Cinematographer Jared Raab will be in attendance at the September 20 screening.

Officially adding “THE MOVIE” to the NIRVANNA: THE BAND – THE SHOW string of titles marks a momentous occasion for fans of this cult comedy directed by Matt Johnson (OPERATION AVALANCHE, CIFF 2016; BLACKBERRY). Winning both the Midnighter Audience Award at SXSW 2025 and the hearts of fans who had waited many years for another highly Torontonian, yet universally resonant, adventure, this uniquely Canadian time travel mockumentary celebrates friendship and the creators’ love for the movies and shows that shaped them.

When their plan to book a show at the Rivoli goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008, a better moment in history where Orbitz were abundant, and friendships were intact.
