ADVERTORIAL

Rayacom turns 10 the city where they got their start. “Like most national companies, I have thought about re-locating our head ofﬁce to Toronto or Vancouver but we have decided to keep it in Edmonton. This is our hometown, and Edmonton’s business community has really been supportive of us,” says Austin. “We’ve come a long way from the days when we were one printer, working around the clock.”

en years ago, brothers Austin and Martin Tran went looking for a printing house in Edmonton to get some good quality, inexpensive business cards printed quickly. Fortunately for them, they didn’t ﬁnd one. After a frustrating search, the Tran brothers decided there was a demand that needed ﬁlling. After doing some research on the newest digital print technology Austin went out and bought a commercial digital print machine and began printing business cards for family and friends.

Thus began the growing franchise that is Rayacom today. The company has since expanded into 11 locations across Canada, but Edmonton remains headquarters for Austin and his brother Martin Tran. Now, for Rayacom’s 10th anniversary, the brothers and business partners are celebrating by relocating to a brand new facility, tripling their space from 5000 to 16,500 square feet and adding new, high tech equipment. It’s an exciting move for the Trans, who were raised in Edmonton and harbour an emotional connection for

Business continued to boom over the years as Rayacom brought on new clients, like Famoso Restaurant Group, Century Hospitality Group and Brookﬁeld Homes. These and other loyal customers have provided a foundation for Rayacom’s growth.

“It takes a special person to work in the print industry, everybody needs their printing yesterday,” says Gatti. “A lot of our success is in having great staff.” “We’re a very young team—even the owners are in their early 30s—so we like to keep things light,” Gatti explains. “We like to have fun, while working really hard.” That’s an experience that translates into their interactions with clients, as well, adds Gatti, “A lot of our customers come into the ofﬁce and say ‘Wow, the energy here is great, it seems like a cool place to work.’”

“None of it would really have happened without loyal customers, continuing to come back over the years,” says Amerino Gatti, Rayacom’s regional director for Alberta.

In expanding into the new space, the Rayacom team is excited to bring their clients some of the newest innovations in printing, including printing on thicker card stocks, new binding and folding options, dimensional printing, more accurate pantone matching (for colour branding) and more vibrant colours.

In a highly competitive market, Gatti attributes the company’s success to a few key things: loyal clients, start-to-ﬁnish production control and a fun, friendly working culture.

The new facility and latest technologies will be on display at their grand opening on Friday, Sept 26 (for complete details, see Rayacom’s grand opening invitation below).

In addition to some great food, live music and prize giveaways, there will be an instant photo booth where guests will be able to get their photo taken, and then printed on Rayacom’s new Kodak NexPress, the next generation of topline digital presses. In a way, the photos are just an extension of what Rayacom has always done: represent their client’s best side, in print. “It’s a competitive industry,” says Gatti. “We as a company need to keep innovating and re-inventing ourselves to stay ahead of the rest.” Above all, Rayacom is thankful that their customers keep walking through their door. Ten years later, they’re looking forward to opening their new doors to their many friends and customers on Sept 26.

VUEPOINT SAMANTHA POWER SAMANTHA@VUEWEEKLY.COM

Eyes on Prentice Michener will stay open. The Alberta licence plate will proudly declare "Wild rose country." And those troublesome planes will no long fly for the government. Premier Jim Prentice has busily reversed almost every controversial decision to cause a flame war between Alison Redford and Albertans. But the real problems lay in wait, slowly bubbling to the surface in Alberta's northeast. And without action now, the oilsands will be more than a major environmental disaster, but could also be a costly legal battle. At the end of August the province stated that the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan, meant to deal with the cumulative effects of industry on the environment in the oilsands region, was not the place to deal with treaty rights. The problem: land use management and cumulative effects are all about a First Nation's ability to exercise their constitutionally mandated treaty rights. The traditional use of land requires sustainable ecosystems and diverse wildlife. Last year, in the final report on the Shell Jackpine Mine expansion, the review panel recommended a traditional land-use framework be included as a component of LARP saying the absence of one makes it, "very difficult for aboriginal groups, industry and panels such as this one to evaluate the impact of individual projects on traditional land use." If treaty rights are not contained within LARP, the courts very quickly become the only forum to be heard. This issue requires a more complex answer than a reversal on LARP, but decisive and swift recognition that the provincial government has the duty to recognize, and truly integrate, treaty rights including the right to traditional land use. By appointing himself minister of aboriginal affairs Prentice has recognized aboriginal issues are key to the future of this province. Let's see if he's capable of more than just reversing decisions, but of pre-empting future controversy. V

Scotland stays

Scotland needs more power over its own affairs in wake of No vote A week ago, the Kurdistan Times warned that "the British are exercising the old colonialist tongue to control the minds and dampen the aspirations of Scottish people who want to vote Yes [to independence]." And lo! It came to pass just as the Times predicted. The silver-tongued colonialists lured the Scots into voting No, and by a fairly healthy margin, too: 55 percent No, 45 percent Yes. It is, indeed, a much wider margin for the No than the last time a proposal for secession was voted on in a Western country, in Canada in 1995. In that referendum, just 50.5 percent of Quebecers voted No, compared to 49.5 percent who voted Yes. At the time, many Canadians thought that the country's demolition had only been deferred, not averted. It was, after all, the second referendum on Quebec's independence, and it was a lot closer to a Yes than the first one in 1980 (60 percent No, 40 percent Yes). Third time lucky, muttered the

separatists of the Parti Québécois. And everybody else assumed that they'd just keep holding referendums until they got the right answer. That was when a Montréal journalist called Josh Freed coined the word "Neverendum" to describe the process and for more than a decade that was the wheel that everybody in Quebec assumed they were tied to. But they turned out to be wrong. Almost two decades later there has been no third referendum, nor is there any on the horizon. Could it work out that way in Scotland too? That would be good, because what will probably happen if another referendum remains a possibility is what befell Quebec: a low-level depression that lasted for decades as investors avoided a place whose future was so uncertain and existing businesses pulled out. It was not even that everybody knew that Quebec's independence would be an economic disaster; just that nobody could be

