‘Bikini Drive-In: The Thing’   Dir. John Carpenter    1982, USA 109 min    Rated R
In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing creature wreaks havoc, creates terror… and becomes one of them.

Bikini Drive-In is a semi-monthly screening series examining horror films through a feminist lens curated by our Programming Coordinator Olivia Norquay and Distribution Director Jillian Groening.

It’s NOLA NIGHT featuring the Dirty Catfish Brass Band, 2021 WINNIPEG NIGHTLIFE AWARDS - ENTERTAINERS OF THE YEAR

Dirty Catfish Brass Band deals in powerful phrasing and performances drenched with rhythm. Invoking the sounds of brass bands and funk ensembles, the collective dares to reimagine the streets of a prairie city as one that is hot, alive, and brimming with soul. Based in Winnipeg, the crew strives to surprise, challenge, tickle and pay homage to the New Orleans tradition by giving it a new audience in an unsuspecting locale. From street corners to festival stages, and community celebrations to sporting events, DCBB use the power of music to bring joy to their audience.

Book Launches

McNally Robinson Booksellers Atrium, 1120 Grant Avenue, Wpg, MB R3M 2A6

Jan 16, 7 - 8 pm   https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/.../scott.../man-on-a-wheel
Join Scott Nolan for an evening of music and fun to celebrate the launch of ‘Man on a Wheel’. Scott will be accompanied by Cory Wolchuk on the piano.  
Available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/6x-AS6YbRk8

Scott Nolan pays homage to the poet Patrick O'Connell, who influenced him early in his musical career. By splicing O'Connell's lines together in new ways, Nolan takes the words to new places. Nolan is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and poet from Winnipeg. His debut poetry collection, ‘Moon Was a Feather’, was a finalist for the Eileen McTavish Sykes Award for Best First Book.

The CD includes eight original songs and a bonus track of Patrick O'Connell reading "Boz and Molly (A Romance)." The accompanying book of lyrics is illustrated with Nolan's visual art.

Award-winning Winnipeg poet Catherine Hunter's introduction explores the connections forged between these two artists and provides insight into their work.

Jan 18, 7 - 8 pm

Join co-editors Bill Richardson and Neil Besner, host Catherine Hunter, and Winnipeg actor Mariam Bernstein for the Winnipeg launch of ‘Montreal Standard Time: The Early Journalism of Mavis Gallant’.  https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/.../montreal-standard-time

Selected as one of the Globe and Mail’s top 100 books of 2024, the book features 38 of the roughly 150 pieces of journalism Gallant wrote as a young reporter for The Montreal Standard between 1944 and 1950, before leaving for Europe and establishing herself as one of the twentieth century’s finest writers of short fiction. Gallant’s early journalism with the Standard has never been in print since 1950; it’s now becoming increasingly clear how her early apprenticeship at the Standard anticipated her long and celebrated career as a writer of short stories.

With an Afterword by Marta Dvor᷇ák, this new collection opens a new window onto Gallant’s fictional practice and perspective. Mariam Bernstein will read one of the selections; Neil Besner and Bill Richardson will follow the reading with a conversation moderated by Catherine Hunter about Gallant, her journalism, and her wide influence on English-language writing.

Explore the magic of architecture through play! Visit ‘Building Toys’, the new Winnipeg Architecture exhibit at the Millennium Library.
Discover how toys shape design and imagination – there is something to spark joy for all ages! www.winnipegarchitecture.ca/events

Curated by James Wagner and Daniel Guenther
Building toys are not just for fun, although they undoubtedly are. Building toys are also formative for those who play with them. Architecture is the most encompassing of all the visual arts. We live, work, and play in buildings, most of which are designed by architects. Many of our notable architects and designers have been influenced by educational building toys they played with as children, whether they were Lincoln Logs, LEGO, skyscraper kits, Meccano, or wooden blocks. How have these toys influenced your view of architecture and cities?

 Please Help Our Food Banks

During these times there has been a growing need for help from our food banks, especially by parents of young children.
Please remember your fellow Winnipeggers during these difficult times. The best thing you could donate is money so that the food banks can buy what is truly needed at a fraction of the cost. Call your local Food Banks to learn what the can accept and what they need.

Many local organizations and sporting events have set up bins to collect donations to help others.

