SUMMARY:Queendom Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Free Admission | Registration Required (Link to register here) \nFilm in Russian with English subtitles \nJoin us for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary Queendom\, presented by the Russian Canadian Democratic Alliance (RCDA). First time in Halifax! \nGena\, a queer artist from a small town in Russia\, stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism – and put her life in danger. \nIn bold defiance of Russia’s anti-LGBTQ laws\, Gena Marvin\, a queer 21-year-old performance artist\, transforms the streets of Moscow into surreal and radical public art. Her performances are a striking fusion of self-expression and protest – risking arrest\, violence\, and exile. \nQueendom (an SXSW Official Selection) follows Gena’s journey from a small Russian town to the center of international queer resistance. \nThis screening celebrates queer creativity\, courage\, and defiance around the world – and stands in solidarity with those fighting for freedom under repression.

SUMMARY:Carbon Arc: Nadja (4k Restoration)
DESCRIPTION:Vampire Nadja launches a feud against her father Dracula’s murderer\, starting with seducing his daughter. A shimmering restoration of a cult gem brought to you by Carbon Arc Cinema! \n“We have an allergy to sunlight. My whole family.” Merging elements from Dracula’s Daughter (1936) with André Breton’s surrealist novel Nadja (1928)\, and fusing shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video\, Michael Almereyda’s acclaimed cult film centers on New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she draws close to her twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris) following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda). Edgar’s private nurse (Suzy Amis)\, Van Helsing’s nephew Jim (Martin Donovan)\, and Jim’s wife (Galaxy Craze) are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania. \nExecutive produced by David Lynch\, this original director’s cut of Nadja was digitally from the only extant element\, the 35mm answer print. Director Almereyda on the birth of Nadja: “David and Mary understood that the movie\, following Breton’s lead\, was intended as a kind of collage\, in the tradition of a surrealist exquisite corpse\, though we were equally indebted to Roger Corman\, shooting fast and cheap and fitting the story into just a few locations. Low as the budget was\, investors faded out when we lost a particular cast member a few weeks away from our start date\, and David bravely decided to pay for the film out of his own pocket—an act of generosity that still startles me.”

SUMMARY:Nova Scotia Retro Film Festo: The Corridor
DESCRIPTION:Evan Kelly | Canada | 2010 | 98m \nThis film is screening as part of the second annual Nova Scotia Retro Film Festo\, happening January 29 – February 2\, 2026! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvan Kelly (director\, The Corridor) has been making short films\, television\, documentary projects\, and countless commercials since 1999. Like so many others\, the draw had always been towards feature films. If he were a pony (which he is not)\, The Corridor – essentially – could be described as his one (true) trick. It was a trick that showed at festivals around the world\, and gathered some acclaim and appreciators along the way. \nJosh MacDonald (writer\, The Corridor) is the winner of an AMD/Dell “Next Wave” Award for Best Screenplay from Fantastic Fest in Austin\, TX\, for The Corridor. He is also the writer of the feature comedy-drama Faith\, Fraud & Minimum Wage. Josh’s stage plays #IAmTheCheese (based on Robert Cormier’s YA novel)\, The Mystery Play\, Whereveville and Halo are published by Talonbooks. Josh also teaches screenwriting at NSCAD University. \nCraig Cameron (producer\, The Corridor) is a seasoned filmmaker based in Halifax\, with over two decades of experience in the film and television industry. His extensive experience spans various roles such as a producer\, assistant director\, and production manager on both local and international productions. Craig’s career has been anchored at Chronicle Pictures\, where he has been involved in several notable projects\, including “Terminal Lunch\,” “December 1917” (Gemini nominated)\, and “Touch and Go\,” written by Michael Melski.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTyler Crawley needs his friends’ support more than ever. He plans a weekend with his childhood buddies to reconnect\, to renew the old friendship that seems to have deteriorated over time. The bond between his buddies has cooled over the years\, and their ability to understand each other has diminished. Tyler’s convinced if he spends a few days with them out in the woods\, partying and having fun\, things will go back to the way they were. He’s wrong. There’s something out there\, waiting for them. \n“(A) fantastic thrill ride of horror and science fiction.” – Adrian Halen\, HorrorNews.Net \nWinner: Best Film – Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival\, 2011Winner: Audience Award for Best Canadian Feature Film — Fantasia Fest\, 2011Winner: AMD/Dell “Next Wave” Award for Best Screenplay — Fantastic Fest\, Austin\, TX\, 2011Winner: Best Picture & Best Director — Fantastic Planet\, Australia\, 2012Winner: Best Picture — 2011 Flickers Rhode Island Int’l Film FestivalWinner: Best Independent Film — Dark Bridges Film Festival\, Sask.\, 2011Winner: People’s Choice Award\, Best of 2011 – Canuxploitation.comNominated for Three Awards at the Tulsa Int’l Film Fest\, including Best Picture (Foreign).