certain it wouldn't be. The result was that Quebec's share of Canada's Gross Domestic Product, which was around 25 percent when the separatist PQ was first elected in 1976, is now less than 20 percent. That is about 90-billion dollars of lost economic activity in Quebec each year, even though another referendum on independence has been a rapidly receding prospect for at least the past dozen years. How might Scotland avoid that fate? The only way, really, is for "Devo Max" to work so well and to so thoroughly satisfy Scots' understandable desire for more control over their own government and economy, that nobody talks about independence any more. That will be more than a little tricky. Devo Max—maximum devolution of power from London to Edinburgh— would leave little else but defence and foreign affairs to the UK parliament in London. Everything else would be

decided by Scots, in Scotland, including rates of taxation and the level of spending on health and welfare. So what's the problem? Scotland was already more than halfway there before the independence referendum. In the panicky last days before the vote, when it briefly looked like the Yes might squeak through to a narrow victory, all three major British parties promised to deliver the other half as well. But it will be very hard for them to keep their promises, which include placing what amounts to a proposal for a new British constitution before the Westminster parliament by next March. They are starting with three different versions of Devo Max for Scotland and getting to a single agreed version (which also satisfies

VUEWEEKLY SEP 25 – OCT 01, 2014

the great majority of Scots) in only six months is a tall order. Even more difficult is the fact that Scotland cannot be given all these powers while the other parts of the United Kingdom—Wales, Northern Ireland and even the various regions of England—stay just the same. There must be at least some more devolution for them too, but that debate has barely started. So what are the odds that Scotland will escape the "planning blight" of a long period during which a second referendum lurks in the shadows, and the economic damage accumulates? Not very good.

FRONT NEWS // NDP LEADER

// Olav Rokne, with permission

ollowing two-and-a-half days of meetings with his caucus and invited guests—amongst them Edmonton Oilers captain Andrew Ference and Mayor Don Iveson— federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, found time for an exclusive one-onone prior to boarding the plane on his next stop toward the opening of the new sitting of the House of Commons this week. [Full disclosure: the writer served as Alberta co-chair of Mulcair's 2012 leadership bid. A lifelong Habs fan, she is less than enthused about the NDP leader's clear pandering to Oilers fans.] VUE WEEKLY: The federal NDP's response to this summer's conflict in Gaza ruffled a lot of feathers amongst party supporters here in Edmonton and, actually, across the country. It's not clear that these folks would move their votes from the NDP to the Liberals or Conservatives, given both of those parties' leaders were in lockstep in their positions. The problem for you is that those folks might sit the election out, depriving you of the volunteer power you'll need to successfully contest the 2015 election. What do you have to say to that core group of NDP supporters?

NEWS // BOOK

Nothing is wasted in She of the Mountains Vivek Shraya's new novel is an exploration of bisexual love

Thu, Sep 25 (7 pm) She of the Mountains book launch U of A, CAB 269

ivek Shraya didn't connect very much with Marvel superheroes while growing up. It was the gore and passion of epic Hindu mythology that seized his imagination in comic books like the the Amar Chitra Katha series. "I just didn't make the connection the same way to Spider-Man and other Marvel comics," former Edmontonian Shraya says. He thinks kids are creative in looking for role models they have something in common with. "I think that Hindu gods served as role models that I didn't have access to. A lot of these gods—the male gods especially—there's a tenderness about them. They're often depicted with long hair and jewelry." Those stories showed him strong characters with brown skin that he could identify with as a kid figuring out his sexuality, and also helped inspire the mythological and personal stories he tells in his debut novel She of the Mountains. Much as those comic books gave him something to look up to when he was younger, he's now set out to write a bisexual love story he felt the world needed. Shraya lives in Toronto now, where he works as a Positive Space Coordinator and Human Rights Advisor at Toronto's George Brown College. He also makes music and film, and his short story collection God Loves Hair was a finalist for the 2011 Lambda Literary Awards. On September 25, he'll read from She as part of the University of Alberta's Rainbow Welcome events. It's a slim book, but Shraya fills it with lush minimalist worlds with plenty of room to breathe.

// Raymond Biesinger

The novel shifts back and forth between vignettes in Hindu mythology and a present day personal love story. The man at the centre of that love story is also on his own journey to learn how to love himself. The stories are punctuated with illustrations by Raymond Biesinger, a prolific artist who worked in Edmonton for many years (including for Vue Weekly). God Loves Hair and Shraya's film and book project What I LOVE About Being QUEER covered similar themes of race, sexuality and finding a way to fit in. But She feels uniquely epic and intimately biographical. The male protagonist of the novel's love story feels cut in two directions by people jeering "You're gay!" From childhood bullies and grown up gay friends alike, the words come out as a challenge

to his growing awareness that he's drawn to both men and women. Shraya has mined his own experiences as an entry point for challenging prejudices he's seen from both straight and gay communities. "I do positive space training in my day job," Shraya explains, "anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia training—people come in with all kinds of prejudices and discriminatory attitudes, and one of the wonderful things about education is you can see how people's minds change." People find it harder to accept stuff outside a cut and dry binary, though. "My colleagues and I did a workshop where someone flat out said, 'I can wrap my mind around gay, I can wrap my mind around lesbian, but bisexual? That's just really weird.' You see the same kind of resistance to trans people as well. I just feel like that's where the work

needs to happen, is pushing against the binary. A lot of us, our gender doesn't conform to the binary and neither does our desire." The novel doesn't seem like a lecture, partly because of the male protagonist's funny, self-conscious doubts like wondering whether his girlfriend would be happier with "a real man. A man that doesn't know all the words to The Little Mermaid soundtrack." Initially the book wasn't going to be illustrated at all, but Shraya decided the story practically shouted out for a glimpse at all the characters. A mutual friend introduced him to Biesinger's art, and the two bonded over their connection to Edmonton and Biesinger's past in a queer-positive band. Having done work for The Walrus, The New Yorker and WIRED, Biesing-

