Riceboy Sleeps
2023-04-03 16:00 - 17:57 (America/Vancouver)
Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA presents Riceboy Sleeps at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail on Monday, April 3rd at 4 pm.
$12/person – No assigned seating. Only 143 seats available.
“Riceboy Sleeps” is a compassionate and poetic film about a South Korean single mother determined to provide a better life for her young son in the suburbs of Canada.
After losing her husband, So-young relocates to Canada in the 1990s with their young son, Dong-hyun. As Dong-hyun is brutally bullied by his classmates, his mother battles loneliness, racism, and sexism at work causing a rift to grow between mother and son.
Director Anthony Shim uses his own experiences growing up in British Columbia in the 1990s as inspiration for the film. His portrayal of the very different perspectives of a boy and his mother, perfectly captures Dong-hyun’s loneliness and frustration, and So-young’s isolation and sacrifices, as he elegantly interweaves social realism with fable-like sequences.
Some subtitles.
Director: Anthony Shim / Cast: Choi Seung-yoon, Ethan Hwang, Dohyun Noel Hwang / Country: Canada / Length: 1hr 57 mins / Language: English, Korean / Genre: Drama // Rating: TBA

“The tender bond between a mother and her son underpins a poignant coming-of-age story in Riceboy Sleeps.” – Allan Hunter, Screen International
“This tender and tragic film gracefully expresses not only the sense of being an outsider, but tells the story in a way that all audiences can understand, making it easier for viewers to relate to the immigrant experience…” – Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots

My Small Land
2023-03-27 16:00 - 17:54
Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA presents My Small Land at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail on Monday, March 27th at 4 pm.
$12/person – No assigned seating. Only 143 seats available.
“My Small Land” is a coming-of-age story that explores the tragic realities of refugees in a sensitive film about the balancing act of a young refugee who is caught between two worlds and searching for a sense of belonging.
For Sarya (17), a Kurdish refugee from Turkey who as settled in Japan, life seems to be looking up. Her grades at school are enough to pursue college, she’s surrounded with good friends and her relationship with Sota is becoming special despite her conflicted feelings about her obligations to her family. However, her life is turned upside down when her family’s refugee status is turned down. When her father is taken into custody for illegal employment, Sarya, whose mother is dead,is forced to be responsible for her younger siblings as well as herself.
Subtitles
Director: Emma Kawawada / Cast: Lina Arashi, Takashi Fujii, Sei Hiraizumi / Country: France, Japan / Length: 1hr 54 mins / Language: Japanese, Turkish, Kurdish / / Genre: Drama / Rating: TBA
“…the strength of “My Small Land” lies in the observation of our social interactions. It has a timeless and universal power that is touching and leaves one at times quite desperate.” – Asian Movie Pulse
“Ultimately, My Small Land shows there isn’t just one answer to the questions of “where are you from?” or “where do you belong?” Kawawada confronts these realities and presents them in a delicate and intimate way, inflected in a beautiful sadness that comes from uncertainty about the future.” – Cinema Escapist
“My Small Land” builds in dramatic power. It offers no easy answers, only the hard truth that, for refugees like Sarya, Japan’s much-trumpeted omotenashi (hospitality) becomes a bitter irony, with the looming specter of deportation to a “homeland” of poverty or, in the case of the stateless Kurds, possible arrest, torture and death.” – The Japan Times
Monday Cinema is presented by Trail and District Arts Council and screens at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail.

In ROOF, a humorous yet socially conscious one-person show, Lucas Myers weaves together elements of stand-up comedy, physical theatre, and his trademark brand of observational humor to tell the story of Dave and Stevie.
Dave is a highly successful real estate agent who is living the dream: hot car, great kids, beautiful wife, gorgeous sound system, designer kitchen. Just as he is about to launch his own self-improvement video series, #HiMyNameIsDave, he discovers major issues with his roof and cracks begin to form in his perfect world. Enter Stevie, a journeyman roofer with aspirations of being a stand-up comic, who is the only person capable of dealing with Dave’s narcissistic hyper vigilance. As they attempt to collaborateon the roof project, Stevie forces Dave to confront his shortcomings and come to terms with what being a good person really means. As their initial views of each other are challenged, ROOF examines our preconceptions around mental health, addiction, and homelessness as the characters are forced to confront their own assumptions.
Created and performed by Lucas Myers, the creator of A Beginners Guide to Nelsonia, CAMPGROUND and DECK.

