The third annual Tidal Wave Film Festival kicked into high gear Wednesday evening with the sold out opening- night screening of Jericho Mansions, and a gala to follow (festival organizers and Equinox, the film distributor in Montreal, have added a second screening of Jericho Mansions this Saturday to ensure that people who want to see local talent and scenery in this Thriller may do so).

"The festival is the biggest yet, and all indications suggest that it will be our best so far, " says Festival Chair, Lloyd Salomone. "The NB Film Co-op and the festival organizing team are pretty excited to see how audiences react to this treat."

"Whether you like short films, feature films, animated films, documentary films and videopoems, there's definitely something for everyone’s tastes and interests at this year's festival, " says Festival Director, Sebastian MacLean, who saw his own documentary premiere at the 2002 festival.

This year's festival has grown to include 29 screenings featuring more than 65 films. Screenings, workshops and social activities are being presented over five fun-filled days and nights, hosted at several venues throughout town.

In addition to the screenings for filmgoers, there is an expanded Industry Series where a mix of experienced and emerging filmmakers can network with their New Brunswick colleagues and the fifteen special guests coming from across Canada and the United States. For people who may be interested in making their first film or video, there will be a free “Introduction To Filmmaking” session put on by Tony Merzetti and Cathie LeBlanc of the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-operative this Saturday.

The Tidal Wave Film Festival is presented by the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-operative and runs from November 5-9, 2003. Screening venues are located at The Playhouse, Empire Theatre and UNB Tilley Hall. The major sponsors are NB FILM, CBC and the Department of Communications Canada.

For more information about this year’s festival visit the website at www.tidalwavefilmfest.ca or call the Tidal Wave Film Festival office at 506- 451-1488.

3. Dinner, A Movie And An After-Show Drink: Local Businesses Partner With Local Businesses

Downtown Fredericton Inc. and the organizers of the Tidal Wave Film Festival have struck a promotional partnership designed to benefit sixteen local bars and restaurants as well as patrons of this year's film festival.

Festival-goers can make the most of their nights out by having dinner and a movie to start the night, or by wrapping things up with an after-show drink. Some of the participating establishments will be offering special promotions or discounts on food and beverages during the five-day film festival.

“Going to see a film has always been a real social event. Whether you attend with a date, or friends and family, part of the fun is to discuss and debate what you have just seen," points out Sebastian MacLean, Festival Director. "Going to a local bar or restaurant after the screening to meet and chat with the filmmakers and actors adds a little something extra to that experience, and in a relaxed environment."

Where possible, festival organizers have tried to match the theme of each film with the personality and clientele of the partnering bars and restaurants.

The sixteen Fredericton bars and restaurants participating as “Official Social Venues” at this year’s film festival include: the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel, The Blue Door, The Capital, The Cellar, Brewbaker’s, Sweetwater’s, Bugaboo Creek Pub, The Brickhouse, Rye’s Deli, McPhail’s Tap Room, The Chestnut, Pitchman’s Pub, Bruno’s & DJ Purdy’s, McGinnis Landing, The Lunar Rogue, and the Snooty Fox. To find out which bars and restaurants are associated with each festival screening, visit www.tidalwavefilmfest.ca and click on “Parties.”

The Tidal Wave Film Festival is presented by the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-operative and runs from November 5-9, 2003. Screening venues are located at The Playhouse, Empire Theatre and UNB Tilley Hall. The major sponsors are NB FILM, CBC and the Department of Communications Canada.

4. Gallery 78: “Ins and Outs” with Carolyn Purdy

"Ins and Outs" is the title of an exhibition of recent works by Fredericton artist, Carolyn Purdy. On the surface the title refers to the artists chosen subject matter, ie interior still life views and exterior gardens. However it also alludes, as do the works themselves, to the eternal dialectic between inside and outside, inclusion and exclusion, enclosure and womb, shell and carapace, the ephemeral nature of style and fashion and the emotional subjective nature of perception. All that being said, the works themselves reflect the artist’s rapturous engagement with her medium.

Purdy's work is difficult to describe for someone who has not experienced it. Riotous sumptuous colour, objects or subjects which practically leap off the canvas and paper with peripatetic personality. Looking at them, one feels as if one has entered "Fantasia” or gone through the looking glass.

This exhibition marks the artists' first foray into oil on canvas having recently studied extensively with Fredericton's master of the medium, artist Glenn Priestley. The new medium has allowed her greater freedom, enabling her for the first time to work "en pleinair". The exhibition comprises 22 of these canvases, 6 pastels and 2 oils on paper. It will be, therefore, her largest solo exhibition to date. The show opened Sunday, November 2nd and continues until the 23rd. The featured artist for the month is Tom Smith. New pottery by this master ceramicist is on display.

