7pm & 9:20pm
All About Emily Film Night at Cinecenta
$4.75 - $7.75
Sit back and enjoy the scenery! Each screening will feature two beautiful films on the life and work of artist and author, Emily Carr. Michael Ostroff's feature length film Winds of Heaven: Emily Carr, Carvers, and the Spirits of the Forest is a visually stunning piece of cinematography that is as much a portrait of the rainforests and landscape of this geographic and cultural region as it is a portrait of the artist.
Jill Sharpe's Bone, Wind, Fire (NFB) is a 30 minute visual portrait of three of the most important and iconic female artists of the 20th century: Georgia O'Keefe (Bone), Emily Carr (Wind), and Frida Kahlo (Fire). The film places the audience inside the head of each artist by recreating their distinct, visual surroundings and marrying these visuals with voice overs of words from the actual musings and writings of the artists.
Both films will sweep you away and are a must-see for artists, art and beauty-lovers, alike.
