Friday January 20 at 8PM, Old Firehall
Featuring two Canadian iconoclasts of cinema: Shipman and Maddin.
Guy Maddin's 1992 dream-like masterpiece Careful turns 20!
Get a small taste of Nell Shipman's films and what's to come in the Available Light Film Festival gala show The Grub-Stake Revisited:
Comedy, romance and adventure in the Klondike! Nell Shipman's 1923 magnum opus with live new music score and Shakespearian verse (Feb 9).
The Short
The Light on Lookout
Dir. Nell Shipman, USA, 1924, 18min
With a conservationist subplot involving an old-growth forest and timber thieves who capture the honest lone woodsman, Nell's character finds romance in which a wolf plays match-maker and, at the climax, Brownie the bear intervenes. The Grub-Stake and Shipman bio.
The Feature
Careful
Dir. Guy Maddin, 1992, 100min
Imagine Twin Peaks, as directed by Erich von Stroheim, Careful is a tale of star crossed lovers, duels, and obsession in a 19th-century alpine village where the residents must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. Shot in bright, vivid color reminiscent of early two-strip Technicolor, Careful is a visually dazzling, dream-like, quasi-Freudian masterpiece that parodies the German mountain films of the 1920s and authentically recreates the surrealistic style of such famous German Expressionist films as Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

$10/ $8 YFS members. Available at the door. Coffee, tea and snacks will be available.
