Why is Vancouver never Vancouver? You tell us, mat

Why is Vancouver never Vancouver?
You tell us, matter of fact ☝🏼 let's hear it from BIV Brenna's POV 😻😻😻

"People often suggest that Vancouver is just so nondescript that it can be anything, but that inadvertently also suggests that Vancouver isn’t anything on its own. I’ll admit, Vancouver is varied, even by block, but that shouldn’t mean that it’s nondescript, rather the opposite. Sure, the architecture is assorted and could be any location around the world, but Vancouver is also home to countless identities, cultures, and stories, and to condense that into a single frame in a story that isn’t interested in those perspectives is a disservice. My experience with Vancouver will be radically different from another person who grew up even in the house next to me, or my own building. There are so many important and even difficult stories about these parts, varied ones which should have just as much opportunity to be told."

There's more to this theory

"I want people to know they’re not the only ones

"I want people to know they’re not the only ones going through that pain. Music is the true healer. And when we perform, we want the audience to leave feeling as tired and as emotionally freed as we do. "

REEL Reviewer, BIV's Brenna discusses rot, honour,

REEL Reviewer, BIV's Brenna discusses rot, honour, and the story of Sir Gawain.

"David Lowery's The Green Knight (2021) was the first film I saw in cinemas after Feb of 2020. I remember sitting there, as the final credits passed, just reeling at how beautiful and moving it had been, but also how familiar. I think we were all feeling a bit stuck and isolated then, probably still are now. What struck me, however, is that being relatable is not typical of Arthurian heroes. They are something one holds themselves to, not someone they already are. That is where the genius of Lowery's film lies, as it's not just a commentary on chivalry and Arthurian lore, but a modern examination of what it means to move beyond ourselves into uncertainty."

Brenna compares the film with its original text whilst highlighting how Gawain fails to be chivalrous at every turn.
Check out @youremindmeoftheframe for the rest of this epic passage and then ☝🏼 stream it on amazon prime with this insight 😎

How savvy are we becoming in the film department??
Thanks Brenna, @youremindmeoftheframe !

"In a story of divide and rule, two strangers stri

"In a story of divide and rule, two strangers strive to find human connection in a world of separation. Stefano follows in the footsteps of generations of Lampedusa’s fishermen. But in the 21st century, the catch is very different: the fish have disappeared, and his new job is to rescue migrants from the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, in the bleakest corners of the UK, Denise, a biracial woman, goes from door to door collecting payday loans, witnessing crippling hardship, and hearing violent complaints about a country that some believe is being “destroyed by immigration”.

*sigh*
What a storrrryyyy *swoooon*

Head over to Vancity Culture Lab for opening night (Friday May 6 at 8:00pm)
OR catch other showtimes until May 21st.
