The object of the game is for a player to play all the dominoes from his or her hand onto one or more chains, or “trains”, emanating from a central hub or “station”. The game’s most popular name comes from a special optional train that belongs to all players. However, the game can be played without the Mexican Train; such variants are generally called “Private Trains” or “Domino Trains”. It is related to the game Chicken Foot. Come and join in the fun and learn this classic game!

Many people have made friends, found employment, done deals, developed ideas, and experienced serendipity at these events. Green Drinks attracts a lively mixture of professionals from every sector and is active in 614 cities around the world. Victoria’s Green Drinks has already created the largest informal network of green professionals on Vancouver Island. Since September 2006, thousands of people have either formed, friendships, found jobs, offered mutual support or built business and political opportunity. This informal network has created positive economic, social and environmental outcomes which benefit everyone involved. That is why Green Drinks exists in Victoria. Green Drinks International maintains a web site at this Link The site has links to every Canadian city hosting Green Drinks, including Victoria, BC. In Victoria Green Drinks occur on the second Tuesday of every month at an agreed venue. Currently that is at The Drake, an eatery at the foot of Pandora and Store street. Green Drinks has rules, but there are precious few: \* no membership fees or formal structure. \* events are simple and unstructured. \* No agenda, or other formality. \* An inclusive assembly where respect for others is not just encouraged, its expected. \* The Fixed Rule is the monthly event date. The 2nd Tuesday of the month. \* A donation is appreciated to cover our costs and allow us to continue to support the community ( It’s a no host bar). \* The only participant requirements are to meet new people, enjoy good conversation, learn a lot and have fun in the process. \* Participants fuel the continuous healthy growth of Green Drinks by inviting friends and other like-minded people.( Rarely do all the same people come each month.) The strength of Green Drinks lies in the diversity of the people it attracts. The following have attended previous events: Company Presidents, CEOs, authors, film-makers, lawyers, developers, contractors,architects, mediators, teachers/coaches/guides/mentors, Many Phds and Masters students recent graduates, students, musicians, songwriters, social activists, energy efficiency experts, environmentalists, consultants, numerous civil servants, 3 ethical stockbrokers, various engineers, Executive Directors, professional fundraisers, marine and wildlife biologists, an environmental technologist, a systems person, angel investors, foresters, researchers, bankers, landscapers, composters, sustainable energy experts, railway enthusiasts, journalists, media folk, public relations people and artisans of all stripes. \[b\] All participants have one thing in common: a passion for the environment, sustainability and social responsibility.

Almost every stereotype we associate with being elderly is something negative. In fact, according to some researchers, ageism is more pervasive and “accepted” than stereotypes based on gender, race or sexual orientation. We’d like to start de-bunking some of these misconceptions by creating positive, genuinely satisfying, realistic images of aging, in all its complexities, in addition to facilitating wide-reaching conversation about cross-cultural perceptions and experiences of aging. If you self-identify as a senior or are interested in the topic, please come and share your stories and experiences over these next two community sessions: **Thursday, June 13, 1pm – 4:30pm, Baumann Centre, POV, 925 Balmoral Rd.** Keynote Presentation: Valerie Le Blanc, British Columbia Law Institute + Canadian Centre for Elder Law Story Circles Facilitated by Theatre Director Lina de Guevara **Saturday, June 15, 1:30pm – 5pm, Cook St. Village Activity Centre, 380 Cook St.** Select community members will share how aging is perceived and valued from their cultural perspectives Story Circles Facilitated by Theatre Director Lina de Guevara Be a part of re-evaluating our community’s ageist attitudes. Help us adopt attitudes of respect and caring.The second phase of our project will involve in-depth interviews of selected seniors in our community whose profiles will be included in a book of images celebrating aging. **REGISTRATION REQUIRED** **Paulina Grainger, Manager – Arts + Community Engagement** **E: pgrainger@icavictoria.org P: 250.388.4728 ext. 138** |

| 362954158 | Nureyev | 2019-06-14 | 7:00 pm | 2019-06-14 | 8:49 pm | Cinema / Viewing Party | Administrator | Read-only | 2019-05-28 4:46 pm | 2019-05-28 4:56 pm | This finely crafted, impeccably researched documentary feels not so much timely as eternal. To see what it was that made Rudolf Nureyev onstage such a furious and transporting poet-of-the-body is to be at once moved and awed. Nureyev presents a great deal of dance footage that has never been seen before, and it’s a thrill to behold\\; nothing tells Nureyev’s story half as well as simply staring at him in his prime (in pieces choreographed by Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, and Murray Lewis, among others, as well as older footage from his Russian days). He rose rapidly, becoming a star in the Kirov company. After Kruschev came to power, the Soviets took a risk in sending the Kirov Ballet to Paris. The 23-year-old Nureyev was a free spirit who didn’t want to be told what to do. From the moment he defected, the Western world was beset by Nureyev-mania. He transformed the ballet into a blazing erotic spectacle, coaxing the sexual subtext to the surface and setting it aflame. Nureyev delivers Nureyev’s life in all its ecstasy and tragedy. As a documentary, it’s not definitive, but it’s good enough to leave you thrilled and haunted by this man who, at the height of his artistry, seemed to leap off the earth and leave it behind. –Variety “FOUR STARS!

| 362954160 | Nureyev | 2019-06-14 | 9:15 pm | 2019-06-14 | 11:04 pm | Cinema / Viewing Party | Administrator | Read-only | 2019-05-28 4:46 pm | 2019-05-28 5:33 pm | This finely crafted, impeccably researched documentary feels not so much timely as eternal. To see what it was that made Rudolf Nureyev onstage such a furious and transporting poet-of-the-body is to be at once moved and awed. Nureyev presents a great deal of dance footage that has never been seen before, and it’s a thrill to behold\\; nothing tells Nureyev’s story half as well as simply staring at him in his prime (in pieces choreographed by Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, and Murray Lewis, among others, as well as older footage from his Russian days). He rose rapidly, becoming a star in the Kirov company. After Kruschev came to power, the Soviets took a risk in sending the Kirov Ballet to Paris. The 23-year-old Nureyev was a free spirit who didn’t want to be told what to do. From the moment he defected, the Western world was beset by Nureyev-mania. He transformed the ballet into a blazing erotic spectacle, coaxing the sexual subtext to the surface and setting it aflame. Nureyev delivers Nureyev’s life in all its ecstasy and tragedy. As a documentary, it’s not definitive, but it’s good enough to leave you thrilled and haunted by this man who, at the height of his artistry, seemed to leap off the earth and leave it behind. –Variety “FOUR STARS!

