SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – The Peace Pipeline Screening and Filmmaker Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us to watch brilliant satirical film Peace Pipeline and stay for a conversation and bannock with director and actor Gitz Crazyboy. \n\n\nIn the Peace Pipeline\, comedian-activists pose as an Indigenous energy company sharing plans to reroute Enbridge’s pipeline through the wealthy white suburbs of Duluth\, MN\, to more fairly share the risks oil pipelines bring—with shocking and hilarious results. 24 minutes. \n\n\nGitz Crazyboy is a Denesuthine and Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot) activist and youth worker who de-colonizes indigenous studies and teaches the history of Canada’s indigenous population. Working on reservations in rural areas and in cities\, he educates on the destructive nature of the development of the Tar Sands. He is an author (“The Secret of the Stars”)\, an actor (credits include the Darren Aronofsky film “Mother!”) and an impresario (he hosted an episode of VICE’s “Rise\,” and played both himself and a comic fictional character in “The Yes Men Are Revolting”). \n\n\nTito Ybarra is an Anishinaabe and Mexican comedian\, pow-wow singer\, actor and activist. He is well known in Indian Country for his stand-up\, and he has appeared in the TV series “United Shades of America\,” the film “Injunuity\,” and he played both himself and a comic fictional character in “The Yes Men Are Revolting.” He has also been featured on Funny or Die\, and has worked with legendary Native sketch comedy troupe the 1491s. \n\n\nFree screening of this video is presented in recognition of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation\, as part of Xstine Cook’s This is Not My Culture artist residency at CSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Xstine is modifying and altering reclaimed commercial plastic packaging material into an artistic creation during the month of September. \n\n\nThe cSPACE Eau Claire Hub Artist in Residency program is supported by cSPACE Projects and The City of Calgary. \n\n\n*Note that capacity is extremely limited.* If you sign up\, please attend\, or cancel your reservation so that others may. \n\n\nPlease consider a donation to Kids Sport Canada: \n\n\nhttps://kidsportcanada.ca/alberta/calgary/donate/ \n\n\n\n  \nLinks of Interest:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/TitoComedy  \n\n\nPipeline Humour\nhttps://www.facebook.com/APTNNews/videos/454485501866723 \n\n\nStar Tribune Oct 28\, 2019\nhttps://www.startribune.com/enbridge-and-its-controversial-line-3-pipeline-targets-of-hoax/563997772/ \n\n\nWebsite\nhttps://theyesmen.org/project/peacepipeline

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Pollution Solution Screening and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Pollution Solution is a short 6 minute documentary that explores what people are doing about pollution. Made by a group of 6 young cousins who wonder if the world is ending due to human activity. By asking people how they address the pollution crisis in their everyday lives\, and using animation to illustrate the responses\, the filmmakers hope to inspire viewers to do their part in solving the pollution solution. \nStay for a reception and chat after the screening. \nFILMMAKER BIO \nThe Bum Family are a group of 6 cousins from Calgary who create short animated movies together. At the time of making Pollution Solution\, Maezy\, Medina and Zaiyah Dennie were ages 18\, 16 and 14\, and Berlin\, Ocean and Sol Demuth were ages 18\, 16 and 11. The Bum Family write their concepts\, create the artwork\, direct\, animate and edit their movies. Their short films have screened at over 100 film festivals\, and have won awards for Audience Favourite and Best Animation. They have made a short film for Sesame Street\, and their Lilly Monster character is featured in an augmented reality app\, Lilly in the Lab. \nDIRECTOR STATEMENT \nThe state of climate change\, environmental destruction\, and human beings’ undeniable impact on life on earth prompted us to make a film that asks you to consider what your own pollution solutions are. \nThe Bum Family captured all of our interview material in a series of shoots before the Covid19 quarantine period started. The editing and animation process took place after Calgary was asked to go into lockdown\, with both families in isolation from each other. Animation was done digitally\, a first for the Bum Family\, and by stop-motion animating collages made from recycled materials. \nWebsite:\nhttps://bumfamily.com \nInstagram:\nhttps://www.instagram.com/_bum_family_/ \n  \nPhoto credit: The Bum Family

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Watch and Work:Trees and Mushrooms Communicating
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Work is a series of films and documentaries you can watch while artist Xstine Cook works on her Hub residency. Be welcome to bring along a project of your own. Please use the Eventbrite link to register. \nEvent 8: Tuesday September 19\n9pm: Watch and Work: Free screening of Trees and Mushrooms Communicating \nFree screening of a recording of forest ecologist Suzanne Simard’s talk on how trees communicate with fungi\, and with each other. \n\n\nDrop in and enjoy listen to a captivating recording of a talk from Suzanne Simard\, Professor in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia. \nThe talk will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Cook will be working on her art during the screening\, and attendees are welcome to bring along a project they want to work on while watching and listening to the talk. \nAbout the talk: Suzanne Simard has a PhD in Forrest Sciences from Oregon State University. She talks about how the forest is linked through mycorrhizal connections\, how trees communicate with fungi\, and with each other. She explains how large “mother” trees help their offspring\, as well as their “neighbours” thrive in the coniferous forests of the west. A huge cycle\, or “spiral\,” of life is taking place and how humans are impacting the forest system. \nShe also has a movie/documentary on Amazon Prime called Intelligent Trees which will change the way you look at a forest\, especially the old growth forests\, and how important conservation measures are to not only fungi and plants and trees\, but to humans and life on earth as we know it. \nKitsap Peninsula Mycological Society was honored to have her give this talk during a club meeting which was open to non-club members because we feel this topic is so important. \nThe talk will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Cook will be working on her art during the screening\, and attendees are welcome to bring along a project they want to work on while watching and listening to the talk. \nFree screening of this pre-recorded talk is presented as part of Xstine Cook’s This is Not My Culture artist residency at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Xstine will be modifying and altering reclaimed commercial plastic packaging material into an artistic creation during the month of September. \nThe cSPACE Eau Claire Hub Artist in Residence program is supported by cSPACE Projects and The City of Calgary.