VUEWEEKLY SEP 25 – OCT 01, 2014

er leaped on the rare chance to do something completely new. His abstract, mechanical, German symbolist style isn't an obvious fit for She's Hindu imagery, but Biesinger says Shraya was persuasive. "He managed to make a connection that I didn't. The way that I work with symbols and context is actually fairly similarly to Hindu mythology, in that if there's a figure of Parvati, everything she's wearing is an artifact of a story. The way that I work in illustration is very similar: nothing is wasted, there's no decoration and everything is present for a reason, as a symbol to tell a part of the story." Given all the places where it could have fallen into After School Special territory, She is a genuine success as a story. The wide-angle lens on history from the Hindu gods and goddesses is one of the reasons it works. Lovers' missteps, insecurities and misunderstandings that might seem petty or geared to a queer niche feel more universal beside the myths. She also succeeds in portraying Edmonton as a believable backdrop for the contemporary characters. If you're in the right circles, you'll understand immediately what the "Only Gay Bar in Town" refers to and why there's an extra layer of attraction and danger in meeting eyes with other men in Alberta. If you're not, the references aren't a distraction. Learning to be patient was Shraya's biggest challenge creating the book. It took two years to write and another for editing and illustration. He says it felt painfully long, but wanted to give his idea time to grow. That's ultimately one of the biggest messages that echoes from the love stories in She: have patience and be vulnerable.

that the Conservatives are forcing municipalities to adopt their ideology whether they like it or not. How would an NDP government do this differently? TM: Edmonton's Mayor Don Iveson spoke of this very thing when he addressed our caucus this week. Just as it's wrong to assert that a P3 is always the right way to go—and it's not, there's all sorts of examples that show it does nothing but cost taxpayers more money in the long run—it's also wrong to assume it's always the wrong way to go. The NDP doesn't believe that ideology should be the driving factor in decision-making. We're committed to making these sorts of decisions on a case-by-case basis, driven by evidence and not ideology. And we're committed to giving municipalities

the latitude to making those decisions for themselves, not making it for them. VW: You've got a lot of work to do to improve your electoral prospects here in Edmonton and throughout the prairies, where the NDP was born. What concrete steps are you taking to increase your seat count following the next election, expected in October 2015? TM: We are very optimistic that we're going to do well in the next election throughout the prairies, and we'll do that by recruiting and supporting the best candidates. I've got to tell you, we are all so impressed with Linda Duncan in Edmonton-Strathcona, as are her constituents, and I am absolutely certain that Janis Irwin in Edmonton-Griesbach is going to join her in the House of Commons following the next election. We had over 500

people come out to a fundraiser to support her last night [September 10]; Janis is working very hard and I have no doubt she is going to be elected. In Manitoba, we have two excellent MPs in Niki Ashton and Pat Martin to the Liberals' one, proving yet again that the only real alternative for people who want to defeat the Conservatives is the NDP. And we're confident we are going to win several seats in Saskatchewan following the next election. As you mentioned, it's the birthplace of our party, and following the next election we're going to regain a stronghold there. Without a doubt. VW: How are the Habs going to do in

the playoffs this season?

TM: Well, we had Andrew Ference,

the captain of the Oilers, come and speak to our caucus this week, so I have it on his authority. He said that the Oilers were going to join the Canadiens in the playoffs this year so I consider that pretty good authority. Andrew gave an enthusiastic speech to our caucus about the importance of community service, PRIDE, and the environment. I had the pleasure of presenting him with an NDP hockey jersey afterwards and he told us that both the Oilers and the Canadiens are going to make it to the playoffs this year, so I'm confident going with that.

DISH Cibo Bistro a not-so-well-kept secret worth letting yourself in on

// Eden Munro

ucked away in an improbably serene little nook of Oliver Square's oceanic parking lot, Cibo Bistro cuts a prominent profile in the local resto-sphere. Perennially namechecked among the best restaurants in town by ostensible authorities on the subject, Cibo has long been on my list of places to try out, even as I had cultivated ignorance of what to expect beyond something Italian-inspired; cibo means food in Italian, as I discovered. A beautiful late summer evening made Cibo's environs, replete with wrought iron footbridges and cultivated stands of tall grass, all the more inviting. The small patio was full of diners and it was easy to forget that they were seated mere metres away from the seething torrent of vehicles that is 104 Avenue. With outdoor seating all claimed, co-diner and I repaired to an intimate little table on one side of the elegant, high-ceilinged dining room. And though elegant, Cibo maintains a relaxed ambiance that apparently tolerates the odd backwards baseball cap. Ah, Edmonton. The antipasti menu didn't make it easy on us—beet salad, housecured meats, polpette, and bruschetta with fancy mozzarella all vied for our attention, but we settled on Sicilian olives ($7) and arancini ($13). For her main, co-diner chose the cavatelli with duck ($24), though we both had to confess we didn't know what cavatelli was. The server, who encouraged my inclination to try the coniglio ($28) by noting it would soon be leaving the menu, won us over early by suggesting apt wine pairings for our respective meals. The wine menu is short but, it would seem, meaningful. Our olives were big, plump, green exemplars lined up end to end on a long narrow tray—which I recall because I fell afoul of it instantly and chased an olive onto the floor.

The ones that survived were meaty and zesty. We were surprised at the size of the order of arancini: there were seven of them, and they were not small. Essentially golden-fried balls of rice filled with mild Fontina cheese and a few peas, and liber-

The coniglio, a pair of roasted rabbit legs (from what must have been a fearsomely large rabbit) stuffed with ground pork and arugula, came perched on a bed of sweet, fragrant, multi-hued—do I need to mention liberally buttered?—market carrots and a savoury mustard sauce that lit up everything on the plate. The crisped exterior of the rabbit was actually a bit hard to cut with the serious-looking serrated knife that came with the meal, but the meat beneath was moist and rich, annealed as it was to the moist richness of seaCibo Bistro soned ground pork and 11244 - 104 Ave arugula stuffing.