Almost every stereotype we associate with being elderly is something negative. In fact, according to some researchers, ageism is more pervasive and “accepted” than stereotypes based on gender, race or sexual orientation. We’d like to start de-bunking some of these misconceptions by creating positive, genuinely satisfying, realistic images of aging, in all its complexities, in addition to facilitating wide-reaching conversation about cross-cultural perceptions and experiences of aging. If you self-identify as a senior or are interested in the topic, please come and share your stories and experiences over these next two community sessions: **Thursday, June 13, 1pm – 4:30pm, Baumann Centre, POV, 925 Balmoral Rd.** Keynote Presentation: Valerie Le Blanc, British Columbia Law Institute + Canadian Centre for Elder Law Story Circles Facilitated by Theatre Director Lina de Guevara **Saturday, June 15, 1:30pm – 5pm, Cook St. Village Activity Centre, 380 Cook St.** Select community members will share how aging is perceived and valued from their cultural perspectives Story Circles Facilitated by Theatre Director Lina de Guevara Be a part of re-evaluating our community’s ageist attitudes. Help us adopt attitudes of respect and caring.The second phase of our project will involve in-depth interviews of selected seniors in our community whose profiles will be included in a book of images celebrating aging. **REGISTRATION REQUIRED** **Paulina Grainger, Manager – Arts + Community Engagement** **E: pgrainger@icavictoria.org P: 250.388.4728 ext. 138** |

To see what it was that made Rudolf Nureyev onstage such a furious and transporting poet-of-the-body is to be at once moved and awed. Nureyev presents a great deal of dance footage that has never been seen before, and it’s a thrill to behold\\; nothing tells Nureyev’s story half as well as simply staring at him in his prime (in pieces choreographed by Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, and Murray Lewis, among others, as well as older footage from his Russian days). He rose rapidly, becoming a star in the Kirov company. After Kruschev came to power, the Soviets took a risk in sending the Kirov Ballet to Paris. The 23-year-old Nureyev was a free spirit who didn’t want to be told what to do. From the moment he defected, the Western world was beset by Nureyev-mania. He transformed the ballet into a blazing erotic spectacle, coaxing the sexual subtext to the surface and setting it aflame. Nureyev delivers Nureyev’s life in all its ecstasy and tragedy. As a documentary, it’s not definitive, but it’s good enough to leave you thrilled and haunted by this man who, at the height of his artistry, seemed to leap off the earth and leave it behind. –Variety “FOUR STARS!

Raw Meat is an opportunity for those who have never been out on skates, who are not so great on skates, and even those who are already fabulous on skates, to be introduced to roller derby! Are you a fan of playing smarter and not harder? Join our officiating crew! We have spots for on and off-skates officials. No experience necessary! At this info session you will hear from some of our players and officials and we'll tell you all about what you need to get started, plus we'll answer any burning questions that you may have for us. Join us at Logan's Pub and find out about all things derby! (info only, no skating required!) Bring a pen and paper, we'll be throwing a lotta info at you! \--------------------- All Gender Identities are welcome to go through our Raw and Fresh Meat programs, and stay as a volunteer, NSO, or official. However, once a skater is bench marked and ready to play, they must fall under the Eves of Destruction’s gender policy, which aligns with the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The policy states that an individual who identifies as a cis-gender woman, a trans woman, intersex woman, and/or gender expansive may skate with the league if women’s flat track roller derby is the version and composition of roller derby with which they most closely identify. This program, and our adult teams, are for skaters 19+. However, if you, or someone you know, is under the age of 19 and interested in Roller Derby, they can contact the Eves of Destruction Junior team, The Rotten Apples. The Apples take new skaters all year long and are a gender-inclusive team, meaning all gender identities are welcome to join the team :) Email eodrotten.apples@gmail.com Want to get in on the roller derby action but can't make it to this info session? Email us at eodfreshmeat@gmail.com and we'll give you all the details on joining us! Again, this is just an INFO session, Raw Meat will be starting in July 2019, so you've got time to get organized ;) <https://www.facebook.com/events/520236158514010/> |

High Life is a work of dystopian science fiction, unsettling by design: The facility that houses Monte, Dr. Dibs and the other prisoner-subjects (they include André Benjamin) is a drab, cube-like structure, floating dismally through space. But in Denis’s vision—and as shot by cinematographer Yorick Le Saux—it’s an image of stark, lonely beauty, a metaphor for the desolation felt by the misfits locked inside. High Life is a chilly, ruminative film, brilliant if not exactly likable. But Pattinson, the movie’s thumping heart, is superb: his face alone is a star map of tenderness, suspicion and ruthlessness. In this sometimes alienating movie, he lays a trail for us to follow, sticking close by our side right to the end. –Time Magazine “Claire Denis is one of our greatest living filmmakers, but if you’re new to her work, the elliptical syntax and dreamlike intensity of her filmmaking might well leave you feeling perplexed—or seduced, or a queasy mix of both.” –The Los Angeles Times UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

While no two TBIs are alike, certain after effects are common: exhaustion, lack of focus, short term memory loss, emotional lability, lack of inhibition leading to socially inappropriate behaviour, inability to concentrate and/or follow instruction, mood swings, depression, hearing voices... And they take their toll. Derrick suffered his first concussions as a young boy who loved to box, but it was head injury from a car accident that assured his downward spiral into addictions and crime. According to recent surveys, 60-80% of the prison population and 53% of the homeless have suffered brain injuries. After brain injury, 90% of marriages end in divorce, ‘self- medication’ though substance abuse is rampant and the suicide rate increases fourfold. The resulting cost to society is immeasurable. And yet once the brain injury survivor leaves hospital there is very little help out there. Following Derrick’s inspiring story and those of other brain injury survivors, *A Change of Mind* demonstrates how broken lives can be re-built and damaged brains refreshed, through new approaches to helping survivors, through science and through a change in societal attitudes and legal reforms. “We can pay now to help survivors of brain injury – or pay so much later”. **Limited Seating Available.** **Location: Fine Arts Building** **Room: FIA 103** **Parking: Lot 6** **Doors open for seating at 2:45 pm.** **For more information or questions, contact Tori Woodford at [vwoodford@cridge.org ](mailto:vwoodford@cridge.org)** **<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/a-change-of-mind-documentary-screening-tickets-62318593591>** |

In this sometimes alienating movie, he lays a trail for us to follow, sticking close by our side right to the end. –Time Magazine “Claire Denis is one of our greatest living filmmakers, but if you’re new to her work, the elliptical syntax and dreamlike intensity of her filmmaking might well leave you feeling perplexed—or seduced, or a queasy mix of both.” –The Los Angeles Times UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

These meetings are intended to collect public commentary related to the barriers and opportunities faced by society, in our transition away from fossil fuel heating, transportation fuels and other greenhouse gas sources. The City’s policies will set new directions to enable a rapid transition to highly efficient, renewably powered buildings, vehicles, industry and services. Climate action requires bold and urgent action in a manner that delivers benefits across several other important community objectives, such as housing availability, affordability, mobility, equity, health and well-being. The City wants to hear all stakeholders’ points-of-view. Stakeholder input will help the City understand and balance the needs of community with the urgency of climate action. The City aims to take accelerated action to reach our greenhouse gas (GHG) and renewable energy commitments, while transforming our City into a more healthy, livable, vibrant and low-carbon community. The third Town Hall will focus on – ***low carbon mobility alternatives and innovative solutions for moving around the city***. Transportation activities make up the second largest source of GHG emissions. This session will focus on the importance of electric vehicle alternatives, active transportation and behavioural mode shift through emerging mobility options. You are invited to address City Council on Friday, June 21 to share your perspectives, your thoughts, the barriers you face, your concerns, your ideas and your proposed solutions. These comments will be considered by staff and Council in shaping the City’s policies and strategies related to climate change. Online submissions will be accepted if you are unable to attend in person. Please come and contribute to the climate dialogue! **How to participate**: 1. Request to speak at Town Hall #3 – email <sustainability@victoria.ca> to register. 2. Attend Town Hall #3 in person (speaking not required) – RSVP to <sustainability@victoria.ca>. 3. Submit your comments online via email to <sustainability@victoria.ca>.

