   One Take Super 8

   
   

   October 21, 2023 02:00 AM      October 22, 2023 02:00 AM

   Join us for the world premiere of 20 new analogue movies presented LIVE on celluloid Super 8 film at Metro Studio Theatre or online!
   The One Take Super 8 is a decentralized network of filmmaking challenges and screenings presented across the globe — since its inception more than 20 years ago it has inspired the creation and screening of over 1000 films in more than 50 locations around the world. CineVic proudly presents the fourth Vancouver Island edition for your local viewing pleasure.
   Earlier this summer, participants from Victoria and the surrounding region were given a camera, a roll of film, and one week to create their own 3-minute Super 8 movie. The only catch: no editing. The filmmakers had to shoot their scenes in order with no second chances, and they’ll witness their work for the first time along with YOU – the audience – at two live screenings. Some films are silent but soundtracks are optional, created separately from the film and manually cued up on the night.

   October 21, 2023 09:00 PM      11:00 PM

   In the modern musical landscape, it’s rare to hear something as put-together as Cascadian folk duo West My Friend - something so layered, deeply symphonic, baroque, and mysterious in its own winking way while still courting an edge of disaster. Simple is safe, but complex is fiery, intricate, and ultimately more rewarding. Steeped in the visual styles of western Canada, West My Friend are veterans of the Victoria music scene and recently released their Independent Music Awards-nominated fourth album “In Constellation”. On this latest work, they continue to refine the art of creating achingly poignant folk music, only this time, they’re backed by a full symphony orchestra, heavily layered while remaining lighthearted. Intricate yet accessible. Melancholic yet optimistic.
   
   Mingling grassroots guitar, accordion, orchestral instruments, and interweaving harmonies, In Constellation (produced by Joby Baker, co-produced and arranged by Adrian Dolan) is punctuated by musings on anxiety and belonging. Song structures vary and dynamics change from moment to moment, painting powerful lyrical portraits over backgrounds of violins and trumpets that swell, collapse, and tumble between bold harmonies. With over 700 performances and countless tours under their belt, West My Friend is bringing forth a new sound you’ve never known you’ve wanted and new meaning to the things you’ve never known you needed.