Not much discussion was required to arrive at the cioccolato ($10), a chocolate hazelnut tart with citrus whipped cream and salted hazelnut brittle—I mean, what would you have done? It was the perfect size for two people: a generous pool of intense but not oversweet dark chocolate velvet in pastry crust, surrounded with a rubble of salty candied hazelnuts. I particularly enjoyed it thanks to the perfect Americano served with a side of hot milk. When it comes to coffee, one appreciates a certain attention to detail. The entire experience was so seamless, with exactly the right amount of attention from the gracious server, well-timed arrival of each plate and overall quality of every bite, that we almost didn't realize what a lovely evening we'd had until it came time to settle up. The size of the tab seemed commensurate with the specialness that had been brought to the occasion. My responsibility to survey the restosphere may delay my return, but at least I'm finally in on the not-sowell-kept secret that is Cibo Bistro.

n honour of the 28th Edmonton International Film Festival opening this week, here's a list of prominent wine films. Pop a cork and hit play. Sideways Forever my favourite wine movie, Sideways paradoxically contains the best ode to wine I've heard (delivered by the wonderful Virginia Madsen), as well as the line that became so overused in the wine industry that I cringe whenever someone, trying (and failing) to do their best Paul Giamatti impression, recites it. Yeah, yeah, you're not drinking any fucking Merlot; I get the reference. Let's move on, please. Aside from telling the story of a booze-soaked, licentious bachelor's weekend in Santa Barbara wine country, Sideways was really the first non-documentary to present wine in a starring role: it's the framing device for all of the characters' relationships, and a foil for their identities. It's also a rare example of a movie that was much better than the book—seriously, don't bother reading it. The screenwriters won an Academy Award for best adaptation for a very good reason. SOMM This engrossing documentary proves that tasting wine all day long is actually not the dream job you might think it is. The film fol-

lows four candidates preparing for the Master Sommelier exam, a gruelling ordeal that pretty much saps all the fun out of drinking wine by quantifying each sip. ("This red wine has star-bright clarity, medium-plus acidity, medium tannin ... ") It's a fascinating insider's peek into the upper echelon of the wine world, and the moments leading up to the revelation of whether or not each candidate passed is just as teethgritting, seat-bouncingly suspenseful for the audience as it is for the candidates themselves. Blood Into Wine If you're a fan of singer/songwriter Maynard James Keenan's music projects (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer) then you'll probably dig this movie. There's a fair bit of fangirling over his music and rock-star persona, along with some irritating, misplaced comedy sketches (Bob Odenkirk's cameo during the end credits is just bizarre), but the film really shines when it focuses on the struggles of the neophyte Arizona wine industry, of which Keenan is both pioneer and poster child. But it's refreshing to see a celebrity who's absolutely serious about winemaking and who didn't just slap his name on a label, and the segments with Eric Glomski (Keenan's winemaking mentor) stand out as some of the film's best.

Sideways

Red Obsession In 50 years, China will be the world's biggest wine producer. It seems like an insane notion, but it will undoubtedly happen if this country continues its absolute— you guessed it—obsession with the grape. Ostensibly a documentary about Bordeaux's place at the top of fine wine's food chain, Red Obsession is really about the rise of China as a wine superpower, both as consumer and producer. It's required watching for anyone in the industry, but fascinating to boot: wealthy Chinese wine collectors have all but cornered the Bordeaux wine market, and the guy with the world's most expensive cellar (Peter Tsenge) is a sex-toy mogul. Bottle Shock If you are into sappy romantic com-

edies and idealized, faux-nostalgic reminiscences about 1970s California, this movie is for you. If you are looking for a faithful retelling of a monumental event in winemaking history that had a profound effect on the global wine industry, watch Red Obsession. Alan Rickman's facial expressions are probably the best thing about this flick, which is little more than an insipid Hollywood rom-com stuffed with groan-inducing, sophomoric philosophizing. The famous Judgment of Paris tasting occurs in a place that looks hilariously Californian, not French (vineyards don't all look the same, guys), while the momentousness of the outcome falls completely flat because by this point you've been made to care more about who's banging who in the vineyards.

The Violet Hour Until Sat, Sept 27 (7:30 pm) Directed by Lucy Collingwood Timms Centre, $11 – $22 Fitzgerald figure most prominently, though there are also subtler references to the likes of Hemingway and Eliot. The performances in this production are solid but not exemplary: Lianna Makuch makes a strong impact upon her entrance as Denis' fiancé but fades a little as the play wears on, while Julien Arnold is a charming show-stealer as blustering office clerk Gidger. Kanji's navigation of her character's racial and sexual politics is diplomatic and stately, but could use more teeth. As The Violet Hour unspools, a few funny moments buoy what is otherwise a rather grim realization of fate. Knowing the future absolves John of the crushing uncertainty that plagues his present indecision, but it also undermines the show's stakes; the ending, when it finally does arrive, is tinged with just enough uncertainty to give it a subtle cleverness while simultaneously feeling a little too neat and easy.

ns Choi is one of thousands of Canadians who grew up above a corner store. "I have memories of counting money," he says with a chuckle, recalling some of the experiences that form the backbone of Kim's Convenience, a play that travelled across Canada with Toronto's Soulpepper Theatre before landing on the Citadel's stage. "My uncle would gather us kids and give each of us a stack of fives, or twos and ones. I remember my sisters counting money and putting them in stacks. Instead of getting a coin counter, it'd be us."

WHAT’S ON AT UALBERTA? The Violet Hour

LAST WEEKEND:

by Richard Greenberg

Until Sept 27

A dark comedy. An aspiring publisher must choose between two manuscripts: his best friend from college’s masterpiece, or his lover’s compelling memoir.