In John Alleyne’s Split House Geometric (1989-1990), poetic moments of pure contemporary ballet are juxtaposed with staccato movements with bodies creating geometric shapes to brilliant effect. First created for The National Ballet of Canada, this vigorous, precision-perfect work is set to Arvo Pärt’s Fratres.
Next, National Ballet of Canada Choreographic Associate Guillaume Côté brings strength and fragility to a fascinating interpretation of the beloved Bolero by Maurice Ravel, one of music’s most famous and identifiable melodies. A “riveting tour de force” (Dance Magazine), Bolero (2012) features breath-taking lifts and virtuosic choreography. View the Bolero trailer here

Rounding out the program is taqəš, (2021), which means “to return something” in Ayajuthem, the language belonging to the Homalco, Klahoose, K’omoks and Tla’amin Nations. Visionary choreographer Cameron Fraser-Monroe brings his classical ballet training, knowledge of traditional Coast Salish, Grass, Hoop Dance, and experience as a contemporary dancer to this poignant piece. Set to several songs by Polaris Prize-winning composer and singer Jeremy Dutcher, taqəš follows the traditional story “Raven Returns the Water”, centred around Raven (P̓oho) and Frog (Walθ).

During the show vegetables are sliced in half by flying playing cards, flaming torches and bowling balls are juggled with ease and every audience volunteer leaves the stage in triumph.

Formerly of the award-winning duo Brothers from Different Mothers, Zerbe is a Hacky Sack World Champion, was voted The Pacific Northwest’s Funniest Prop Comic and is currently ranked Seattle’s 3rd Best Air Guitarist. Heʼs performed everywhere from cruise ships and comedy clubs to prime-time television in three countries, including “Americaʼs Got Talent!” and “Last Comic Standing.”

Based in Quebec, Oktopus is a major presence on the Canadian world music scene, with over 250 performances to its credit at home and abroad. The octet is primarily devoted to klezmer—the musical heritage of Eastern European Jews—distinguished by a novel approach that incorporates various components of the classical and Quebecois repertoire, with some jazz and Balkan accents. ​
The group’s eight virtuoso musicians offer festive, high-energy performances, at once melancholic and profound, sprinkled with humour and spiced with narrative, in which original compositions and finely crafted arrangements combine with improvisation. Its members’ complicity, shared passion, and hard work are what makes each of their performances so memorable, Oktopus is simply… ‘spectentacular’!
Oktopus’ distinctive music is undeniably rooted in the klezmer tradition, reflecting the rich history of a thousand-year-old community, its persecutions and celebrations, tears and laughter, or both at the same time. The members of Oktopus are inspired by the music they hear throughout their own travels. Thus, the melodies of several classical composers, such as Bartók, ​Brahms, Prokofiev or Enescu are rearranged by the octet, particularly their works derived from folk themes. Quebec songwriters are also sources of inspiration, with Leclerc and Vigneault being added to the group’s repertoire. ​

Body Positive Bollywood
2023-02-11 15:00 - 16:00
Trail Arts Council’s TECK Family Series 2022-23 presents Body Positive Bollywood with Karima Essa on Saturday, Feb 11, 2023 at 3 pm in The Bailey Theatre.
A three-time Canadian National Dance champion, Karima Essa is Vancouver’s very own Bollywood star. An incredibly charismatic and passionate performer, choreographer and instructor, she has used her one-of-a-kind Bollywood talent to entertain diverse audiences across Canada.
Karima’s workshop-style dance show celebrates Bollywood dance as a fun, cultural artform infusing music, breathing and ideologies from the Middle East and South Asia. She encourages the audience to learn the basic elements, including signature neck and head movements, facial expressions and foot and hand movements, all to current Bollywood hits. Students of all shapes and sizes will leave inspired to accept and love themselves inside and out, on and off the dance floor!
Since age 4, Karima’s been gracing the stage in dance competitions, events and OMNI TV’s Bollywood Star reality show. When she hit puberty at 11, her body unwittingly became a blank canvas in which people could “paint” their admiration and adoration or their judgement and criticism. She grew up thinking she needed to be a “size zero” fuelled by the vanity of the Bollywood industry. However, she has finally grown to love her new, beautiful body.
“She was charismatic and funny and her show had just the right amount of watch-and-learn and follow-me!” – Lakewood Elementary School
“Karima Essa was fun, high energy and had our entire community audience engaged!” – Queensborough Community Centre
​“Watching her perform inspires people from toddler to senior to join in, and Karima’s praise, levity and pure love keeps people dancing – and coming back for more.” – Kitsilano Community Centre Community