14. ARTCONTACT Fall Exhibitions

Rick Burns, Gerard Collins and Sarah Petite

ARTCONTACT has launched its autumn season with an exciting exhibition featuring three of Atlantic Canada’s most renowned artists. Fredericton’s Rick Burns, recipient of the prestigious Strathbutler award for the year 2000, featured his new series “Dogs”. The photo-based images on mylar further the themes of freedom and containment which have recurred in his paintings, drawings and sculptures over the past three decades. The dog has a primary mythic role in all of cultural life and in his current work Burns uses the canine species as a metaphor for the human condition. The artist jokingly referred to this body of work as “how much is that artist in the window?”

Gerard Collins, winner of the Strathbutler award in 1998, is one of the very few contemporary New Brunswick artists whose work is included in the National Gallery in Ottawa. The artist’s insistence that he paints only what he loves is reflected in the oil and pastel works presently showing at ARTCONTACT. This series of recent works chronicles Collins’ admiration of the landscape surrounding his city and country homes at Dean’s Hill in St. John and Shaw’s Lake. The paintings and pastels which were created over the past six months prove, as the art critic Ian Lumsden has pointed out, that this enormously talented artist can “create eternal beauty out of the flotsam and jetsam of his own backyard”.

Sarah Petite whose work is included in the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and the New Brunswick Art Bank is a medium- oriented artist whose driving interest lies in the many qualities of encaustic paint. The replication of artifacts - rock posters, road signs, Egyptian papyri, Sumerian inlay, Medieval enamels, German expressionist wood cuts, black- figured pottery, Assyrian bas relief and archival drawings of architectural elevations and newspaper clippings are her vehicle for the discovery of wax paint’s many talents. Included in her most recent works are “Fishing the Nile” which depicts a fragment of a limestone relief from the tomb of Montuemhat at Thebes and the more close-to- home “Sally” based on a clipping from the classified page of the St. John Royal Gazette of 1785.

On a lighter note Sarah Petite creates wonderful board games including chess, checkers and scrabble that provide the Fredericton artist with an occasional holiday from the large replications. Used for play, Petite states that the games “hang the balance between the aesthetic and the functional and provide a metaphor for the personal strategies of life.”

ARTCONTACT’s fall exhibition is a cultural must see in Fredericton. The show of works by Rick Burns, Gerard Collins and Sarah Petite can be viewed by special appointment (453-1856) until November 15. Groups and school classes are welcome.

Reviews By Russ Hunt

Cherry Docs Bunnies in the Headlights Theatre The Black Box, October 31 - November 1

That a script is challenging both for a company and an audience, that at the same time it's about something that matters profoundly, and that it not only acknowledges but uses the limitations of the stage, is enough, usually, to get me deeply involved in a production, even if there are some challenges that aren't quite met and some evidence that there's still work to be done on the script or on the production. The production of Cherry Docs which the Halifax-based Bunnies in the Headlights Theatre Company has brought to the Black Box meets all those criteria.

The premise of the action is pretty straightforward, and pretty promising. Danny is a lawyer, a self-styled and pretty self-satisfied liberal, and a Jew -- though a pretty secularized and casual one. He's been assigned, as a public defender, the case of Mike, a neo-Nazi skinhead who has kicked a middle aged oriental man to death with his red Doc Marten boots ("Cherry Docs"). As one might predict, over the course of the pre-trial meetings, the preliminary hearings, and the trial, both of them learn and change in ways we're not supposed to predict (though finally they're pretty much what a theatregoer might expect): Danny comes to doubt the efficacy of his liberalism, his marriage collapses, his career -- which has been advanced by the case -- turns to ashes in his mouth, and by the end he's lost most of the easy comfort he told us about, savouring a Cuban cigar, at the outset, and has begun what seems a retreat into the faith of his father. Mike, on the other hand, having been taken through what Danny calls "the eye of a needle," but which we might call a course of therapy and a catharsis, has begun to see the problems in his neo- Nazi faith (his mechanically-delivered "creed," shouted out at the climax of the show, is one of the most chilling things I've heard on a stage in some time), and has begun to build a life for himself in prison and the hope of one afterward. If there are no real surprises there, there's certainly the potential for some affecting acting and some powerful reflection on ideas, beliefs, society and power.

Halo Two Planks and a Passion Theatre Company The Playhouse, October 26, 2003

Most Maritimers will remember the fuss about the apparition of the Virgin Mary on the side of a Tim Horton's in Cape Breton a couple of years ago. Josh MacDonald, the author of Halo, clearly remembered, and clearly remembered with the same mixture of amusement and compassion that many people felt. On the one hand, what conceivably would be the Blessed Virgin's motivation for creating a such a miraculous sign (across the street from the Lick-a-Chick, as I remember)? On the other, how strong is the need for signs to support a challenged faith that substantial numbers of people flocked to witness the miracle?

In the play he's constructed about a fictionalized version of this event -- here, it's the nonexistent town of Nately, Nova Scotia, and it's Jesus himself who appears on the side of the coffee shop -- MacDonald pushes together the two emotions, amusement and a kind of understanding compassion, and produces a play that snaps back and forth between laughter and, well, if not quite tears, certainly that lump-in-the-throat feeling. He does it by creating some genuinely funny dialogue, and putting it in the mouths of people we come to care about, people with understandable human problems.