Choi's family immigrated to Toronto from South Korea in 1975, when he was one-year old; like many other Korean and Asian families who landed in Ontario, they lived above a family member's convenience store for a time; he also worked at various stores when he was a teenager. A graduate of York University, Choi wrote Kim's Convenience—which centres on the same situation in which he grew up— after becoming disheartened with the roles commonly available to Asians in Canadian theatre, film and television: when they weren't outright lacking, these roles were often dubiously stereotypical. After being rejected by pretty much all of Toronto's theatre companies ("I guess they had the wrong accent when reading it," laughs Choi), the script ended up winning the Toronto Fringe's new play contest. The show debuted at the 2011 festival, and midway through its sold-out run, Choi started getting calls. "It was all these artistic directors from all the theatre companies that rejected the play earlier," he says. "I found myself in a really enviable position, to choose which theatre compa-

Its track record proves this is a play that resonates quite strongly with Canadians—all Canadians, regardless of their background. Choi notes that he is in "very favourable" talks with a broadcaster to put Kim's Convenience on TV. "It is a Korean story; it is an immigrant story, sure—but at the core of it, it has to do with family and the differences in values of two generations that is a kind of universally appealing theme," he says. "At the Fringe it was a two-thirds Korean audience, who laughed and who loved it because it was them on stage and it was their story; I totally understood that. But then as it kept playing, and especially as we got to Soulpepper, it was a totally different clientele and subscriber base who equally connected to it and loved it. People would come up to me in the lobby after and say, 'That was my dad in 1940-something when we lived in Newfoundland.' "This is a Canadian story being featured on main stages, and these theatre companies are getting behind it," he continues. "All these companies have a bottom line; they have to make money. Things that come from Broadway or from London across the ocean—they have more clout; perhaps it's less risky. But I love the fact that in every city we've gone to, Kim's Convenience has been a surprise to the theatre."

Fatboy Consume and destroy // Ryan Parker

ANCAAAAAKES!" For all of his unchecked-ID impulsiveness, nothing seems to hit Fatboy's titular character quite like the thought of eating: desire to consume overrides all else in his mind. Oh, sure, he swears, cheats, lies and snaps necks to get his way. But, as he proves early on in John Clancy's Ubu Roi-inspired script, he's just as happy to shove money in his mouth and swallow as go spend it on something like food. It's the deed, not

the details, he's after: the pure, carnal impulse to consume and destroy to sustain himself, so he can go on consuming and destroying. And in this gleefully vulgar Edmonton Actors Theatre production, Fatboy spins that cycle into a whirlwind of black comedy: law, order and compassion get shoved into his vile gullet and mashed around. It's a comedy that likes to swear at you—yes, you—as it grinds your sacred cows into hamburgers.

ARTIFACTS Ortona 100 / Thu, Sep 25 – Sun, Sep 28 Formerly both a Hudson’s Bay building and the home of an Edmonton-stationed Canadian Naval Reserve division (the H.M.C.S. Nonesuch), the Ortona Armoury—presently the home to FAVA’s offices—has now reached its centennial year of existence, with a weekend of celebrations planned in honour of the milestone. There are new works by artist in residence Carly Greene, Mile Zero Dance presenting a “Bears’ Picnic”, a darkroom demo (bring your own negatives), a scatter of film screenings on the site, and the Boreal ElectroAcoustic Music Society (BEAMS) who will be pairing their musical soundscapes with some burlesque. (Ortona Armoury Arts Building, 9722 - 102 St)

It's divided into a triptych of scenarios—Fatboy at home, Fatboy on trial and, finally, Fatboy as king—with direct-address interludes to cover some impressive quick-set changes. The concept doesn't really change as Fatboy rolls along, even as the scenarios shift: it's just a dramatic heightening in each one, more stakes added for the being to rampage his way through, until a smartly meta ending which both deconstructs and tries to place a certain culpability for him on us. The cast shoulders it all with aplomb. In the title role, Frederick Zbryski basically performs a 75-minute temper tantrum, his voice hoarse and his eyes sharp but wild and cruel. His honey tea-

Southward bound

A look at Canadians in Hollywood is one of 130 films at the Edmonton International Film Fest

Mon, Sep 29 (7 pm) & Tue, Sep 30 (4 pm) Gone South Directed by Leslie Bland and Ian Ferguson Part of the Edmonton International Film Festival Sep 25 – Oct 4 Landmark City Centre Cinemas edmontonfilmfest.com

Neve Campbell, one of many Canucks Gone South

here's a problem with the Monty Hall Problem. The probability puzzle, named for the famous Canadian broadcaster and longtime host of Let's Make A Deal, goes like this: you're a game-show contestant shown a choice of three doors. Behind one of them is a car and behind the other two something less desirable. You pick a door, and then the host opens one of the remaining doors to reveal one of the less desirable things, and then asks if you want to switch your choice of the remaining two doors. The question of the puzzle is: already knowing where one of the undesirable things is, should you switch your original choice? Counterintuitively, the statistics say yes, you should. But over the phone, Hall points out a fallacy in the whole scenario's Let's Make A Deal-style framework. "It's all academic," the nonagenarian says. "Because I'd never ask [the player] if they wanted to switch. It was never a choice. They'd made the choice with the one curtain or the one door, we'd show one of the curtains or door that wasn't a car. At no time did I say, 'Now, do you want to switch your original choice'? There was no reason to do that. "When this was brought to me by a New York Times reporter who came to my home to prove to me you should do that, it never dawned on me that you would even be given the choice of switching," Hall continues. "Because once you made your choice, wasn't that your choice?" Posing the Monty Hall problem to Monty Hall was a bit of a tangent; ostensibly, Hall's on the phone to talk about Gone South: How Canada Invented Hollywood. He's one of a surprisingly substantial parade of familiar faces in the documentary—Hall to Alex Trebek, Neve Campbell to Will Sasso,—that claim Canuck heritage but live and work down in LA.

The film's screening as part of the 28th annual Edmonton International Film Fest, which is pulling some 130 films—50 features and 80 shorts— from 27 countries into downtown Edmonton. The festival, as always, prides itself on a sense of discovery: it's not TIFF and doesn't want to be. Instead, the focus is on more indie, more upand-comers, and giving more chances for younger filmmakers to find a screen. In his own experience as a young Canuck in LA, Hall notes he didn't find his northern heritage to be a burden for his career. Except possibly, this one time. "One of the first shows I got down in America was a show called Keep Talking," Hall says. "I was the MC of the show, and it didn't do well in the first couple of weeks of the ratings, so they replaced me with Jackie Cooper, I think it was, then replaced him with Carl Reiner, and then they took the show off altogether. But when they took me off the show, someone asked a CBC executive, why did you replace Monty Hall? [The executive] said, 'him with

his Canadian accent ...' Hall laughs.

