November 10 2018, 6:30 PM | The Vernon Folk Roots Society Presents: Celeigh Cardinal Trio @ The Knox Presbyterian Church Music awards for Indigenous Artist of the Year, we are proud to present the Celeigh Cardinal Trio. Celeigh Cardinal is a prairie girl through and through. Her heartfelt, biographical songs are carried by a voice that harkens to the golden era of jazz and blues. This Métis singer/songwriter is easily one of the finest vocalists to hail from the Peace Country. A Celeigh Cardinal performance is a profound, soulful triumph of songs that blend roots, folk, rock and pop. Her voice at once evokes a gentleness and control which can turn to raucous, gut-wrenching, twisted, turn-yourself-inside-out blues within a single phrase. In May of 2017, Celeigh was the recipient of a “REVEAL Indigenous Arts Award” from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in Manitoba. In 2016, she received an “ATB Listens” grant from ATB Financial and participated in the (Re)Claim program at the Banff Centre for the Arts. Celeigh has also received a Youth Role Model Award from the Spirit Seekers Conference in Grande Prairie, and was appointed the Cultural Ambassador for the 2010 Arctic Winter Games. She is a passionate performer who can draw an emotional response with her deliberate words and rich contralto voice. She is currently based out of Edmonton, Alberta and continues to perform alongside her duo, trio and with her band. |

November 13 2018, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM | Prose Master Class with John Lent @ Caetani Cultural Centre John Lent presents two Master Classes in Prose and Poetry at the Caetani Cultural Centre! Masterclasses are 8 weeks in duration, with one three hour session per week plus additional one-on-one time with noted author John Lent. Class membership is limited to 12 advanced writers working on a manuscript. Tuition: $425.00 per course. Register online now for Fall Prose Masterclass Fall, 2018: PROSE OCTOBER 16 to DECEMBER 4 Tuesday Evenings, 6:00 to 9:00pm, Caetani Library Classes will be a mixture of discussions about contemporary composition in prose, demonstrations concerning both writing and editing and finding the right shapes for fiction or memoir or non-fiction, and critiquing sessions that will focus on class members’ work. Because I am helplessly addicted to reading contemporary literature, my hope is that every member of this class will be refining skills that are current, professional and aimed at seeking an audience. This is the ideal class for writers who are working away on her or his own and could use the support of a focused and professional community of writers, especially if she or he is in the middle of a manuscript. I am just re-engaging on the writing of a large novel myself called, tentatively, The Kitchen Sessions, and because of that, teaching this class will be timely for me as it will force me to articulate the kinds of compositions I am re-engaging in. If you are interested in exploring my career as a professional writer, teacher and editor so you understand my background and interests in prose better, please visit my website: www.johnlent.ca |

November 14 2018, 5:15 PM | Vernon Film Society Transit @ Galaxy Cinemas Vernon Director: Christian Petzold Cast: Franz Rogowski, Paula Beer, Godehard Giese Year: 2018 Runtime: 101 minutes Country: Germany, France Language: German, French, (With English subtitles) Rating: Not yet rated German troops are fast approaching Paris. Georg, a German refugee, escapes to Marseille in the nick of time. In his luggage, he carries the documents of an author, Weidel, who has taken his own life in fear of his persecutors. Those documents include a manuscript, letters and visa assurance from the Mexican embassy. In Marseille, only those who can prove they will leave, may remain. Visas for possible host countries, transit visas, and those scarce tickets for passage by ship are much needed. Georg has memorized Weidel's papers and assumes his identity. He delves into the quasi-existence of flight: refugee chatter in the corridors of a small hotel, the consulates, cafés and bars that line the harbor... He befriends Driss, the son of his comrade Heinz, who died on the run. Why move on at all? Are new beginnings possible elsewhere anyway? Everything changes when Georg falls in love with the mysterious Marie. Is it devotion or calculation that has led her to share her life with a doctor, Richard, before journeying on in search of her husband? He's said to have surfaced in Marseille in possession of a Mexican visa for him and his wife. “More evidence of [Petzold's] confidence and skill as a director.” - Michael Pattison, RogerEbert.com Watch The Trailer |
