Welcome, VP newsletter and website readers, to 2026! I hope that you’ve all had a wonderful holiday season, and that you’ve come into the new year as invigorated as we are for the 2026 season. 

Moving into the new year, we are often encouraged to share new years resolutions—goals we hope to achieve, old habits we wish to break. I'll be honest, though, it’s been a toughie for me in the past to come up with long-term achievable goals to reach in the course of a year...

I remember back in high school one of my favourite teachers (shout-out to Mr. G) told us to ditch the idea of new years resolutions completely. He instead encouraged us to consider new years revolutions. Since being introduced to this idea over a decade ago, I have thought about it year after year. What does a revolution in a year look like? Is it a cycle, a return, or a riot, a complete dismantling? How can we be better members of the villages we occupy?

To celebrate the new year I’ve curated group of rowdy films that challenge systems and inspire positive change, each with a unique sense of humour, bravery, and compassion.

I hope these films inspire you, as they have inspired me, and that you have a very lovely 2026!