Rosie
2023-02-06 16:00 - 17:32
Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA presents
ROSIE
at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail.
Monday, February 6th @ 4 pm
$12/person – No assigned seating. Only 143 seats available.
A film about family, love, and misfits, ROSIE tells the story of a young, orphaned, Indigenous girl who is forced to live with her reluctant, street-smart Aunty Fred. Rosie is thrust into the fringes of 1980’s Montréal into the care of Fred, who just lost her job, is on the verge of eviction, and who looks and sounds nothing like her. Fred, an artist who creates art from found and discarded objects or other peoples’ trash, introduces Rosie to her two best friends Flo and Mo, glamorous human beings who refuse to be confined by gender. In the end, Rosie transforms the lives of these colourful characters and finds love, acceptance, and a true HOME with her new chosen family of glittering outsiders.
“While quite a few films have grappled with this idea, few recent ones have done so with as much heart or charm as this one by Canadian writer-director Gail Maurice.” – Globe and Mail
“ROSIE reminds us that one can find community in the direst of situations, sometimes you just need to choose who that family will be.” – That Shelf
“An uplifting story of acceptance, self worth, and the art of embracing exactly who you were born to be. That’s a message the world certainly could use a bit more of.” – Screen Zealots
Some Subtitles. Swearing.

2023-02-03 19:30 - 21:30
Trail Arts Council presents Candice Roberts’ LARRY, one dude’s journey into the feminine, on Friday, February 3rd at 7:30 pm in The Bailey Theatre.
Award-winning Canadian Clown Artist Candice Roberts assumes her alter ego in this daring, smart, and gut-busting portrait of a small-town Canadian dude’s hilarious attempt at self-improvement. With rock and roll and a little life-coaching, Larry tries to prove that he’s worthy of a good woman, can quit drinkin’ and even take up “medertation” as he delves into his psyche and uncovers a little more than anyone expected.
Culled lovingly from the male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing, LARRY helps Candice compassionately examine the limitations of the gender binary, aging as a woman in society, and the complexities of being human.

Triangle of Sadness
2023-01-30 16:00 - 18:27
Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA presents
Triangle of Sadness
at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail.
Monday, January 30, 2023 @ 4 pm
$12/person – No assigned seating. Only 143 seats available.
In Ruben Östlund’s wickedly funny Palme d’Or winner, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty.
The director of festival favourites “The Square” and “Force Majeure” is a master of satire and in the absurd, iconoclastic riot “Triangle of Sadness” his mix of farcical comedy and searing indictment is more extreme than ever.
Celebrity model couple, Carl and Yaya, are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich because of their Insta-influencer status, rubbing shoulders with arms dealers and Russian oligarchs. The “carnival of excess” is made even more ridiculous as their boat captain, played hilariously by Woody Harrelson, is an unhinged alcoholic Marxist. And when disaster strikes dynamics shift and the crew finally get the upper hand.
Please note, this film has a scene of vomiting for an extended period of time. Some Subtitles.
“… Triangle of Sadness is harrowing, consistently funny, and packed with surprises.” – Chicago Reader
“An absurd, iconoclastic riot…hilariously, breathlessly entertaining.” – Empire Magazine

Aspiring singer-songwriter Carey is falling for Owen, a clerk at the local bookstore. The problem is that she’s married, and still deeply in love with her husband, Simon, who she’s having a baby with. Complicating it further is Simon’s crusty mother, Bev, who ends even the most cheerful and tender encounters with a caustic comment about men’s unfaithfulness.
The film gets into Carey’s headspace, showing what attracts her to both men. Carey and Simon enjoy wisecracking and private games, but are weighed down by new responsibilities, while Owen offers the exciting feeling of new love.
“The Swearing Jar” looks at love, forgiveness, and self-recrimination and asks, ‘what happens when you find not one, but two, true soul mates.
“The Swearing Jar will play with your emotions and your anticipations. But it will also earn every tug on your heartstrings, every reversal of expectation.” – National Post

When a network of Brazilian farmers seizes a protected area of the Amazon rainforest, a young Indigenous leader and his mentor must fight back in defense of the land and an uncontacted group living deep within the forest.
“THE TERRITORY” provides an immersive on-the-ground look at the tireless fight of the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers in the Brazilian Amazon. With awe-inspiring cinematography showcasing the titular landscape and richly textured sound design, the film takes audiences deep into the Uru-eu-wau-wau community and provides unprecedented access to the farmers and settlers illegally burning and clearing the protected Indigenous land. Partially shot by the Uru-eu-wau-wau people, the film relies on vérité footage captured over three years as the community risks their lives to set up their own news media team in the hopes of exposing the truth.
“Gorgeously and… ingeniously conceived,” THE TERRITORY makes “a bold statement about the lens through which indigenous peoples are often brought to the silver screen.” – IndieWire
“It’s an exceptional documentary that finds hope amid despair.” – San Jose Mercury News
“Pritz’s docu-thriller…is hard to tear away from, with moments of beauty, but also of heart-racing dread.” – BuzzFeed News