"I don't know if the accent stopped me on the future. But it happened a couple of times when I came down, that people were so conscious of the different flat tone of the Canadians." Not bad for a Winnipeg kid who graduated with a science degree. But did that piece of paper help his career in broadcasting? "Not a bit," he chuckles. "I graduated in chemistry and zoology, and I want to say I never used any one of them for the rest of my life, except when I was doing a crossword puzzle. If they wanted the formula for something in chemistry, or some invertebrate animal, but other than that, it never helped me a bit." PAUL BLINOV

PAUL@VUEWEEKLY.COM

Not sure where to begin at EIFF, with so many films spanning the festival's duration? Here are a few possibilities for your perusal. Reviews by Brian Gibson (BG) and Mel Priestley (MP). Sun, Sep 28 (9:30 pm) Deux Jours, Une Nuit (Two Days, One Night) Directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne Five stars Another underclass-survival thriller from the Belgian brothers; it may be their tautest and timeliest work. It's more flecked (in its last half-hour) with melodrama than their Palme d'Or masterpieces Rosetta and L'Enfant, but the riveting performance by Marion Cotillard, on screen almost every moment here as Sandra Bya, carries any implausibilities and contains multitudes, particularly Sandra's drags of despondency and jags of hopefulness. In a series of steely efforts, battering away at her faltering, flickering selfworth, Sandra tries over one weekend to convince nine of her 16 colleagues at their solar-panel factory to vote on Monday to keep her job. Catch-22s come fast and furious: Sandra's unfit for work because she's recovering from depression but being on the cusp of joblessness only makes her more depressed; most co-workers don't want her departure but don't want to turn down the offered bonus they'd get if she goes. Sandra's husband Manu (Dardenne regular Fabrizio Rongione) offers up his steady but haunted care and belief in her. And two moments of sudden abandon, both coming in the contained but rushing freedom of a car on the highway, come like gulps of exhilaration. A film that pulsates with the surges and ebbs of economic and personal desperation. BG

Sun, Sep 28 (1:30 pm) The Nightingale Directed by Philippe Muyl Three stars The Nightingale tells the tale of a young, spoiled city girl travelling with her grandfather to his village for a weekend trip; along the way they become lost in the stunning lush forests of southeastern China. Couched within this story are a host of familial issues: divorce, generational gaps, estrangement between family members and the treatment of aging relatives. But it's not some dour, preachy melodrama: instead, the film grounds an unlikely adventure in reality, with just a dash of whimsy to keep things fresh. While the human story is a bit prosaic, the film has some poignant moments in the juxtaposition of rural and urban China, specifically in how it shows that the divide between the two isn't nearly as wide as an outsider might assume—little boys in rural Chinese villages know that the iPhone 4S is an "ancient" model just as surely as the most plugged-in urban youth. MP Sat, Sep 27 (2 pm) One of a Kind (Mon âme par toi guérie) Directed by François Dupeyron Two stars This quiet, peculiar film, directed and written by François Dupeyron, has trouble finding its bearings: the story pushes and pulls in multiple directions, remaining unclear as to where it's headed even as it concludes. After the death of his mother, a workingclass man in southern France inherits her gift of healing touch—an extraordinary, mystical circumstance that is perplexingly treated in the most banal manner until it is all but set aside in favour of the puzzling love

VUEWEEKLY SEP 25 – OCT 01, 2014

story that develops between him and a troubled, alcoholic woman. The mysteries in the plot are aided by evocative black-and-white dream sequences and juxtaposed with close-up, documentary-style scenes throughout the rest of the film; the odd soundtrack, however, is utterly misplaced and grating, serving only to derail the mood and tension. MP Wed, Oct 1 (6:30 pm) Red Army Directed by Gabe Polsky Four stars Gabe Polsky's documentary links a beautiful, surging hockey style, brutally trained for, to an ugly, disintegrating state ideology, often brutally exercised against its people. In this chronicle of CSKA Moscow's, aka the Red Army's, glory years in '70s and '80s international play—and its reflection of the Big Red Machine that was the USSR—there are two glaring omissions for a Canadian viewer. There's no mention of the '72 Series loss for the Soviets (and what impact that had on Russian notions of hockey supremacy) or of their narrow '87 Canada Cup defeat to Gretzky, Lemieux, and co (as the CCCP crumbled and the Cold War melted away). Still, a twinkling, white-haired Viacheslav Fetisov proves always engaging and often amusing as a guide to the team's years under Anatoli Tarasov (imaginative) and then Viktor Tikhonov (repressive). Dynamic graphics and intriguing interviews, along with sharp anecdotes relating regimen to regime and hockey team to political machine, make for a film that never just skates over its subject, but usually snaps it to life. BG

FILM 51

REVUE // POST-APOCALYPTIC DRAMA

FILM Fri, Sep 26 – Thu, Oct 4 Directed by David Michôd Metro Cinema at the Garneau 

The Rover

Dude, where's my car?

our years after his very impressive debut Animal Kingdom—dubbed "an Australian Goodfellas" by one critic—David Michôd returns with his own ripple in the new wave of Ozploitation flicks (first launched in

the '70s, with Wake in Fright, Mad Max, and more). The Rover begins by looking through a window, grittily, before the man inside the car, Eric (Guy Pearce), gets out and walks into a roadside shanty. It's 10 years after

"the collapse" and Australia's outlaw, outback past has returned, redux. Roads occasionally pass through dusty, dirty, strung-out settlements, their corrugated-metal shacks' inhabitants toting guns, selling basic goods for cash or pimping young men. Eric's soon obsessed with retrieving his car, hijacked by three robbers on the run. In his pursuit, he comes across one robber's brother, twitchy and wide-eyed Rey (Robert Pattinson, quite good), and takes him hostage so he'll lead him to his comrades. Rey speaks with a Southern US drawl (echoes of Deliverance) and seems, initially, dazed and dulled by this desolate new world. The main problem is

that the film does, too, especially in its first half. Michôd brings an arthouse sensibility to the post-apocalypse scenario, but that atmosphere usually gets airless as the action doesn't rove so much as drift and slow-zoom from moody moment to straggly episode. There seems a pointlessness to Eric's quest, and to the film's violence, which reveals only the hollowness and futility of male lawlessness, proving Eric's sense that meanings and morals have dwindled away. Dark blues and greens and browns and fluorescent whites (lamps and headlights) predominate, while Antony Parto's electronic score is appropriately

blipping and fractured. But even the first pointed scene, halfway through, merely pits Eric's bleakly animalistic worldview versus Rey's faintly desperate religious belief. (The script does offer one very good line: "You should never stop thinking about a life you've taken; that's the price you pay for taking it.") There are recurring views through car or house windows, out onto the forbidding landscape, but any sharp-eyed insights into these godforsaken characters or their fallen society are few and far-between. Marking more of a slight decline for its maker, The Rover is that clichéd career dip—the sophomore slump.