The Om Work Project acknowledges barriers to accessing yoga in the community and aspires to create and support opportunities for people to connect with this practice. The Om Work Project team will be co-teaching a 60 minute gentle all-levels yoga practice (no experience necessary) outside in the courtyard of Market Square. The class is by donation (if you have the means to contribute, any dollar amount will be accepted) and you can make your contribution in person or visit our website: <https://www.theomworkproject.com/donate>. Long before it was International Yoga Day, June 21st marked National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day for Canadians to recognize, celebrate and honour the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21st, the summer solstice, for National Indigenous Peoples Day. We are privileged to practice and learn on this land. The Om Work Project is grateful for the generous support from lululemon Victoria through the Here to Be Program which has supported opportunities to host events such as this. Please join us for a movement practice from 11-12pm and stay for refreshments, connection and to learn more about The Om Work Project. |

Their recent music, however, also melds aspects of a wide range of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, soul, and blues. Hill released his debut album, *New Gospel*, in 2011, followed by *Sounds of the City* in 2012 and *The Poet* in 2013. In 2014, Hill gained even further acclaim by winning the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute’s International Jazz Competition. As evidenced by 2016’s *The Way We Play*, Hill’s beat-conscious music evokes the spirits of Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis and inhabits the same sonic universe as Erykah Badu, Kendrick Lamar, Sly Stone, and even George Clinton. On this album, Hill fronts a commanding ensemble, bringing his lyrically postmodern groove to jazz classics. A previous performer with such luminaries as Kurt Elling and Joe Lovano, this wickedly accomplished musician brings Blacktet to Victoria for the first time. $42 Tickets and more information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/jazz-fest/event/marquis-hill-blacktet> Volunteer information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/society/volunteers> |

| 372068797 | National Association of Japanese Canadians BC Redress Community Consultation | 2019-06-22 | 11:00 am | 2019-06-22 | 1:00 pm | Education / Civics / Business & Tech | Read-only | 2019-06-09 7:49 am | JAPANESE CANADIANS SEEK REDRESS WITH PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Over 60 years of racist legislation and discrimination in British Columbia (BC) culminated in the province’s critical role in the forced removal, internment, confiscation of property, and forced exile of 22,000 Japanese Canadians during 1942 to 1949. Recent research shows the BC government and its officials were complicit directly and indirectly in the unjust actions leading to the devastation of the Japanese Canadian community. The Government of British Columbia’s official Apology Motion to Japanese Canadians in 2012 was issued without prior community-wide participation. It did not formally assume responsibility for past injustices and was not followed by redress or legacy initiatives at the time, which many saw as a missed opportunity for meaningful follow-up and healing. In June 2019, the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) will conduct a series of Japanese Canadian community consultation meetings across BC to provide community members a voice in offering recommendations for redress and legacy initiatives to the Government of British Columbia. The consultations will identify new opportunities to make visible the history of injustice, support the sustainability of the Japanese Canadian community, and highlight the contributions of Japanese Canadians to creating a just and prosperous society for all. Though there is only a dwindling number of victims directly affected by internment, the NAJC and Japanese Canadian community members strongly believe that it is a critical time to capture their voices and experiences. Through this process, Japanese Canadians want to ensure that the Government of British Columbia assumes greater responsibility for these injustices and builds a new relationship based on a mutual commitment to an inclusive and equitable province. The NAJC acknowledges the Government of British Columbia’s interest in resolving its outstanding historic wrongs. At the conclusion of these meetings, the NAJC will collate the inputs and present the Government of British Columbia with its recommendations. Achieving justice and closure to this dark chapter in BC’s history will signify a most meaningful outcome for all British Columbians, and indeed Canadians more widely, to ensure this injustice is never again committed in Canada. <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/najc-bc-redress-community-consultation-victoria-bc-tickets-62116721787> |

Chock full of awesomeness, the Summer Solstice Garden Party, which is part AGM, part community celebration and part silent auction, is sure to deliver the goods during a packed weekend. Heck, with all the fun things going on around the city, we might as well call it a city-wide Summer Solstice Festival! At the Compost Education Centre, located at 1216 North Park, we will hold our Annual General Meeting from 11-12. Here, members in good standing can vote on issues important to our organization and learn about the CEC’s extraordinary accomplishments in 2018. AGM attendees are automatically entered to win a door prize, and also receive a free meal ticket for our afternoon bbq in the garden! (Yep, we’re bribing you to show up for an important meeting.) Following the AGM, at 12 and 2pm, our Site Manager, Kayla, will lead interactive site tours. Not gonna be here at 11 for our AGM, or not familiar with our site? Never fear, volunteers at Fernfest’s Field of Dreams will be waiting to guide folks to our Teaching Gardens, and signage around the neighborhood will point you in the right direction. During these 30 minute Site Tours guests will learn through sight, smell, touch and taste about our Teaching Gardens and multifaceted educational programming. From 12:30-2:30 we’ll be serving up bbq eats and ice cold drinks by donation; simultaneously we will be hosting our annual silent auction in our Strawbale Classroom. Auction items are comprised of donations from an array of local businesses, from swanky restaurants, to useful gardening supplies, and those much needed self-care gift cards! So come, celebrate the fruits of our garden (and our labor), relax and visit in the garden with good music, good food and good company while supporting the Compost Education Centre’s commitment to accessible education, environmental sustainability, and, undoubtedly, composting. Whether you’re a longtime friend of the Compost Education Centre or a first time visitor we would love to have you!

Iyengar is famously reclusive, little is known about the man who invented this powerful practice…until now!

Primarily a jazz artist with contemporary flair, McCaslin, who performed at TD JazzFest 2017, has recently moved from an acoustic to an electric sound. With Bowie’s encouragement, McCaslin dug deeper and cast wider, ultimately embracing a more diverse approach integrating the most adventurous aspects of contemporary rock, art-pop, and electronica. His shapeshifting vision has matured effectively on Blow, McCaslin’s impressive 2018 release. He performs with Ryan Dahle vocals, Zach Danziger drums, Jason Lindner keyboards, Tim Lefebvre bass. $35 Tickets and more information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/jazz-fest/event/donny-mccaslin> Volunteer information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/society/volunteers>[](https://victoriaeventcentre.ca/support/volunteer/) <https://victoriaeventcentre.ca/support/volunteer/> |

Preparing for a touring exhibition to premiere in Washington DC, he now heads back on an expedition to complete his vision. But much has changed since he first went North. Shrinking sea ice is opening the door to a world hungry for its resources. Remoteness can no longer protect this land or its people from the coming impacts. For 9 weeks and 25,000 kilometres, Cory immerses himself into the Arctic. Explores with Inuit elders. Paddles the most northerly canoe route in North America. Walks in the footsteps of early explorers John Rae and John Franklin. Voyages through the Northwest Passage. And deeply connects with a changing land, to bring it to the eyes of those who may never see it. With the future of the North at a crossroads, can a simple stick and some bristle paint the Arctic into the hearts and minds of others, so far away? Doors open at 6 p.m. and the film will start at 7 p.m. Following the 75-minute screening there will be a Q&A with Cory Trépanier. $20 Tickets: <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/into-the-arctic-film-screening-tickets-62679921332> |

Iyengar is famously reclusive, little is known about the man who invented this powerful practice…until now! Thanks to exclusive, intimate access to this legendary yogi, this documentary is able to showcase the profound spirituality embedded in his practice, which has led religions around the world to incorporate Iyengar Yoga into their ritual observances.

