Following their debut feature VIOLATION (winner of the RBC Emerging Canadian Artist Award, CIFF 2020), co-directors and writers Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli return with their sophomore feature, HONEY BUNCH. This atmospheric, creative, and darkly entertaining period genre film pays homage to the style of the 1970s. Having had its world premiere at Berlinale, this wildly inventive film is sure to spark conversation long after the credits roll.

After an accident takes Diana's memory (Grace Glowicki, SUCK IT UP, CIFF 2017; STRAWBERRY MANSION, CIFF 2022) and leaves her in crippling pain, her husband Homer (Ben Petrie, BLACKBERRY; HER FRIEND ADAM, CIFF 2016) takes her to an experimental treatment facility that reveals the sinister realities of their marriage.

CIFF audiences can also catch Ben Petrie and Grace Glowicki this year in DEAD LOVER, and Petrie makes a triple festival appearance in NIRVANNA: THE BAND, THE SHOW, THE MOVIE.
