Artslink – Episode June 24, 2024

Program: Artslink

Length: 30 minutes

For the June episode, I'm covering some live theatre, and not one, but TWO 'secret cinema' events! -You won't know what the films are going to be until they begin, and that's a beautiful thing..

First up is Hans Wackershauser and Megan Baldrey of Full Circle Theatre, and 'Riverona'.
Riverona is "The inevitable gritty reboot of the original teen drama Romeo & Juliet". It will be taking place over multiple 'episodes' and evenings, including a binge-watch weekend where all 4 episodes will be performed. -A unique way to do theatre!

Next, Pascal Fortin stops by to tell us about his cult film videostore in Calgary, Rough Cut Video, and their 2nd secret cinema event called 'Freaks Come Out At Night vol.2'.
Taking place at the Globe Cinema on Saturday July 6th, this is a double-feature of obscure flicks that could only be curated by someone who really knows their stuff!

Fimally, I hopped on a zoom call to chat with Kyle Marshall, Programming Director of The Calgary Society Of Independent Filmmakers, about 'Summer Cinema Club'.
Every other Tuesday, the CSIF headquarters will be showing a movie as part of a series celebrating 'The entire history of film'. -For FREE!
Kyle describes the inspiration for the series, the previous screenings, & what to expect of the final 4 instalments.
