Monster
Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda    2023, 125 min    Japanese with English subtitles

When her young son Minato starts to behave strangely, his mother feels that there is something wrong. Discovering that a teacher is responsible, she storms into the school demanding to know what’s going on. But as the story unfolds through the eyes of mother, teacher and child, the truth gradually emerges.
“Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest, scored by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, is a dense, shape-shifting drama that grows more scattered as it progresses.” – Little White Lies

Meule is made of modular synths, a guitar, two drums by three musicians crossed at the bend of other Touraine bands (Thé Vanille, C4DILL4C, Lehmanns Brothers). Their music is carried by repetitive and saturated grooves a la CAN, sequencers and electronic atmospheres reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and the German kraut softs bands of the 70s.

Rayannah is a Franco-Manitoban artist, producer, beat-maker and artistic director based in Winnipeg. She unveiled her first full length studio album Nos repaires (Our Haunts) in March of 2019. She went on to be named “Francophone Artist of the Year” and “Producer of the Year” at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2019. She has toured across Canada, Europe and Latin-America and opened for international acts including Esperanza Spalding and Cœur de Pirate.
As a producer, Rayannah has worked on a variety of projects including studio albums and sound design for theatre and film. In 2021 she stepped into the role of artistic director with her immersive multi-disciplinary project Afterglow which saw artists from different disciplines collaborate on an innovative virtual performance. She went on to found and spearhead HYPERART - a Winnipeg-based multidisciplinary festival featuring collaborative performances and installations.

Learn about the essential features of Procreate, the digital drawing app (for iPad only) that has become indispensable for many since its launch in 2011. This workshop will take you through the basics of this versatile and user-friendly drawing tool: how to create a canvas; all about brushes (line weight, opacity, texture, customization); blending; layering; undos and redos; adding text; making adjustments; sharing your work... and much more!
The afternoon will consist of a series of live demonstrations followed by some hands-on activities. Please bring along an iPad and stylus pen, with Procreate installed and ready to use.

Cato Cormier is a self-taught illustrator and cartoonist. They draw strange humanoids, regular folks and the bits and bobs that make up their worlds. Much of their work explores the joy and absurdity of having a body. It is at times surreal, often cheeky and always earnest.

Cribbage returns to the Heather Curling Club!
My name is Lyndon, I've lived in Winnipeg for the past 20 years. I've been playing cribbage off and on probably since I was 10. I joined a cribbage group in early 2019, really enjoyed play with the group. It was on Wilton. However, my work schedule changed since that year and late 2021 and early 2022, my dream was to host my own cribbage nights.
So, I started buying cribbage boards and cards and now have a great stock for large groups. We are still a small group, but I could host up to 80 players.
Winnipeg Free Press had a story on the cribbage nights in the November 10th paper. The online version is updated with photos of myself.

We play in an area of the club’s fully licensed restaurant. They have some good selections on their menu. Feel free to come before and have a bite to eat. You can bring your own water.

We play in partners, where winners move to the next table and switch with one that didn’t win. You don’t need to bring a partner either, come solo and you'll join a table. This is just a fun night to meet people.

Dave Barber Cinematheque and Gimme Some Truth Documentary Festival
Artist/Curator: Daniel Barrow      2023, Canada, 113 min

Daniel Barrow’s recently completed 2023 iteration of the hybrid curatorial/archival/expanded cinema project Winnipeg Babysitter, examining Winnipeg’s unique history of public access television, premiered last October at the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Since 2006 Barrow has been presenting excerpts from this independent archive in a series of international presentations. Barrow has continued researching, collecting footage and has become a touchstone of sorts for community access creators who want their work archived, remembered and reexamined as media artworks.

In the late 70s and throughout the 80s, Winnipeg experienced a golden age of public access television. Anyone with a creative dream, concept or politic would be endowed with airtime and professional production services. Winnipeg Babysitter traces unique vignettes from a brief synapse in broadcasting history when Winnipeg cable companies were mandated to provide public access as a condition of their license.