Her latest album, The Ballad of the Runaway Girl, was nominated for a 2019 JUNO Award for “Indigenous Music Album of the Year”, and it’s the musical tale of an expatriate Inuk. The Canadian pop singer, broadcaster, documentary filmmaker and activist was born in Salluit, Quebec to an Inuk mother and a father from Newfoundland. Isaac collaborated with instrumentalist Alain Auger in the musical project Taima (Inuktitut for “that’s all” or “it is done”) in the early 2000s. The band’s sole album, Taima, won the 2005 JUNO Award for “Aboriginal Recording of the Year.” Now, Isaac offers her soulful music as she tenderly looks back on her heritage, telling her own story while making aboriginal musical classics shine. Her new album goes back to her roots, with both soft and raw moments and her very own mix of Inuktitut, English and French, unveiling the woman behind the music.[](https://downtownvictoria.ca/event/td-jazzfest-2019-elisapie-at-victoria-event-centre/) $29 Tickets and more information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/jazz-fest/event/elisapie> Volunteer information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/society/volunteers>[](https://victoriaeventcentre.ca/support/volunteer/) <https://victoriaeventcentre.ca/support/volunteer/> |

He became an overnight sensation when Wynton Marsalis invited him to play at Jazz at Lincoln Centre at age 11, closely followed by a CBS *60 Minutes* feature alongside Marsalis in 2016. By the age of 14, Alexander had released two Grammy-nominated CDs. These days, although still just a teenager, he continues to evolve by leaps and bounds. His 2017 release *Joey.Monk.Live!* was remarkable for its sophistication, while his newest CD, *Eclipse*, shows off his powerful gifts as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. Even the critics and festival bookers normally skeptical of young prodigies are won over by the musical maturity underlying Alexander’s extraordinary technical facility. He celebrates his 16th birthday at his debut performance in Victoria $58.50 & $43.50 Tickets and more information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/jazz-fest/event/joey-alexander-trio> Volunteer information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/society/volunteers> |

At the barnstorm, Rethinking Economics Victoria facilitated a discussion on how to reform – or, maybe *transform* is a better word – our economy, and what a discussion it was! The group we facilitated thought way bigger than we expected, and some fantastic ideas emerged about where to start in shaping an economy that works for us – real people who have been working for the economy. We decided to meet again a week later to keep this discussion going and get a plan in the works. Not everyone who was at the barnstorm will be able to attend this meeting, which is unfortunate, but no one will be kept out of the loop! This meeting is open to everyone, not just those who were at the barnstorm, and please bring a friend! This space is booked for 2 hours, but feel free to drop in even if you can only stay for some time or can only attend later in the evening. <https://creativelyunited.org/event/green-new-deal-victoria-economic-transformation-meeting/> |

With strength and authenticity, filmmaker Tasha Hubbard bears witness to a tragic story that traces back through centuries of injustice and colonial violence endured by First Nations peoples.

Incorporating flamenco rumba, jazz, and other forms into his many albums, Cook is widely considered to be one of the most influential figures in the “nuevo flamenco” guitar style. On his albums, and in concert, Cook explores the roots of flamenco, and its many offshoots, from India to Spain, and on to Cuba and Latin America. He has released ten genre-defying albums, garnering eleven JUNO nominations – and one win, in 2001 for Free Fall – in the World Music and Instrumental categories. Among his many other awards, he is also a three-time winner of the Canadian Smooth Jazz award for Guitarist of the Year. PBS recently broadcasted Jesse Cook: Beyond Borders, the latest concert special by the acoustic guitar virtuoso, which was filmed over the 31 days of his coast-to-coast tour of Canada.

Colten Boushie, a young Cree man from Saskatchewan, was killed by a bullet on Gerald Stanley’s farm in 2016. After the RCMP investigation and trial, Stanley was found not guilty of second-degree murder. The jury’s verdict drew national attention and a public outcry advocating for reforms to the Canadian legal system. With strength and authenticity, filmmaker Tasha Hubbard bears witness to a tragic story that traces back through centuries of injustice and colonial violence endured by First Nations peoples. Reflecting on her own family connections to Indigenous and settler histories, Hubbard faithfully follows the Boushie family’s pursuit of justice all the way to the United Nations. Drawing together the present and past, Hubbard crafts an urgent and powerful film that demands not only our attention, but our action. –Hot Docs UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

This time it will be held at Uvic, in the David Strong building. Before the event I'll make sure to provide clear instructions on how to find the your way if you're not familiar with UVic. (scroll down to see a map) I will be screening some of my old films in addition to the new one,, and will be selling stills, prints etc. To buy tickets, send an e-transfer to irisLmoore@gmail.com. Tickets are by donation, (suggested $1-$30, pay what works for you). The name you send the transfer under will be the name I put down for your entry, (there will be no physical tickets, just a name list) if you don't receive notification that I've accepted your transfer, shoot me a message to confirm that it got to me! About the artist and the film: For those who don't know, I am an artist and animator living in Victoria BC. I make short stop-motion films by hand, using watercolour and paper cut-outs. My films share stories meant to touch the heart and inspire the mind. "The Evening Thread" tells the story of a woman who reflects on her life as she prepares to die. The film is intended to encourage reflection on the role of death in our lives, and to highlight the profound experience of living a life that is impermanent. You can see my work at [www.irisLmoore.com](http://www.irislmoore.com/) Big thanks to Canada Council, who provided the majority of funding for this film! Finding the building: Here's a map!

And that’s saying something. His talent shines in this look at the early life of ballet great Rudolf Nureyev, up to and including his defection from Russia and the Kirov Ballet at the Paris airport in 1961. He was 23. White Crow is not a biopic. It’s an impressionistic glimpse at the forces driving Nureyev—something of a diva even then—to accept no borders or limits in letting his artistry run free. Working from a potent script by noted playwright and screenwriter David Hare, Fiennes gives his period drama a present-tense urgency that draws us into the life of Nureyev in the fascinating act of inventing himself. Ukranian dancer Oleg Ivenko, a soloist at the Jalil Tatar Ballet Theater, brings just the right note of youthful energy and sexual swagger to the role, his eyes alert to every challenge and perceived threat. Part thriller, part meditation on life and art, part portrait of a man on a tightrope, The White Crow may be juggling more themes than it can handle. But Fiennes makes the result a thing of bruising beauty and an exhilarating gift. –Rolling Stone "LOVELY, ELEGANT, IMPRESSIVE. A CLASSY -- AND RESPECTFULLY SEXY -- NIGHT AT THE MOVIES." --Variety “A richly textured drama that very nearly reincarnates the legendary artist and the Cold War era from which he sprang.” –Chicago Reader UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

His 2016 album, In My Room, won 2 Grammys and a Jazz FM Award. This album led to collaborations and performances with Herbie Hancock, and Pharrell, as well as a TED Talk, a BBC Proms concert and more. In January 2018, Collier wrote Djesse, a universal wonder featuring contributions from a global cast of Collier’s musical inspirations. It is one of the most audacious recording projects to emerge this decade from someone who is already established as one of music’s most brazen new minds. Jacob Collier doesn’t merely embrace globalism; he lives it, sings it, arranges for it through songs that fight for something—music and its power to remind us of the connections we all share, the humanity of being alive at all. He last played solo at TD JazzFest 2017, but is joined this time by a band for an awe-inspiring performance that is sure to both dazzle and electrify. $58.50 & $43.50 Tickets and more information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/jazz-fest/event/evening-jacob-collier-0> Volunteer information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/society/volunteers> |

