Movie Night

What: Vinylmania and The Cygnets
When: Thursday, April 19th
Movie starts at 7pm, band starts around 10pm
Where: Dickens Pub (1000 9th Street SW)
Why: First 20 people get a CJSW limited edition vinyl

A trip into the grooves, Vinylmania is a 75 minute feature length documentary about an object that has never lost its soul: the vinyl record. An epic love story, the film is filled with fascinating characters and internationally recognized artists including PHILIPPE COHEN SOLAL (Gotan Project), WINSTON SMITH (Dead Kennedys, Green Day record sleeve artist), PETER SAVILLE (Joy Division, New Order record sleeve artist) and DJ KENTARO (2002 DMC World DJ Champion).

Devotion, ecstasy, infatuation, agony – all feelings that the director of the film, Paolo Campana, has experienced from childhood and shares with like-minded record collectors, Djs, musicians and artists (the said vinylmaniacs) in the documentary. Set in 11 different cities and 7 countries worldwide, the director sets out on a global road trip to find out what role vinyl records play in the 21st century.

Stick around for the phenomenal Cygnets band from Edmonton. They’re bringing their infectious synth-pop dance music down to the pub.
