SUMMARY:National Canadian Film Day at the Sunset Theatre
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Canadian Films we will be hosting a day of all Canadian Film Screenings at the Sunset Theatre in Wells along with hundreds of Theatres across Canada for the All You Can Watch Buffet.\nBox Office will open at 11:30AM on April 19th. \nTickets: Pay What You Can\nHere’s our Line Up of Canadian Films for #CanFilmDay \n12PM – Long Time Running (2017)\nA chronicle of The Tragically Hip’s Final 2016 tour.\n \n2PM – Viking (2022)\nThe Viking Society is recruiting volunteers for the first manned mission to Mars. The goal is to form a B-team that will mirror the mission here on Earth in order to find solutions to the interpersonal problems that the Mars-bound crew is experiencing. The film tells the story of David\, a high school gym teacher\, who seizes this opportunity to revive his dream of becoming an astronaut and making a difference. Viking is a little absurd\, falling somewhere between a high-concept comedy and a straight up allegorical tale. It’s a story about the gap between our dreams and reality.\nhttps://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/viking_2022 \n4PM – Scarborough (2022)\nThree children become friends while living in a low-income neighbourhood.\n \n7PM – First We Eat (2020) • Hot Docs\nLiving just south of the Arctic Circle\, filmmaker Suzanne Crocker and her skeptical family attempt to ban all grocery store food for one year.\n \n9PM – I Like Movies (2022)\nSocially inept 17-year-old cinephile\, Lawrence Kweller (Isaiah Lehtinen) gets a job at a video store\, where he forms a complicated friendship with his older female manager.\n \n#CanFilmDay 2023!\nHelp us celebrate Canadian Films on National Canadian Film Day!

SUMMARY:no art to see here: Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 20th\, 2023 – Sunday May 21st\, 2023\nExhibition Opening: April 20th at 7:00 PM \nGallery Hours: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM\nThursday – Sunday\, or by appointment \n“Art fills the cracks of meaning that tangible things leave behind.”\nAs a child\, Amanda Preston’s sketchbook went everywhere with her. Where words weren’t appropriate\, art was. Conversations between the adults around her became colours\, and her means of connection were often her drawings: her way of quietly saying “I see you.”\nWhere colour palate bonds her work together\, the pieces explore disconnect to others and to self\, as well as the expectations of being: Being alive\, being oneself\, being surrounded by one another\, being alone in a world that is both kind and unkind. \nThough words convey a lot of meaning\, language is limited and meaning is steadily diminished through ambitionless buzz-words that can’t always articulate one’s feelings. As one might reach for metaphors and similes to be the grout that secures honest feeling\, Preston reaches for art to fill to secure those same misplaced pieces\, providing a connection to those leftover bits of emotion that too often go unspoken. \nThe title of the show\, “no art to see here” can be read as a nod to Lady Macbeth’s “there’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” In other words\, no one can determine what another is thinking by looking at their appearance or the expression on such a person’s face.\nIn a very similar way\, you can be told to receive or not to receive art in a specific\, curated process but true connection or understanding will filter through our own individual perception. No one person can predetermine another’s connection or lack thereof.