And that’s saying something. His talent shines in this look at the early life of ballet great Rudolf Nureyev, up to and including his defection from Russia and the Kirov Ballet at the Paris airport in 1961. He was 23. White Crow is not a biopic. It’s an impressionistic glimpse at the forces driving Nureyev—something of a diva even then—to accept no borders or limits in letting his artistry run free. Working from a potent script by noted playwright and screenwriter David Hare, Fiennes gives his period drama a present-tense urgency that draws us into the life of Nureyev in the fascinating act of inventing himself. Ukranian dancer Oleg Ivenko, a soloist at the Jalil Tatar Ballet Theater, brings just the right note of youthful energy and sexual swagger to the role, his eyes alert to every challenge and perceived threat. Part thriller, part meditation on life and art, part portrait of a man on a tightrope, The White Crow may be juggling more themes than it can handle. But Fiennes makes the result a thing of bruising beauty and an exhilarating gift. –Rolling Stone "LOVELY, ELEGANT, IMPRESSIVE. A CLASSY -- AND RESPECTFULLY SEXY -- NIGHT AT THE MOVIES." --Variety “A richly textured drama that very nearly reincarnates the legendary artist and the Cold War era from which he sprang.” –Chicago Reader UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

The artists in this exhibition explore — and speculate upon — early encounters and interactions between Indigenous peoples and Chinese communities that settled on Vancouver Island. While little historical and archaeological evidence exists to support the legend of Fusang, this exhibition draws on this legend as an allegory to re-consider the terms of cross-cultural relations. Exhibition runs until Sept 15 , 2019 <https://www.facebook.com/events/635271790315388/> |

And that’s saying something. His talent shines in this look at the early life of ballet great Rudolf Nureyev, up to and including his defection from Russia and the Kirov Ballet at the Paris airport in 1961. He was 23. White Crow is not a biopic. It’s an impressionistic glimpse at the forces driving Nureyev—something of a diva even then—to accept no borders or limits in letting his artistry run free. Working from a potent script by noted playwright and screenwriter David Hare, Fiennes gives his period drama a present-tense urgency that draws us into the life of Nureyev in the fascinating act of inventing himself. Ukranian dancer Oleg Ivenko, a soloist at the Jalil Tatar Ballet Theater, brings just the right note of youthful energy and sexual swagger to the role, his eyes alert to every challenge and perceived threat. Part thriller, part meditation on life and art, part portrait of a man on a tightrope, The White Crow may be juggling more themes than it can handle. But Fiennes makes the result a thing of bruising beauty and an exhilarating gift. –Rolling Stone "LOVELY, ELEGANT, IMPRESSIVE. A CLASSY -- AND RESPECTFULLY SEXY -- NIGHT AT THE MOVIES." --Variety “A richly textured drama that very nearly reincarnates the legendary artist and the Cold War era from which he sprang.” –Chicago Reader UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

The Kora, a 21-stringed African harp, belongs exclusively to Griot families, and only those who are born into one of these families have the right to take up the instrument professionally. Breaking away from tradition, Jobarteh is a pioneer in an ancient male-dominated hereditary tradition that has been exclusively handed down from father to son for the past seven centuries. Reputed for her skill as an instrumentalist, distinctive voice, infectious melodies and her grace onstage, Jobarteh has rapidly risen to international success following the release of her critically acclaimed album *Fasiya* in 2011. In recent years, Jobarteh has headlined major festivals around the world in Brazil, India, South Korea, Ghana, Mexico, Tanzania, Cote D’Ivoire, Lithuania, Poland and Malaysia, just to name a few. Sona Jobarteh and her music have the unique ability to touch audiences from all backgrounds and cultures. $35 Tickets and more information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/jazz-fest/event/sona-jobarteh> Volunteer information: <https://jazzvictoria.ca/society/volunteers> |

A cinematic memoir of once-in-a-decade emotional precision and ambition, Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir does many things so exquisitely it’s hard to know where to begin. Hogg, a veteran British director with a distinctly intimate style, graduated from film school in the 1980s. Now, completing a cosmic circle, Hogg casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, to play an autobiographical version of herself as a young film student awakening to the pleasures and heartaches of early ’80s London. (Mama Swinton is on hand too, as Hogg’s elegant, concerned mother.) To watch Swinton-Byrne’s 24-year-old Julie—angelically innocent, soft in voice, curious, a touch embarrassed by her Knightsbridge privilege—is to make the kind of immediate heart-to-heart connection with an actor that only the movies can broker. Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

One of Victoria Pride’s signature events, the Memorial Drag Ball Game traces its roots back to 1993 when a group of friends decided to hang out in a park, play ball… and do drag. The intention was to have a break from politics, commercialism and sponsorship while poking fun at themselves. What began as a fun day with friends has turned into a spectacle that draws up to 1000 spectators. Come out and enjoy a perfect sunny day while watching (or playing) a fun and lighthearted game of ball in drag! Please help keep the air clear for everyone by respecting the city bylaw against smoking in parks. WANT TO JOIN THE GAME? Everyone is welcome to play! Simply choose whether you’d like to play for The Queens or The Kings and pick a name for your drag persona. To qualify, the Queens traditionally need to be wearing lipstick and a wig and the Kings traditionally need to have facial hair… but since drag is all about gender-bending we are flexible! We’ll also have some items for you to borrow should you need some assistance! If you’re planning to play, please arrive early so that you have enough time to check-in.

Victoria BC has shared in that legacy going back at least 25 years, and we are proud to present three artists, originally from Victoria, who made significant contributions to the development of a local and regional ambient music scene during the 1990s, and are still active as producers, DJs and event promoters in Vancouver. BINHEX - aka Nicole Goodman HASSELHOFF - aka Quentin Rogers Quentin and Nicole are best known for opening Victoria's first dedicated electronic music retail outlet, Temple of Sound, in June 1994. Prior to the shop, however, they had already hosted ambient events in February of that year, and continued with a residency at Java Coffeehouse called Gravity. Quentin and Nicole moved to Vancouver in 1995, and have continued to DJ, produce, and host ambient music events to this day.

She continued running the ambient music weekly at Java, while also producing her own radio show on CFUV and DJ’ing techno throughout the island and lower mainland. Sabrina moved to Toronto in 1998 to study audio engineering at the Harris Institute, returning to BC in the mid-2000s. You can find her tracks on Woodwork Recordings, ADSR Collective, Coldwave Records, and Urban Arts Berlin. Sabrina live set from Wonderment 2017 (Sidney BC)... <https://soundcloud.com/sabrinadzugalo/glass-beach> TANGO LIMA Rounding out this edition of Wonderment is Tango Lima, aka Trevor Lang.

In 2012, Design Canada began with a genuine curiosity about where the designs and symbols of Canada originated from. Director (and graphic designer) Greg Durrell began shooting the film on a Canon 7D. A year later, Greg met Jessica Edwards, a Canadian filmmaker living in Brooklyn and Gary Hustwit. The team spent 5 years crafting the Design Canada story. You'll meet the people who care intensely about the images that represent us (like our flag) and the filmmakers who care too. Made with the kind of determination, and beery budget that our filmmakers are famous for, this is the perfect film for Canada Day.