Medium to medium

David Lynch's short films show his transition from canvas to celluloid

avid Lynch tells a story about how one day, as a young art student in Philadelphia, he was working on this painting. Green plants were slowly emerging from a blackened canvas. Then he heard wind and, somehow, he saw the canvas move. He realized that this was just what he wanted, to make a painting that has a sound and that moves. So he made a film. It's as eloquent a description as I've heard of how an artist transitions from one medium to another, how discoveries made in one medium feed the other. Lynch's astonishing debut feature Eraserhead (1977), a hallucinatory, hilarious, anxiety-laden, meticulously constructed, five-years-in-production masterpiece about fear of commitment and family, of death and decay, of sex and women, is newly available on DVD and BD from Criterion. Rather than tell you about Eraserhead, which we covered just 15 months ago when Metro Cinema last screened it, I want to tell you about the amazing collection of short films included in Criterion's package, films that, along with Eraserhead, illustrate Lynch's transition from canvas to celluloid, tearing the lid off one of the most fecund imaginations in modern cinema. Nowhere is the nature of this transition more apparent than in Lynch's

first four-minute animated film, "Six Men Getting Sick" (1967), a fusion of Francis Bacon and Jean-Luc Godard. The title is a synopsis: there are indeed six sick men. Soil keeps rising up to their necks, internal organs keep hemorrhaging, a siren keeps surging and fading, mouths keep spilling blood. Life is reduced to an emergency loop. The grotesque is rendered as beautiful trauma. Stunning. Based on a dream had by his wife's niece, "The Alphabet" (1968) features a girl in a bed with problems. Red lips are licked in an iris. Letters give off ectoplasm. There's a profound unease with language at the base of this, or it not language per se then with signifiers or meaning, which makes sense: Lynch would have to give himself permission to elide overt meanings in order to make narrative films. At 33 minutes, "The Grandmother" (1970) is Lynch's first sustained exercise in merging the esthetics of painting and sculpture with those of live-action cinema—not to mention theatre, as there are potent references to kabuki and the absurd in this tale of an abused boy who grows a grandmother for consolation by literally soiling his sheets and wetting his bed. Patricidal fantasies are acted out on a proscenium stage, birthing

imagery is accompanied by the sound of protracted diarrhea. Dark wonder and secret liberation underline "The Grandmother," which is largely silent and seems most indebted to the two Jeans: Vigo and Cocteau. A nurse, played by Lynch himself, gives a sort of pedicure to a woman's leaky stump as she writes a letter in "The Amputee" (1974), a film that came about mainly because Frederick Elmes, who would shoot most of Eraserhead, was asked to test a pair of black and white video stocks. By Lynch standards it is a work of very limited visual allure, but it is characteristically strange and amusing. The final short included in Criterion's set was produced decades after Eraserhead yet feels of a piece with the other works here on account of its inky-fuzzy chiaroscuro painterliness and extreme compaction. Commissioned as part of the Lumière and Company project, which supplied 41 filmmakers with the Lumière brothers' very first wood, metal and glass camera and acetate film stock, "Premonitions Following an Evil Deed" (1995) features police, a scary room, and flames: an excellent set of basic ingredients for a Lynch film, something that bubbles up from the unconscious to beguile, trouble, arouse and amuse.

speak to universal sentiments, something he's done so well on Someday as well as on earlier albums Lives in Between and Anchors. He's discovered that he's got a knack for writing songs in this manner, something that works well for him. But while acknowledging that his last album has clearly had an effect on listeners, he's not too worried about being the songwriter who specializes in melancholy topics. "I don't think it's been that big a success; maybe in the tiny world I live in. In any event, I think I've developed to the point where I'm writing better developed songs and you'll hear that on the next record." In August Mattson hooked up with producer Marcus Paquin (of Arcade Fire's The Suburbs fame) for a recording session; three of the tracks will appear on the Home Records rerelease, so everyone can see just how far Mattson has developed. "I made sure that lyrically the extra songs fit in with the album," Mattson assures. "But there's definitely a progression. Some of the songs I've recorded are more on the poppier side of things. One sounds like it could be the Olympic theme song, it's very big sounding and hookier, but don't worry—there are still the same old sad lyrics."

MUSIC MUSIC // POST-HARDCORE

Taking Back Sunday

Back to Taking Back

ust like the rest of us, when Taking Back Sunday guitarist John Nolan turned on his iPhone a few weeks back he scrolled over and found a new U2 album on iTunes. Unlike most other people, he was less interested in the music than he was in the possible repercussions of this move. It's no secret that bands are having a hard time making back money from recording, so any outside-the-box thinking is being scrutinized by musicians across the board. "At this point it seems like nobody

knows how to sell records anymore, so I'm always interested when someone tries something new," Nolan says on the phone just outside of Saginaw, Michigan. "I'd be interested to know what their deal with Apple was and how much they were paid to do it." The rest of Taking Back Sunday is no doubt also interested in alternate ways to pay for the tour bus rental as well. Formed in 1999 by guitarist Eddie Reyes in Amityville, New York, the post-hardcore band has been plagued by multiple member changes while

still pumping out successful albums from 2004's Where You Want To Be on. An original member, Nolan was eventually a victim of the constant shifting of musicians, leaving in 2003 and then rejoining in 2010 in time for the band's self-titled fifth album. Now, much to his amazement, he's been back for almost as long as his original stint with Reyes, singer Adam Lazzara, bassist Shaun Cooper and Mark O'Connell lasted. "When I left it was because of a falling out with Adam," he reflects. "The

from a major label contract, Taking Back Sunday decided to pay for its own recording and then shop the results around. It was a good move; the album was snatched up by LAbased Hopeless Records, picked up a batch of positive reviews and placed higher on Billboard charts than its predecessor did. "We had a lot of freedom going in, which was a nice feeling," Nolan says. "We didn't have to worry about what the label thought and could get a little more experimental, explore some musical territory that we hadn't on Tue, Sep 30 (8 pm) other albums."

