Picks of the week - March 16-22
It’s finally “warm” enough to go outside and do stuff, and it’s that sweet spot where midterms are over and the finals crush is still a week or two from starting. There’s some interesting stuff happening this week that doesn’t involve green beer, and a lot of it is budget-friendly, so treat yo self.
At Ciné-club caserne 45 tonight, March 16th, previous MRX pick of the week Deux jours, une nuit screens at 7pm, entry $3. If you want to get a head start on your St. Patrick’s Day festivities after, Monsieur Smith, Le trèfle, the Blind Pig, and L’espace public are all a very short walk (in a straight line).
Also tonight, Cinémagique has a preview screening of White God at the Parc. If you like puppies and obvious metaphors in your art film, this may be the thing for you.
Ciné-campus U de M has four screenings of local production Félix et Meira this week, all presented by the director and his co-writer, $4 with student ID. Over at Excentris, The Price We Pay and Gett screen until the 19th. Both look good, but The Price We Pay in particular seems very timely.
And finally, if the quiet week also coincides with the week where there is just no money left at all, check out the World of Matter show at the Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery. With some striking large-scale data visualizations in the entry, the show features six different documentary projects, including a few multi-channel projects, an amazing iPad app, and looped projections of Episode of the Sea. Free entry for all.