A cinematic memoir of once-in-a-decade emotional precision and ambition, Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir does many things so exquisitely it’s hard to know where to begin. Hogg, a veteran British director with a distinctly intimate style, graduated from film school in the 1980s. Now, completing a cosmic circle, Hogg casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, to play an autobiographical version of herself as a young film student awakening to the pleasures and heartaches of early ’80s London. (Mama Swinton is on hand too, as Hogg’s elegant, concerned mother.) To watch Swinton-Byrne’s 24-year-old Julie—angelically innocent, soft in voice, curious, a touch embarrassed by her Knightsbridge privilege—is to make the kind of immediate heart-to-heart connection with an actor that only the movies can broker. Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

Hogg, a veteran British director with a distinctly intimate style, graduated from film school in the 1980s. Now, completing a cosmic circle, Hogg casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, to play an autobiographical version of herself as a young film student awakening to the pleasures and heartaches of early ’80s London. (Mama Swinton is on hand too, as Hogg’s elegant, concerned mother.) To watch Swinton-Byrne’s 24-year-old Julie—angelically innocent, soft in voice, curious, a touch embarrassed by her Knightsbridge privilege—is to make the kind of immediate heart-to-heart connection with an actor that only the movies can broker. Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

Hogg, a veteran British director with a distinctly intimate style, graduated from film school in the 1980s. Now, completing a cosmic circle, Hogg casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, to play an autobiographical version of herself as a young film student awakening to the pleasures and heartaches of early ’80s London. (Mama Swinton is on hand too, as Hogg’s elegant, concerned mother.) To watch Swinton-Byrne’s 24-year-old Julie—angelically innocent, soft in voice, curious, a touch embarrassed by her Knightsbridge privilege—is to make the kind of immediate heart-to-heart connection with an actor that only the movies can broker. Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

Hogg, a veteran British director with a distinctly intimate style, graduated from film school in the 1980s. Now, completing a cosmic circle, Hogg casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, to play an autobiographical version of herself as a young film student awakening to the pleasures and heartaches of early ’80s London. (Mama Swinton is on hand too, as Hogg’s elegant, concerned mother.) To watch Swinton-Byrne’s 24-year-old Julie—angelically innocent, soft in voice, curious, a touch embarrassed by her Knightsbridge privilege—is to make the kind of immediate heart-to-heart connection with an actor that only the movies can broker. Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

Just gauging interest for the time being. This will hopefully end up being the first meeting of a new book club. \* \* \* A space for everyone interested in deepening their understanding of Islam. Non-Muslims welcome! In today's political climate, there is a lot of misinformation on Islam. This group hopes to bridge the gap between Muslims and non-Muslims by providing a space for everyone to discuss Islam and its place in today's world. Group will explore the religion through a number of books on the topic (written by scholars, both Muslim and not) discussing everything from human rights in Islam to biographies of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). What does Islam teach? What is jihad? How does Islam compare to Christianity and Judaism? Do women have rights in Islam? How does Sharia law work? For non-Muslims, this is an opportunity to ask questions about Islam without judgement. For Muslims, this is an opportunity to deepen your own understanding of Islam yourself, after all: "The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim." (Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 74) All books will be accessible free of charge. |

For such a little word, inside holds much: it is laden with possibilities of privilege and belonging, but these depend upon its opposite – outside – and the borders, walls, and modes of thinking built to keep the right people inside and the wrong people out. BOXCARSIX will alter the gallery to create a new space - a new inside - within which the visitor will be able to experience and re-consider notions of belonging – in our bodies, in our domestic spaces and even the urban and industrial landscapes in which we live. Using household and industrial materials, juxtaposing hard and soft, the installation will create a bodily experience of inside, one that resonates personally and joins in the wider dialogue regarding who decides what it means to be inside. <https://www.boxcarsixartistcollective.com/> <http://ministryofcasualliving.ca/> |

The project considers indigenous plants, as well as the invasive species that have adapted to a new life, far away from home. In the future, as we cope with climate change and increased migration, we will have to deeply reconsider the food that can nourish us, physically, and emotionally. Every culture has its dumpling. During the workshop, participants will be making Chinese-style dumplings. Participants will learn a variety of dumpling folds, hear stories of migration, and leave with an adaptable recipe card for vegetarian fillings. During the discussion, participants will dialogue around food and race while enjoying dumplings. <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/what-artists-bring-to-the-table-amanda-huynh-tickets-62953382261> The workshop is free, but registration is required as attendance is limited. If Eventbrite is not an accessible way of registration for you, please phone Regan Shrumm at 250-384-4171 x 220, or email at <rshrumm@aggv.ca> to register. \-- Running from July to November, *What Artists Bring to the Table* is a food series exploring the artistic practices of cultivating and cooking food. The series central theme is how food is both a political act, as through eating we are supporting different systems, and a cultural act, which can both reaffirm one’s own identity, but also assist us to see other’s worldviews. Each event will feature two components: a hands-on workshop, where participants will work with the artist to make a food product, and a discussion, where participants will have a larger conversation about food while sampling the food from the workshop. \-- Oaklands Community Centre is on a ground-level floor, with no stairs throughout the building. There are four single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms, two of which are wheelchair accessible and one offering a baby change table. The Centre offers ample free street parking and is on the #4 bus route, with the closest stop being at Hillside and Gosworth. Bus tickets are available. |

After the drinks are poured and the music is turned up, the evening slowly exposes the fault lines beneath their friendships and the self-inflicted heartache that threatens their solidarity. This play reading of The Boys in the Band is directed by Stuart Aikins and features Victoria’s local talents (artists to be released soon!). Proceeds from ticket sales support the Victoria Pride Society. The play premiered Off-Broadway in 1968 and was revived on Broadway for its 50th anniversary in 2018 starring Matt Bomer, Zachary Quinto, and Andrew Rannels.

The urban environment is part of nature, both impacted by the landscape around it and with profound effects on surrounding lands and waters, as well as on the lives of their inhabitants. With 68% of global population projected to be living in urban centres by 2050, our cities are the global engines of culture, creativity and economic innovation, yet they are also often cold, alienating and unsustainable. Can we bring the warmth and deep relatedness of the village to the urban streets, and still keep the excitement and magic of urban living, all while bringing our world back into balance with the nature that surrounds us? How can we regenerate our cities, our human ecosytems, economies, social interactions, and human nature? How can we do so with an emphasis on culture building being core to our being, not allowing ourselves to be thrown off of our core integrity and purpose, while we also have to respond to what is throwing the world out of balance? This is the way to keep becoming stronger, more connected with each other, more resilient as our love for each other and the world grows more dear and fierce. Join us IN PERSON or ONLINE for this panel presentation and community dialogue featuring an array of the west coast’s leading changemakers! 400 Herald Street, Victoria (behind Value Village) Sliding Scale – $10-$30, you choose Limited seating so RSVP is required.

Hogg, a veteran British director with a distinctly intimate style, graduated from film school in the 1980s. Now, completing a cosmic circle, Hogg casts Tilda Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, to play an autobiographical version of herself as a young film student awakening to the pleasures and heartaches of early ’80s London. (Mama Swinton is on hand too, as Hogg’s elegant, concerned mother.) To watch Swinton-Byrne’s 24-year-old Julie—angelically innocent, soft in voice, curious, a touch embarrassed by her Knightsbridge privilege—is to make the kind of immediate heart-to-heart connection with an actor that only the movies can broker. Anthony (Tom Burke, wryly funny while charting a devastating descent), enters into Julie’s life, first as a worldly adviser and spouter of pretentious come-ons, then as a sharer of books and a bed. Swinton-Byrne and Burke are magnificent, tender and exposed, and though we flinch protectively for the teller of this tale, Hogg turns her story into a gift of empathy. A sequel is already in the works\\; when it arrives, you’ll still be wrecked by this one. While it’s unspooling, The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world—the only one that matters. –Time Out New York “FOUR STARS” –The Guardian “THE BEST KIND OF FINE ART: HEARTBREAKING, SOPHISTICATED AND DEEPLY CINEMATIC ALL AT ONCE.” --The Wrap “ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR” --A.O.

