Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight-year-old Sasha as her Hungarian family begins life anew in an unfamiliar home. What first appears to be a hopeful transition unfurls to reveal an older brother with increasingly volatile behaviour, casting tension over daily life. Through Sasha’s quiet observations, unspoken fears and strained relationships come into focus. Elegantly shot and structurally assured, Romvari draws from her own experiences to craft a sensitive and atmospheric drama. Through an articulate examination of childhood perception, emotional estrangement and the difficulty of understanding those closest to us, Blue Heron presents a poignant reflection on family bonds and instability, and the fragile nature of memory.

“Guaranteed to be one of the best films you’ll see this year” - our manager, Neil.
