May 27-June 2: New Movies, Big Events, and Family Favourites All Week Long!

If you've ever taken a class on design you have probably learned about Bruce Mau. If not, now's a great chance!

MAU Opens May 27th at the Princess Original

Mau is the first-ever, feature-length documentary about the design visionary Bruce Mau. The film explores the untold story of his unlikely rise in the creative world, and ever-optimistic push to expand the boundaries of design. The film tells the story of his incredible career - from Mecca to MOMA, from Guatemala to Coca Cola - and his most important project yet: his own life.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is the most fun you'll have at the cinema all year!
