SILVER WAVE PARTNERS WITH ARTSLINK NB!
This year for the ArtsLink NB reception we will be teaming up with the super fun people at the New Brunswick Filmmakers' Co-op and Silver Wave Film Festival. So eat, drink and mingle with us at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Nov. 4th at 5pm, and make sure to get yourself to some film screening that weekend!
Check out the full schedule here: https://www.facebook.com/events/574726626050688/
MAKING it in New Brunswick is an innovative forum that brings together a diverse mix of stakeholders to explore how the arts can empower communities. Hosted by ArtsLink NB, the forum is a key opportunity to learn how to harness art, culture, and creativity as catalysts for community vibrancy, sustainability, prosperity, and inclusiveness.
This year we’re bringing you workshops to help develop your career, a panel discussion to ask what it means to Make it in New Brunswick, networking events, and a phenomenal Keynote speech from successful contemporary artist, Justin Langlois. Langlois will share his experiences developing a vibrant career from the margins of the Canadian art map. Throughout the Forum, we’re looking at fostering collaboration across sectors and within our own as a key aspect of creative practice for all disciplines.
Friday we will kick off the forum with workshops by our keynote guest and artsnb. In the evening, join your artistic colleagues and friends at a laid back networking event and reception at the Charlotte Street Art Centre. In keeping with our theme, the reception this year is presented in collaboration with the NB Film Co-op and Silver Wave Film Festival. David in the Dark will perform.

GENIUS
WHEN: Monday October 24th at 7:30pm in Tilley 102, UNB
92 mins, IRELAND/NETHERLANDS/FRANCE/USA, 2016, English
The debut feature from West End theatre ace Michael Grandage, Genius takes a journey back in time to the vital New York literary scene of the Roaring Twenties. Adapted by John Logan from the 1978 book Max Perkins: Editor of Genius by A. Scott Berg, Genius stars Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, The Railway Man) as Perkins, the legendary literary editor who discovered such magnificent talents as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Genius follows the burgeoning friendship between Perkins and the then unknown Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Anna Karenina). When Wolfe’s sprawling, chaotic manuscript falls into his hands, Perkins is convinced that he has discovered a literary genius, and sets out to hammer it into shape for publication. Under Perkins’ supervision, Wolfe cuts a third of the pages from his manuscript and endows it with a new title: Look Homeward, Angel. The intensive editing process leads to the blossoming of a close relationship between the gentle family man Perkins and the eccentric Wolfe — a relationship that is viewed with suspicion by the men’s romantic partners, Perkins’ wife Louise Saunders (Laura Linney, Mr. Holmes, Hyde Park on Hudson) and Wolfe’s lover, the author Aline Bernstein (Nicole Kidman, Lion, The Railway Man).
The always reliable Firth gives a restrained and poignant performance as Perkins, while Law delivers a tremendous turn as the increasingly troubled and conflicted Wolfe. Taking us inside the work of writing like few films have ever done, Genius is an extraordinary saga about one of the most important creative collaborations in American literary history.
An intriguing study of the personalities and torturous process behind some of the early 20th century’s great writing - Tom Russo, Boston Globe
This year, 30 limited release, independent foreign & Canadian films will be shown. Admission is $7/film, but a yearly $18 student film society membership reduces admission cost to $4/film. The series is open to all. Memberships are available at Tilley 102 every Monday night.
For further info, contact NB Film Co-op 455-1632 info@nbfilmcoop.com http://www.nbfilmcoop.com/exhibition/monday-night-film-series
The NB Film Co-op in partnership with the UNB Faculty of Arts and the Toronto Film Festival presents the series.