After the drinks are poured and the music is turned up, the evening slowly exposes the fault lines beneath their friendships and the self-inflicted heartache that threatens their solidarity. This play reading of *The Boys in the Band* is directed by Stuart Aikins and features Victoria’s local talents (artists to be released soon!). **Proceeds from ticket sales support the Victoria Pride Society.** **$20** **<https://intrepidtheatre.com/shows/the-boys-in-the-band/>** Presented by The House of Gabor, in partnership with Intrepid Theatre (OUTstages Festival / UNO Fest/ Fringe Festival). The play premiered Off-Broadway in 1968 and was revived on Broadway for its 50th anniversary in 2018 starring Matt Bomer, Zachary Quinto, and Andrew Rannels. *Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc.* ACCESS: The Metro Studio is wheelchair accessible and has two all-gender washrooms and a wheelchair accessible washroom on the ground floor. Street Parking. Bike Racks in front and behind the venue. The venue accepts cash and card (for concession and at-door ticket sales) For more information: 250-383-2663 |

For most of the felons in an isolated prison in the Nevada desert, the American west is a dead end—particularly for a moody violent offender played by Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone). But the prison shrink (Connie Britton) and the grizzled cowpoke in charge of an inmate work program (Bruce Dern) see something in him, and the convict joins a crew to tame wild mustangs, going toe to toe with a horse that has a harder head than his own. Cinematographer Ruben Impens deftly plays with light and shadow to deliver one gorgeous image after another, such as a blood-orange sunrise filtered through blowing sand, and galloping equines that could be lifted from a Grecian urn. This film was developed at Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute lab for emerging talent\\; he certainly found one in French actress Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, here making an impressive feature directorial debut. –Chicago Reader UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

But the prison shrink (Connie Britton) and the grizzled cowpoke in charge of an inmate work program (Bruce Dern) see something in him, and the convict joins a crew to tame wild mustangs, going toe to toe with a horse that has a harder head than his own. Cinematographer Ruben Impens deftly plays with light and shadow to deliver one gorgeous image after another, such as a blood-orange sunrise filtered through blowing sand, and galloping equines that could be lifted from a Grecian urn. This film was developed at Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute lab for emerging talent\\; he certainly found one in French actress Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, here making an impressive feature directorial debut. –Chicago Reader UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

Open to all skill levels, whether your an experienced freestyler or you've never done it before come join rap with us in a fun and supportive environment. Or come to listen! Every other Sunday at 3 pm at Central Park we'll be meeting up. We will be freestyling in a circle format, going around and giving everyone a chance to freestyle. We won't be counting bars, but we will be making sure that time is managed effectively so everybody gets an appropriate amount of time. If there is a lot of people we will take shorter turns, if there is a smaller amount of people we will be able to take longer terms. And if someone is really diving deep into something they will have the time they need to let it all out. We will be working to cultivate a space where everyone can feel supported in expressing themselves authentically, freestyling about any emotions or thoughts that they are dealing with, while at the same time being respectful. We will also be make an effort to cultivate a space where everyone is empowered and uplifted. While at the same time having fun!

Victoria’s high real estate prices mean young families who do buy in live with worrying debt loads. Forest fires, smoky summers, flooding and increasingly extreme weather frighten many of us. Many employers and unions are working to understand rising levels of anxiety and stress in their workplaces. What used to be seen as simple pleasures in life like a healthy breakfast or a visit with a loved one carry the complexity of associated high carbon footprints. Greater Victoria Acting Together (GVAT) has pledged to act together on housing and mental health through the lenses of Climate Change and Reconciliation. Sierra Club BC is a member of GVAT and we are committed to exploring the intersection of these issues. What do they have in common with each other? Can we make a new story out of their inter-connectivity? What might be the elements of that? How can we use this moment to strengthen our organizations and each other? How can we set each other and ourselves up to bring meaning and success in our day to day lives?

Money lies at the root of all the evils that Arcand observes, wagging a finger at corporate greed. Thirty-something Pierre-Paul (Alexandre Landry) appears to be the last apostle of decency in a rotten, callous world. He has a PhD in philosophy, is still burdened with student loans and earns a living as a courier. He has come to believe that intelligence is a handicap in a world that favours the corrupt and those who have abandoned any sense of morality or community. Everything changes for Pierre-Paul when he is present at a botched robbery and makes an impulsive decision to pocket the multi-million dollar proceeds for himself. Trying to figure out what to do with the money and how much it might change him fuels a cleverly plotted ensemble piece that eventually draws in ex-con Sylvain Bigras (Rémy Girard) and escort Aspasie (Maripier Morin). –Screen International UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

| 363011681 | The Fall of the American Empire (La chute de l’empire américain) | 2019-07-18 | 9:10 pm | 2019-07-18 | 11:17 pm | Cinema / Viewing Party | Administrator | Administrator | 2019-05-28 5:45 pm | 2019-07-14 8:14 am | The rich grow richer and the poor are just collateral damage in this new film by writer/director Denys Arcand (The Decline of the American Empire), a sardonic, solidly entertaining fusion of crime caper and state-of-the-nation rumination. Money lies at the root of all the evils that Arcand observes, wagging a finger at corporate greed. Thirty-something Pierre-Paul (Alexandre Landry) appears to be the last apostle of decency in a rotten, callous world. He has a PhD in philosophy, is still burdened with student loans and earns a living as a courier. He has come to believe that intelligence is a handicap in a world that favours the corrupt and those who have abandoned any sense of morality or community. Everything changes for Pierre-Paul when he is present at a botched robbery and makes an impulsive decision to pocket the multi-million dollar proceeds for himself. Trying to figure out what to do with the money and how much it might change him fuels a cleverly plotted ensemble piece that eventually draws in ex-con Sylvain Bigras (Rémy Girard) and escort Aspasie (Maripier Morin). –Screen International UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

During Moore's two-week residency, she will develop new work that will culminate in a video projection mapping event proposed for the historic lighthouse next summer, 2020. Using the Open Space gallery as a studio space, this summer Moore will plot out her visual research and storyboard for next summer’s media event. Inspired by the architecture and symbolism of lighthouses and their history in coastal communities, the project will include the gathering of video material of clouds, the tides, moon cycles, starry constellations, and underwater marine life to ultimately project on the lighthouse. Moore will also conduct site visits and interview lighthouse keepers to amass stories of incidents surrounding the lighthouse. Together, these pieces will generate a visual-poem tribute to the lighthouse that opens up the majestic poetics of landscape, the surrounding weather systems, and unique marine ecosystems of the coast. The public is invited to come by Allison’s Open Space studio and witness her process Friday, July 19, 2-4pm. She will also give an artist talk on Thursday, July 25, 7pm.