Don’t know what to buy?
This list of ideas and comments has been shared on social media:

1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They rarely use it because it calls for milk and butter. (It can be prepared with the pasta cooking water).
2. Boxed milk which does not require refrigeration is a treasure, as kids need it.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. Canned veggies and soup, especially with pop tops, are necessities.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They enjoy fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are good in Spring and Summer because gardening can be done by some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing and Hamburger Helper.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but need sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are necessities.
20. Canned ham and corned beef are great for protein. Both have keys to open.

John D. Atchison Architect: An Illustrated Talk

Join researcher and writer Gail Perry for an illustrated lecture about the prolific and accomplished architect John D. Atchison. Trained in Chicago, Atchison later worked with “the father of the American skyscraper”, William Le Baron Jenney. After working in Chicago for 11 years (including on the 1893 Columbian World Exposition) he moved to Winnipeg 1905.

In under twenty years, John D. Atchison shaped the backdrop of Winnipeg, designing over 160 buildings (some 60 of them still in use) and advocated for its green and monumental spaces. He was a proponent of the City Beautiful Movement, a member of several civic planning committees and an advocate for the mall approach to the Legislative Building.

John D. Atchison designed 177 Lombard. Gail Perry’s exhibit, “177 Lombard Avenue”, will be on display and we encourage folks to arrive early to view the display.

They are also known as fading ads or brick ads and were prevalent from the 1890s through to the 1960s. As outdoor advertising mediums evolved, ghost signs became less popular and were replaced by billboards and vinyl banners.

Tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-memoirs-of-miss-chief-eagle-testickle-kent-monkman-and-gisele-gordon-tickets-738170918087

by McNally Robinson Booksellers in association with McClelland & Stewart. This event will NOT be streamed on our YouTube channel. Signed books will be available at the door.

The two volumes follows Miss Chief as she moves through time, from a complex lived experience of Cree cosmology, to the arrival of European settlers, to the colonial violence and tragedies of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Blending history, fiction, and memoir, this is a deeply Cree and gloriously queer revisioning of our shared history.

Join celebrated Cree artist Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisèle Gordon as they discuss their new work "The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island", a genre-defying work based on the paintings of one the most important painters working today that will remake readers' understanding of the land called North America. A story of this continent that reframes the narrative to be one of Indigenous resilience, reshaping our shared understanding and lighting the path ahead.

After a reading with Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, Monkman and Gordon join host Niigaan Sinclair for a conversation.

Monkman’s artworks are held in the public collections of institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Denver Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Canada. For decades his paintings have featured a recurring character: his gender-fluid alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, a time-traveling, shape-shifting, supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze.

Gisèle Gordon is a settler media artist and writer based in Dish With One Spoon Territory (Toronto, Canada). Her solo work includes the feature-length documentary, "The Tunguska Project" (Best Feature Length Film at the Planet in Focus Film Festival, 2005), and the video installations "Crosscurrent" (2013 Moscow Biennale) and "The Land that Dreams".

Rally for Subsidized Housing by Right to Housing Coalition

Lack of subsidized housing is a crisis in Manitoba. There are approximately 4,600 households on the wait list for a Manitoba Housing unit. Waiting on the list can last years. With nowhere else to go, many people end up staying with friends or family, in shelters, or outside.
National Housing Day lines up with the appointment of our new premier, Heather Stefanson. As the new leadership sets its priorities, let’s make sure subsidized housing is on the agenda.

We call on Premier Stefanson to prioritize building 300 new subsidized housing units as soon as possible.
Please bring signs showing your support for subsidized housing.
We will be following all Covid-19 protocols. Please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

Christmas in Iceland: Online Walking Tour of Reykjavik

Event by Your Friend in Reykjavik
https://www.facebook.com/yourfriendinreykjavik/

Join Your Friend in Reykjavik, Valur for an online walking tour of downtown Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.
We are going to be walking through Christmas lit and festive streets, exploring the Christmas traditions of Iceland.

Discover the 13 Santas of Iceland, their mother the Troll Grýla that eats naughty children, and finally the ferocious Christmas Cat.
This is a family-friendly tour bringing Icelandic Christmas traditions straight to your home, brought to life with exciting stories and Icelandic folklore.

We will also enjoy the delicious food and drinks that Iceland considers Christmassy. We have a big tradition of Christmas beers and of course, we will check some out along the way.

Valur (you can call him Falcon) will also share hidden, local spots with you like a visit to a genuine Elf home and other local gems – things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for.
Attendance is free, but if you enjoy the experience, please consider tipping paypal.me/yfiriceland

This is a FREE event, just click Going or Interested on the Facebook Event hosted by Your Friend In Reykjavik and Facebook will let you know when we are LIVE.