SUMMARY:Sawney's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Please join us this Thursday\, May 18th @ 8PM for a special performance of Sawney’s Legacy at the Sunset Theatre in Wells.\nDate: Thursday\, May 18 @ 8PM\nRunning Time: @ 70 minutes – no intermission\nBox Office Opens @ 7:30PM\nLicensed Concession Opens @ 7:30PM\nTickets are $20.00 or Pay What You Can and can be purchased at the door or online at https://www.sunset-theatre.com/tickets \nABOUT Sawney’s Legacy:\nSawney’s Legacy is written and performed by Brendan Bailey.\nBrendan has very generously offered this show as a fundraiser for the Sunset Theatre. Thank you Brendan! \nAn Edwardian doctor explores the legacy his father\, poet James Anderson\, of Sawney’s Letters renown\, left in a far away mining camp in a place called Cariboo. \nThis solo-performer play is written and performed by Brendan Bailey\, directed by Dirk Van Stralen\, designed by Emily Bailey\, produced by Noble Players Theatrics\, and developed with thanks to research provided by historian\, Richard Wright. \nSawney’s Legacy is a period piece\, runs approximately 70 minutes in length\, and at various times during the show explores privileged views of 19th century caucasian society as well as addressing adult themes around family trauma and bias. It is not recommended for those under 10 years of age. \nA biographical play about Barkerville poet\, James Anderson\, Sawney’s Legacy explores an enduring connection between father and son.\nAnderson\, an 1860s Scottish miner\, was known as the Bard of Barkerville and the Poet Laureate of the Cariboo. He was one of the province’s first published poets\, and was also known for his poems and lyrics compiled as Sawney’s Letters in 1867. He left Barkerville to return home to Scotland after nearly a decade in late 1871. His 10 year-old son\, David\, would grow to take after him as a prolific writer in the late 19th Century. \nSawney’s Legacy was developed in part through the Sunset Theatre’s Exploration Series on the ancestral lands of the Dakelh\, Lhtako Dené\, and Secwépemc Peoples in 2020. This was followed by staged readings in 2021 and a premiere during the Sunset Theatre Speakeasy Festival in July 2022. In late August 2022\, Sawney’s Legacy was performed in the Victoria Fringe Festival to great acclaim. \nFeedback for the play has included: “mesmerizing\,” “amazing\,” “deeply sensational” “a really specia lexperience\,” “awesome\,” “an insightful\, complex and comforting escape\,” “beautifully written and performed\,” “nothing short of remarkable\,” “a rich transport back into time\,” and “all history should be taught this way.”

SUMMARY:Unlocking Stories: An Evening of Music w/ Zach Kleisinger
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30 PM.\nUnlock you Family Story (www.imarts.com/upcoming-workshops/2023/unlockyourfamilystory) is capped off with an evening of music\, story and wit from Vancouver’s Zach Kleisinger. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nZach writes lyrically-driven songs in the contemporary\, darkened-folk\, singer-songwriter style. His words often feel like a bathroom mirror\, while his compositions tend to conjure an emotion akin to the heartbreakers on Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. The strength of Kleisinger’s songwriting has a simple yet poetic intimacy that illustrates profound messages by magnifying the little things.\nSince releasing his EP\, I Hope It’s Calm\, Then\, in 2018\, Kleisinger has established himself within the alt-folk music community\, performing hundreds of concerts across Canada\, the UK\, Europe\, and the US. His live performances have gathered him a loyal audience\, where the comfort of his warm baritone voice and magnetic songs are often juxtaposed\, oddly and satisfyingly\, by dry\, unrehearsed humour.\nKleisinger’s latest record\, Their Symposium\, was released in August 2021 via DevilDuck Records to widespread acclaim. Since its release\, Their Symposium has charted on college radio across the US and Canada\, received generous airplay on Canada’s nationally syndicated radio network CBC\, and earned numerous publications in magazines such as Canadian Musician\, Americana UK\, Atwood\, and American Pancake. In the deep sea of indie-folk songwriters\, Zach Kleisinger is a narrator of raw emotions and real tales that will draw you into an intimate\, familiar world.\nwww.zachkleisinger.com\n⁠\nLOCATION:⁠\nThe Sunset Theatre\, Wells BC⁠\n⁠\nTICKETS⁠\n$25.00 General Admission\n$20.00 Member\n$15 Youth under 18\nFree Youth under 10\nFree for Unlock Your Family Story Students\nThis event falls at the tail end of Unlock your Family Story\, a family history writing workshop. \nYou can get your tickets here: https://island-mountain-arts.square.site⁠ \n*A note for ticket buyers* – Square online requires a street address to process payments – if you encounter any issues\, call our office (250)-994-3466 between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM from Monday – Friday. \nLive Music Presentation is made possible for Island Mountain Arts through the Government of Canada Department of Canadian Heritage\, the Province of British Columbia and Creative BC.