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Watch and Work with a Forest Ecologist
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Work – Free screening of a recording of forest ecologist Suzanne Simard’s talk on the interconnectedness of forest systems. \nDrop in and enjoy listening to a recording of Forest Ecologist Suzanne Simard talk where she reveals that trees are part of a complex\, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social\, cooperative creatures connected through underground mycorrhizal networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities\, and share and exchange resources and support. \nThe talk will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Cook will be working on her art during the screening\, and attendees are welcome to bring along a project they want to work on while watching and listening to the talk.\nSimard’s extraordinary research and tenacious efforts to raise awareness on the interconnectedness of forest systems\, both above and below ground\, has revolutionized our understanding of forest ecology. This increasing knowledge is driving a call for more sustainable practices in forestry and land management\, ones that develop strategies based on the forest as a whole entity\, not on trees as isolated individuals. \nMother Trees and the Social Forest was given on June 15\, 02021 as part of Long Now’s Seminar series. The series was started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from some of the world’s leading thinkers. The Seminars take place in San Francisco and are curated and hosted by Stewart Brand. \nThe Long Now Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to fostering long-term thinking and responsibility. Our projects include a 10\,000 Year Clock\, endangered language preservation\, thousand year+ data storage\, and Long Bets\, an arena for accountable predictions. \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/longnow\nTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/longnow \nFree screening of this pre-recorded talk is presented as part of Xstine Cook’s This is Not My Culture artist residency at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub.

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Watch and Work: Naqoyqatsi
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Work is a series of films and documentaries you can watch while artist Xstine Cook works on her Hub residency. Be welcome to bring along a project of your own. Please use the Eventbrite link to register. \nEvent 6: Monday September 11\n9pm: Watch and Work: Free screening of Naqoyqatsi Godfrey Reggio’s 2002 film Life as War. \nDrop in and watch Naqoyqatsi\, also known as Naqoyqatsi: Life as War. This 2002 American non-narrative film directed by Godfrey Reggio and the sequel to Reggio’s experimental 1982 film\, Koyaanisqatsi and 1988’s Powaqqatsi. Naqoyqasti is the third and final film in the Qatsi trilogy. \nNaqoyqatsi is a Hopi word (written as naqö̀yqatsi in Hopi orthography) meaning “life as war.” In the film’s closing credits\, Naqoyqatsi is also translated as “civilized violence” and “a life of killing each other”. A visual montage portrait of our contemporary world dominated by globalized technology and violence. \nWhile Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi examine modern life in industrial countries and the conflict between encroaching industrialization and traditional ways of life\, using slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and natural landscapes\, about eighty percent of Naqoyqatsi uses archive footage and stock images manipulated and processed digitally on non-linear editing (non-sequential) workstations and intercut with specially-produced computer-generated imagery to demonstrate society’s transition from a natural environment to a technology-based one. Reggio described the process as “virtual cinema.” \nAccording to Reggio\, the film has no screenplay per se\, but three movements (like those of a symphony) with different themes:[5]\n1. Numerica.com: Language and place gives way to numerical code and virtual reality.\n2. Circus maximus: Competition\, winning\, records\, fame\, “fair play” and the love of money are elevated to the prime values of life. Life becomes a game.\n3. Rocketship twentieth century: A world that language can no longer describe. The resulting explosive tempo of technology is war and civilized violence. \nRelease date: October 18\, 2002\nDirector: Godfrey Reggio\nMusic composed by: Philip Glass\nSequel: Naqoyqatsi\, Powaqqatsi\nCinematography: Russell Lee Fine \nNaqoyqatsi will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Cook will be working on her art during the screening\, and attendees are welcome to bring along a project they want to work on while watching and listening to the talk. \nFree screening of this movie is presented as part of Xstine Cook’s This is Not My Culture artist residency at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Xstine will be modifying and altering reclaimed commercial plastic packaging material into an artistic creation during the month of September. \nThe cSPACE Eau Claire Hub Artist in Residence program is supported by cSPACE Projects and The City of Calgary. \n*Note that capacity is extremely limited.* If you sign up\, please attend\, or cancel your reservation so that others may. \nPlease consider a donation to Nature Conservancy of Canada \nPlease sign up on Eventbrite.

It is the second film in the Qatsi trilogy. \nPowaqqatsi is a Hopi neologism coined by Reggio meaning “parasitic way of life” or “life in transition.” While Koyaanisqatsi focused on modern life in industrial countries\, Powaqqatsi\, which similarly has no dialogue\, focuses more on the conflict in Third World countries between traditional ways of life and the new ways of life introduced with industrialization. As with Koyaanisqatsi and the third and final part of the ‘Qatsi‘ trilogy\, Naqoyqatsi\, the film is strongly related to its soundtrack\, written by Philip Glass. \nRelease date: April 29\, 1988 \nDirector: Godfrey Reggio \nMusic composed by: Philip Glass \nSequel: Naqoyqatsi \nCinematography: Graham Berry\, Leonidas Zourdoumis \nPowaqqatsi will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub.
