Blue Heron

Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight-year-old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family as they attempt to build a new life, only to be destabilised by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of her older brother, Jeremy. Drawing on her own memories, filmmaker Sophy Romvari shapes a deeply personal portrait of childhood, family fractures, and the fragility of recollection.

Blue Heron won the Swatch First Feature Award at the Locarno Film Festival 2025 and the award for Best Canadian Discovery at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025.