When SHAW Cable purchased Winnipeg’s local cable station VPW, rumour circulated that they had destroyed the public access television archives and were systematically dismantling the public access services. Shortly thereafter, artist Daniel Barrow began researching, compiling and archiving a history of independently produced television in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Programs could only be found in the VHS collections of the original producers, television collectors, fans and enthusiasts. This is an archival project that restores a previously lost history.

Daniel Barrow performs an overhead projected commentary, tracing the histories of public access television in Manitoba, and describing the various biographies of each television producer and personality. Blu-ray will be available for the first time at the screening.

Guilt and decolonization: navigating emotions in the pursuit of action
How do you feel after visiting a museum that shares important and sometimes difficult stories? How do you channel those emotions into positive actions? Take part in a workshop and research project on how to navigate these emotional responses.
Sierra McKinney, a Ph.D. student from the University of Montréal in the Department of Anthropology, will be leading the workshop and providing a toolkit.

Artspace, 100 Arthur Street

Join us for an architectural tour of the Gault Building (Artspace), including a visit to the roof. Access to the roof requires the ability to climb stairs. There is a lift to the lobby.

The Gault Building is a good example of a Richardsonian Romanesque-style warehouse. The substantial masonry structure, designed by George Browne to accommodate the western expansion of Montreal dry goods wholesaler A.F. Gault and Co., was among the first large warehouses built in response to Winnipeg's rise as a regional distribution centre. Increased business due to an immigration boom soon prompted the firm to expand its premises upward by two floors and to the south with a six-storey annex.

The Art of Recovery   2015, New Zealand, Director, Peter Young   85 minutes

After a massive earthquake shakes Christchurch city to its foundations, amid the ruins and continuing aftershocks a vibrant community-led movement emerges, transforming the urban wasteland of the central city into a giant canvas for people to express their responses to the earthquakes and their hopes for the city.

Downtown has become a frontier of creativity where new ideas flourish. From simple acts of kindness to large-scale works of art, each is a gift to a recovering city. Projects like Gap Filler’s Dance-O-mat and Pallet Pavilion, the profusion of street art and Peter Majendie’s 185 Empty Chairs Memorial have become iconic symbols of the grassroots urban movement and provide sharp contrast to central Government’s big business, corporate driven approach to the rebuild of the city. Soon, a new city will arise, but whose city will it be?

September 22, 7 pm

Cinematheque, 100 Arthur Street

Architecture+Film series: The Integral Man   Director: Joseph Clement  2016, Canada,

He decided against Frank Gehry, considered Rem Koolhaas and ultimately chose two young architects (Shim-Sutcliffe Architects) that would come to change contemporary architecture. 

Jim Stewart is the most published mathematician since Euclid, a concert level violinist, calculus professor, philanthropist, and gay rights activist. It took almost ten years to realize his dream, Integral House, which was completed in 2009. Designed around a stunning internal concert hall, it was hailed as a masterpiece by some of the greatest architecture and design critics in the world. Integral House, like Jim, was unlike anything else. Now confronting his inability to play violin as arthritis cripples his hands, Jim boldly faces his declining health, jumping head long into the role of impresario. As unexpected events unfold, Jim is left to make some of the most difficult decisions of his life.

Winnipeg Cinemathequ, eMain Floor - 100 Arthur Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3B 1H3

Director: Matt Tyrnauer, 2016, USA, 92 min

Citizen Jane: Battle for the City is a story about America’s recent urban past, in which bureaucratic, “top down” approaches to building cities have dramatically clashed with grassroots, “bottom up” approaches. The film brings us back mid-century, on the eve of the battles for the heart and soul of American cities, about to be routed by destructive Urban Renewal and highway projects.

The film details the revolutionary thinking of Jane Jacobs, and the origins of her magisterial 1961 treatise The Death and Life of Great American Cities, in which she undercuts her era’s orthodox model of city planning, exemplified by the massive Urban Renewal projects of New York’s “Master Builder,” Robert Moses.