SUMMARY:Deep Cuts Presents: D.E.B.S.
DESCRIPTION:There is a secret test hidden within the S.A.T. This test does not measure a student’s aptitude in reading\, writing\, and arithmetic\, it measures a student’s innate ability to lie\, cheat\, fight\, and kill. Those who score well are recruited into a secret paramilitary academy. Some call them seductresses\, some call them spies. Fools call them innocent. They call themselves… D.E.B.S. \nAngela Robinson’s sapphic action comedy hits the big screen at the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op just in time for the holiday season. It has nothing to do with Christmas\, but what a wonderful gift to see under your tree regardless!

SUMMARY:Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLIFF)
DESCRIPTION:Mayworks Momentum presents selections from the Canadian Labour International Film Festival.\nThe Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLIFF) is in it’s 17th edition and Mayworks will again present a local satellite screening of short films chosen from this year’s CLIFF selections. \nCLIFF selects films from across the globe that give voice to workers and their struggles for better lives. \nTotal program runtime: 91 minutes \n\nFilm Program:\n\nNola\nby Natalie Remplakowski & Aisha Evelyna (Canada: English) – 10 min \n \nA Black woman working as a sous-chef navigates toxic restaurant culture and her wavering mental health\, until a chance encounter changes her. \n\nYour Own Boss\nby Álvaro Guzmán Bastida (Spain: Spanish) – 18 min \n \nA food delivery worker struggles to juggle his responsibilities as a young father with the impossible demands of an algorithm that pushes him to the limit. \n\nWorking For Freedom\nby Conor Devries (Canada: English) – 11 min \n \nWorking for Freedom is a short documentary that follows an Ottawa-based woman through her experiences of prison labour at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. Author of Solidarity behind bars\, Jordan House\, provides us with an overview of the frameworks that allow these exploitative practices to continue today. \n\nShadow Work\nby Gillian McKercher (Canada: English) – 3 min \n \n\n\nThis short documentary looks at “shadow work”: tasks that are not part of an employee’s official job description\, but are necessary for the organization to function\, and may be unpaid and unseen. \nUnpaid labour\, shadow work\, glue work\, organizational citizenship. Whatever you name it\, organizations benefit from it. \n\n\n\nLimerent Pittsburgh\nby Anne Ciecko (USA: English) – 3 min \n \nA videopoem revisiting the rust belt city is a site of rekindling of memories and mythologies of labour and family. \n\nMotown South\nby Samuel George (USA: English) – 20 min \n \n\n\nThe electric vehicle industry is booming in the American South\, so much so that the region has earned the nickname the “Battery Belt”. \nBut why are producers setting up shop in states such as Georgia\, Alabama and Tennessee? In part\, the trend stems from a historic lack of union representation there. But workers – and labor organizers – have noticed. And they are starting to push back. How this emerging dynamic plays out could transform the future of American industry. \n\n\n\nGhost Workers\nby Lisette Olsthoorn (Netherlands: English) – 26 min \n \n\n\nIn a film set in which their home offices have been recreated\, six European microworkers share experiences with the filmmaker and with each other\, offering an affecting critique on changing labour conditions. \nGhost Workers is a cinematic research project into the people conducting the often hidden labor necessary to make artificial intelligence work. Working from home\, not being recognized as a worker by the platforms that they work for and being misunderstood by family and friends all together creates strong feelings of isolation. Therefore\, the filmmaker invited six workers from across Europe to share their work experiences with her and with each other. Focusing on the theme of isolation and recognition as a ‘real worker\,’ the film engages in a collective conversation about this type of work.

SUMMARY:IWant2BeOnTV
DESCRIPTION:  \nIWant2BeOnTV is a video project started in 2021 based on recreating public access television with Alex Apostolidis’s broader arts community. In 2023/2024\, Alex Apostolidis and Ben RJ Goss produced “HOME TV I”\, a video series about queering television that reimagines pre-streaming era television made with a DIY focus. “HOME TV I” explores different television tropes\, challenging the way media representation influences and maintains cultural hegemony. Building on Apostolidis’s previous works\, “HOME TV I” creates an earnest yet playful portrayal of queer lifestyles and aesthetics and while toying with the performative nature of gender and sexuality\, production and labour\, identity politics and comedy as a coping mechanism. The videos in the series include “The News”(2024)\, “Kid’s Show”(2024)\, “Music TV”(2024)\, “Hot-Dog Eating Competition”(2023) and “Episode 1: The Future of Television”(2021) as well as video interludes of previous works “RGB Studies” (2023) and “My 20th Birthday Still Not Happy\, but Not Sad” (2019) \n  \nAlex Apostolidis will be on tour with Charvel Rappos throughout Atlantic Canada showing these video works from May 27th\, 2025 until June 12th\, 2025. During this tour\, Apostolidis and Rappos will be screening these works at five locations which will then be followed-up with artist talks and Q&A sessions. In addition\, the two artists will be collaborating on a live performance\, “Food Fight” for the Lawnya Vawnya Music Festival\, which will be additionally live streamed online and at multiple locations across Canada.”