two EPs (2011’s At Six Feet and 2013’s SOL) and is working on a full length for next year, and has kept up a regional touring presence despite making its way through a few guitarists. The fourpiece (vocalist Davis Hay and guitarist Dave Waram round out the band) works slowly but patiently at their craft, possibly using the lessons that parenthood bestow upon them. The Bells have a blended family of five children, all of whom are now well aware that mom and dad are not quite like the others. “They’re old enough now that when we say we’re going on tour for two weeks they’re used to it,” Stephanie laughs. “When my younger one told his friends that we were on the road they would just look at him and say ‘Your parents are death metal musicians?’ I’m sorry, but you have no argument to make. Whether they’re into death metal or not, we’re the coolest. Everyone else’s parents are dentists or whatever, and we play music. No matter what, we win.”

It’s not as though they’re getting too many arguments from their kids. Now that they’re old enough, the Bells are taking them out to events like Farmageddon, the metal festival that takes place yearly outside of Ryley, Alberta. A few of them volunteered, while others just took in the sights and sounds. There’s no word on whether the Bell kids have been completely inculcated into the metal scene after such an intensive weekend, but things are looking good. “Our 16 year old is in grade 12, so she’s been sort of starting into metalcore, bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Black Veil Brides. I was like, ‘You have no idea what you’re about to hear at Farmageddon,’ because there’s just so many kinds of metal there. The kids got to see Idolatry, which has the singer from my husband’s old band. The kids have known him for 11 years, and there he is in front of a black metal band in full corpse paint, acting like a maniac. They’re looking at this, thinking ‘What am I watching?’” TOM MURRAY

WE HAVE FAR TO MANY CLASSIFIEDS THIS WEEK. SO WE’VE HAD TO PUT THE AWNA CLASSIFIEDS ONLINE THIS WEEK VUEWEEKLY.COM/CLASSIFIED/

FREEWILLASTROLOGY ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19): It's no secret. The wealthy one percent of the population has been getting progressively wealthier. Meanwhile, the poor are becoming steadily poorer. I'm worried there is a metaphorically similar trend in your life. Am I right? If so, please do all you can to reverse it. Borrow energy from the rich and abundant parts of your life so as to lift up the neglected and underendowed parts. Here's one example of how you could proceed: for a while, be less concerned with people who think you're a star and give more attention to those who accept and love your shadow side. TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20): "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job," says Bill Gates, the world's second-richest man, "because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." That's good counsel for you right now, Taurus. You'd be wise to get in touch with your inner lazy bum. Let the slacker within you uncover the least stressful way to accomplish your difficult task. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, there is no need for you to suffer and strain as you deal with your dilemma. GEMINI (May 21 – Jun 20): If you don't identify and express your conscious desires, your unconscious desires will dominate your life. I will say that again in different language, because it's crucial you understand the principle. You've got to be very clear about what you really want and install a shining vision of what you really want at the core of your everyday life. If you don't do that, you will end up being controlled by your habits and old programming. So be imperious, Gemini. Define your dearest, strongest longing and be ruthlessly devoted to it.

Guitarists, bassists, vocalists, pianists and drummers needed for good paying teaching jobs. Please call 780-901-7677

CANCER (Jun 21 – Jul 22): Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908 – 2004) was an influential French photographer, a pioneer of photojournalism who helped transform photography into an art form. In 1986 he was invited to Palermo, Sicily to accept a prize for his work. The hotel he stayed in seemed oddly familiar to him, although he didn't understand why. It was only later he discovered that the hotel had been the place at which his mother and father stayed on their honeymoon. It was where he was conceived. I foresee a comparable development on the horizon for you, Cancerian: a return to origins, perhaps inadvertent; an evocative encounter with your roots; a reunification with an influence that helped make you who you are today. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22): With expert execution, musician Ben Lee can play 15 notes per second on his violin. Superstar eater Pete Czerwinski needs just 34 seconds to devour a 12-inch pizza. When Jerry Miculek is holding his rifle, he can get off eight crack shots at four targets in a little more than one second. While upside-down, Aichi Ono is capable of doing 135 perfect head spins in a minute. I don't expect you to be quite so lightning fast and utterly flawless as these people in the coming weeks, Leo, but I do think you will be unusually quick and skillful. For the foreseeable future, speed and efficiency are your specialties. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22): As the makeup artist for the film Dallas Buyers Club, Robin Mathews had a daunting task. During the 23 days of shooting, she had to constantly transform lead actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto so that they appeared either deathly ill or relatively healthy. Sometimes she had to switch them back and forth five

times a day. She was so skillful in accomplishing this feat that she won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Her budget? A meager $250. The film was a shoestring indie production. I'm naming her your inspirational role model for the next few weeks, Virgo. I believe that you, too, can create magic without a wealth of resources. LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22): "I am a seed about to break," wrote Sylvia Plath in her poem "Three Women." That's how I see you right now, Libra. You are teeming with the buoyant energy that throbs when a seed is ready to sprout. You have been biding your time, gathering the nourishment you need, waiting for the right circumstances to burst open with your new flavour. And now that nervous, hopeful, ecstatic moment is about to arrive. Be brave! SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21): The English verb "cicurate" is defined as "to tame or domesticate" or "to make mild or innocuous." But it once had an additional sense: "to reclaim from wildness." It was derived from the Latin word cicurare, which meant "to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness." For your purposes, Scorpio, we will make cicurate your theme, but concentrate on these definitions: "to reclaim from wildness, to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness." In the coming weeks, you will be exploring rough, luxuriant areas of unknown territory. You will be wrangling with primitive, sometimes turbulent energy. I urge you to extract the raw vitality you find there and harness it to serve your daily rhythm and your long-term goals.
