels its energy into one goal: delivering a flawless premiere, but a medical emergency thrusts the clown understudy into the starring role, while the ‘most flexible man in the world’ gears up to set a Guinness World Record. Cirque Life brings viewers inside all the action, showcasing the exceptional talent, commitment, and courage it takes to be part of the team.

LUZIA is the 38th Big Top production of Cirque du Soleil, a delightful and visually stunning creation that invites audiences to escape to an imaginary Mexico. In a surreal world suspended between dreams and reality – LUZIA seamlessly weaves tradition and modernity in a series of grand surprises, breathtaking scenes, and jaw-dropping acrobatics. Hailed by critics the world over, the show literally makes a splash in every city it tours, using more than 10,000 litres of water throughout each performance – making it an unforgettable multisensory journey to be experienced in-person.

LUZIA will be presented in Toronto, ON, from June 18 – August 30, 2026, at 2150 Lake Shore Blvd. W. Tickets are available now at www.cirquedusoleil.com/luzia.

Cirque du Soleil’s most renowned contortionist and “world’s mort flexible person” Aleksei Goloborodko’s act in LUZIA is so intense that he has made 74 audience members faint during his performances to-date.

LUZIA is brought to you by Sun Life, presenting partner of the Canadian tour. Cirque du Soleil also extends its thanks to its official partners: Epson, Lexus, Mastercard, PATH Water and SAP.
