Bounce
Director: Elizabeth Hicks; Runtime: 11 minutes
Darcy is a fifteen-year-old mix of energy, perfectionism, and insecurity. When an ultra-cute boy from her cadet corps insists that she attend that night’s Trampoline Social, Darcy raids her sister’s drawers and sets o? for a dramatic evening of self-acceptance and sweet backflips.
FRAMED: Spirit Song Festival
Director: Framed Documentary Crew; Runtime: 15 minutes
Nearly a decade ago, the Spirit Song Festival began as a one-day event. It has since blossomed into a weeklong, award winning, world-class gathering of Indigenous artists with audience members in the thousands.
Through the lens of an Indigenous-led SJIWFF Framed Documentary program, and in partnership with First Light, this short documentary charts the rise of the festival through performances by, and interviews with, Indigenous icons and artists from across Canada.
Esther & Sai
Directors: Rosie Choo Pidcock, Anaïsa Visser; Runtime: 13 minutes
Esther and Sai are strangers with a few things in common: they are new immigrant students, they are homesick and they are hungry. When a racially charged interaction with a grocer goes awry, each finds themselves back in their dorm room with the only meal they could find: a box of macaroni and cheese. A night of loneliness and self doubt threatens to unravel each of them, but ultimately meeting a kindred spirit sparks the possibility of belonging. Based on a true story, Esther & Sai captures the struggle of immigrating to a new country through the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
Vegas
Director: Anna Wheeler; Runtime: 11 minutes
A disillusioned artist- turned taxi driver picks up an unassuming stranger and things take a dramatic turn when it is revealed not everything is as it appears. Vegas is a coming of age dramedy, wraped inside a neon-noir urban mystery.
In partnership with the St. John's Women's International Film Festival.
Today's Events & Programs
In celebration of International Women’s Day this year, The Rooms is bringing back our “Beyond the Trenches” tour on March 7th and March 8th.
Visitors will be brought through our level 2 Royal Newfoundland Regiment Gallery and learn about the contributions made by Newfoundland women at home and overseas during the First World War. Not only were these contributions vital to the war effort but became an integral part of women in Newfoundland winning the right to vote in 1925 – an event which celebrated its 100th anniversary in April of 2025. Join us and hear about their stories, experiences, and the various roles they played as the war carried out from 1914 to 1918.
This tour is approximately 40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
Join us for a delightful morning at The Rooms! Bring your little ones to our enchanting Harbour View Room for unguided playtime surrounded by an array of toys and books tailored for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 4.
