The 2nd Annual Manitoba Film & Music Showcase happens today at 2pm at the Centennial Concert Hall. Admission is FREE (I'll emphasize FREE throughout this post so you'll remember and go). 13 bands from a plethora of genres will play a song or two in between film clips and talks from local filmmakers and producers.
Director Gary Yates (High Life, Seven Times Lucky) will be interviewed. There will be screenings of the animated short Runaway, Cubicle Land, and the recently-recorded Live at the West End concerts, which featured The Dust Rhinos, JD Edwards, Julie Biggs, and Patrick Keenan. The Showcase also spotlights Farpoint Films, Frantic Films, and the National Screen Institute. A live aerial silks performance from filmmaker/aerial artist, Talia Pura, whose short film, Aerial Artistry has been chosen to represent Manitoba in the upcoming 2010 Olympics in Vancouver this February is not to be missed. And it's all FREE!
After the event, there will be a chance for attendees to mingle with local celebrity-types from the Manitoba film and music community.
The Line-up (not in order of appearance but appearing for FREE):
The Weakerthans
Domenica

J.P. Hoe

Sounds like a great time to me. And did I mention that admission is completely FREE? Unfortunately, parking is not.