So it only seems fair that Branagh should be the one to play the Bard in All Is True, directing a mesmerizing meditation on the last days of the greatest writer in the English language. Little is known for sure about the details of Shakespeare’s life. But as Shakespeare says in the film, “I never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” Neither does Branagh. As All is True begins, in 1613, Shakespeare has returned to his home in Stratford-upon-Avon to retire after years of prodigious productivity. His wife Anne Hathaway (Dame Judi Dench), eight years his senior, treats him like a guest in his own house. His daughters harbor festering resentments. It’s a telling irony that the women in Shakespeare’s time were never taught to read and write. Yet Dench, in a magisterial performance that never misses a trick, makes Anne a woman you trifle with at your peril. The Earl of Southampton (Ian McKellen) is believed to be the inspiration for several of Will’s most famous poems and sonnets. A conversation between the two men, wittily and movingly acted by Branagh and McKellen, is a high point in a film that cinematographer Zac Nicholson bathes in the autumnal light of time remembered. –Rolling Stone “In this lovely ode to a literary master, Branagh shows us what his hero always understood—that life may be an endlessly unfolding mystery, but in art, all is true.” –NPR UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

| 363011689 | All Is True | 2019-07-20 | 9:10 pm | 2019-07-20 | 10:52 pm | Cinema / Viewing Party | Administrator | Administrator | 2019-05-28 5:45 pm | 2019-07-14 8:14 am | Sir Kenneth Branagh has spent a major part of his career interpreting the works of William Shakespeare. So it only seems fair that Branagh should be the one to play the Bard in All Is True, directing a mesmerizing meditation on the last days of the greatest writer in the English language. Little is known for sure about the details of Shakespeare’s life. But as Shakespeare says in the film, “I never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” Neither does Branagh. As All is True begins, in 1613, Shakespeare has returned to his home in Stratford-upon-Avon to retire after years of prodigious productivity. His wife Anne Hathaway (Dame Judi Dench), eight years his senior, treats him like a guest in his own house. His daughters harbor festering resentments. It’s a telling irony that the women in Shakespeare’s time were never taught to read and write. Yet Dench, in a magisterial performance that never misses a trick, makes Anne a woman you trifle with at your peril. The Earl of Southampton (Ian McKellen) is believed to be the inspiration for several of Will’s most famous poems and sonnets. A conversation between the two men, wittily and movingly acted by Branagh and McKellen, is a high point in a film that cinematographer Zac Nicholson bathes in the autumnal light of time remembered. –Rolling Stone “In this lovely ode to a literary master, Branagh shows us what his hero always understood—that life may be an endlessly unfolding mystery, but in art, all is true.” –NPR UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

From the very beginning, scientists who doubted this theory were threatened into silence or their careers destroyed by the main theory proponents. Thus began the Dinosaur wars in 1980 – and still continuing. As in any war, there are two sides to the Dinosaur wars. The majority believes an asteroid hit Yucatan and instantaneously wiped out 75% of all life including the dinosaurs in a global firestorm and nuclear type winter. A small minority tested this theory and found contrary evidence that supported Deccan volcanism in India that caused rapid climate warming due to greenhouse gases (CO2), environmental stress, acid rain and ocean acidification culminating in the mass extinctions. This lecture highlights the four decades of the dinosaur wars, the increasing acceptance of volcanism’s catastrophic effects and likely cause of the mass extinction and the resulting ad hoc revisions to accommodate the impact theory. The talk ends with the ongoing 6th mass extinction initiated by rapid fuel burning that is causing the most rapid climate warming in Earth’s history and ocean acidification, which is predicted to reach the 6th mass extinction in as little as 50-75 years and maximum of 250 years. We could be the Dinosaurs of the 6th mass extinction. More information: <https://www.pims.math.ca/scientific-event/190724-puplgk> |

Liza Couse will be hosting this workshop on Bitters & Gut Health (see below for workshop info and facilitator bio). All are welcome, free to attend! No registration necessary. Community members are encouraged to harvest from the garden. Contact quadravillage.gardens@gmail.com for more information. \----- Let’s talk about bitter, the fundamental and frequently forgotten taste instrument for building flavour and resilient health. From enhancing digestive capacities, supporting mood, to balancing blood sugar, the various phytochemicals that deliver the bitter flavour of plants offer a host of benefits. Learn about why plants produce bitter chemicals like alkaloids and saponins and how these challenge and strengthen the body through stimulation of the vagus nerve, the key player in the gut-brain axis. Humans evolved alongside bitter plants and we have the physiology to prove it. Discover the fascinating history of humans’ relationship with bitter plants and how you can make use of bitters in delicious ways as food and medicine in your every day life. We will be smelling, tasting, and examining plants for a beautifully bitter sensory experience! Liza Couse is easily excited by flowers and other delightful things that grow out of the ground. She is a holistic nutritionist and medical herbalist-in-training enrolled in the Diploma of Phytotherapy program at Pacific Rim College. She has spent nearly a decade working with plants through organic farming, nutrition, cooking, and menu development. Liza has practiced as an independent consultant in Canada and Mexico, and has worked with a holistic health start-up and herbal dispensary. She is currently working with Pacific Rim College Online, a video-based health education platform. She is thrilled to be augmenting her nutritional and agricultural background with the study of Western Herbal Medicine and work with visual technology to disperse health information. @plenaplenaplants <https://www.facebook.com/events/518599288880427/> |

This session is hosted by Calder Brown in collaboration with Mental Health Society of Greater Victoria. \-------------------------------------------- Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, or the right side of the bed today? Are you feeling refreshed, energized and ready to put your best foot forward? For a lot of my life I struggled with the unpredictability of how I would feel in the morning. There would be great days, good days and bad days. On the great days I was alive, excited and operating at my highest level. I would get tons done and make leaps towards my dreams. I loved those days. On the bad days I felt tired, lethargic and didn't really want to leave the bed. I hated those days. How I would feel in the morning was unpredictable and I disliked that. This lead me to go in search of habits and actions that would help me boost my state if I was ever feeling those lows. Having habits and routines in place, that have a positive outcome, has allowed me to turn a bad days into a good ones. It has given me back control. I cant say that all my tips will help you boost your state. Perhaps you do lots already. But there may be one (hopefully more) actions or habits within this session that can make a difference in your life or in someones you know. The session is open to people of all ages and walks of life, what ever your current routines and habits are, there is always more we could be doing to get the results we want. Please share with your friends and family and lets bring some support to a great cause! |

Naturally, sparks begin to fly for this seemingly incompatible couple, much the chagrin of her campaign staff. –Bijou “With a giddy irreverence and a cavalcade of stupendous comedic performers, Long Shot is outrageously funny” –The Guardian UVSS Students: **$5.75** (only **$4.75** for 9pm shows or later) Seniors (65 & older), Children (12 & under**): $5.75** UVic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and guest (1 only) of above: **$6.75** Cinemagic Members: **$6.75** Non-Members: **$7.75** MATINEES (all seats): **$4.75** Tickets available at the door.[](https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1005&MovieID=1716) More information: <https://www.cinecenta.com/default.aspx?PageID=1000> |

Certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes “The singer’s optimism is contagious, and his schoolboy-like wonder is jubilant. There’s a lot to smile at here.” Ken Jaworowski, The NYTimes “Howard adopts a no-muss-no-fuss tone of benevolent civility that feels like a legitimate way to go, keeping Pavarotti’s identity as a singer front and center.” Owen Gleiberman, Variety $11.43 19+ Tickets and more information: <https://www.victoriafilmfestival.com/box-office/pavarotti/> Volunteer with The Vic: <https://www.victoriafilmfestival.com/volunteers/> |