SUMMARY:"Slovo" House. Unfinished Novel screening
DESCRIPTION:1927. Artists are settled into one building. They are allowed to choose the finest apartments. All the amenities are provided: telephones\, heating\, and even a solarium on the roof. They are being listened to\, but they don’t know it. Eventually\, of the 66 apartments\, only 16 remain inhabited. The other residents are arrested\, executed\, or exiled to camps. \nSounds like the plot of a gripping psychological thriller\, doesn’t it? The only difference is that this really happened – in Kharkiv.\nIn the 1920s\, the city became a hub of Ukrainian culture\, attracting the most talented artists from across the country. And not just artists. Kharkiv wasn’t prepared for such an influx\, leaving many newcomers asking: where will we live? \nOstap Vyshnia\, one of the local writers\, proposed building a house for writers and even petitioned Stalin for funding. Unexpectedly\, he succeeded. The building was designed in the shape of the letter “C” for Slovo (Word; Cyrilic “C” sounds the same way as “S”). Soon\, it became home to luminaries like Les Kurbas\, Mykola Khvyloviy\, Pavlo Tychyna\, Volodymyr Sosiura\, Mike Johansen\, Ostap Vyshnia himself\, and others. \nWithin a few years\, Mykola Khvylovy\, a former communist\, grew disillusioned with the regime and took his own life in his apartment. Eleven other residents of the building were executed in Sandarmokh in 1937. In March 2022\, this building was damaged by a russian shell. \nThe feature film “Slovo” House. Unfinished Novel” tells the story of Ukrainian artists who lived in this building – how they lived\, wrote\, and formed friendships. The film is shot in black and white to better capture the spirit of the time. Despite the seemingly ideal conditions for creativity\, the artists lived under strict constraints\, and those who dared to step beyond them faced punishment. Interestingly\, the film contains a single color scene. Punishment\, however\, didn’t always mean camps or death; sometimes\, it meant coercion to collaborate with evil forces\, as happened with Pavlo Tychyna. \nJoin us for a screening of “Slovo” House. Unfinished Novel in Halifax.\n📅 When: February 1 at 5:00 PM (doors open at 4:40 PM)\n📍 Where: Bus Stop Theatre Co-op\n2203 Gottingen St.\, Halifax\n💸 Price: 20 CAD (Buy on Eventbrite) \nKinotoloka Halifax is a community initiative that brings people together through screenings of Ukrainian films and cultural exchange. Our goal is to spread awareness of Ukrainian cinema and amplify Ukrainian narratives to counter Russian propaganda. If you resonate with our mission\, please share this post\, tell your Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian friends about us\, and invite them to the screening. Let’s remember our history.

SUMMARY:Deep Cuts Presents: Night of the Comet 40th Anniversary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Christmas with Deep Cuts and our special guest host Drue Robyn with a screening of Night of the Comet (the first scene takes place in the Christmas season so it’s officially a Christmas movie). The action-horror-comedy described by Variety as a “successful pastiche of numerous science fiction films\, executed with an entertaining\, tongue-in-cheek flair” is screening for one night only at the Bus Stop Theatre Co-operative. \nSisters Reggie and Sam are seemingly the only survivors of a comet which\, when it passed earth\, all other humans either evaporated or turned into zombies. In this new world\, can they find ever safety? Home? Perhaps even… love? \n“one of the most amusing\, witty\, imaginative\, and thought-provoking films I’ve seen that was made with no budget and is also cheap exploitation” \n“a good-natured\, end-of-the-world B-movie” \n“creates a visually arresting B-picture in neon-primary colors”” \n“Valley Girl culture satire Night of the Comet gets lots of mileage out of its slapstick sci-fi zombie approach”

SUMMARY:Pride vs. Prejudice Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first ever Atlantic Canadian screening of Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story! Delwin Vriend\, an Albertan teacher\, was fired from his job specifically because he was gay. This spectacular documentary follows his fight against his own government for basic human rights and dignity\, providing intriguing insight into the dramatic court decisions and judicial behaviour which caused widespread public furor during his legal battles. His eventual victory had widespread social impacts\, not just in Alberta\, or Canada\, but around the globe. By deconstructing the experience of Delwin Vriend and other LGBTQ2S+ Canadians\, this film explores not only an essential step forward for LGBT2QS+ rights in Canada\, but reminds us why continued efforts for human rights are necessary – now more than ever. \nTicket details: Tickets are available by pay-what-you-can donation. Donation will be taken at the door. Although some seats may be available on the night of the screening\, seats are limited and we ask that you confirm your attendance by email at vriendfilmmc@gmail.com.
