All screenings @ Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, 9828 - 101A Ave
William Beard, Director of Film Studies at the University of Alberta, will be giving a series of lectures on Guy Maddin. Metro Cinema is pleased to bring Prof Beard in to the cinema to talk about Maddin, and screen selections from his films. A screening of Archangel will follow Beard's talk. Archangel, Guy Maddin's weird, wild melodrama of obsessive love is set in the northernmost tip of old Imperial Russia in the winter of 1919. The Great War has been over for three months, but no one has remembered to tell those who remain in the town of Archangel. Maddin's stunning black and white cinematography and memorably stylized set design make this a film quite unlike any other.
Part of our Guy Maddin Retrospective.
- Mar 17 (2007) @ 7pm
This screening is part of the larger thematic series:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
