The Arts Station

Indie Film Fernie at the Vogue Theatre, 321 2nd Ave.

Guy Maddin is coming to Fernie for the screening of his film on March 10. There will be a post screening reception at the Old Elevator Restaurant. All movie goers are invited to attend.

Guy Maddin (Sullivan Brown) reluctantly returns to his childhood home, an abandoned Canadian island, where his parents ran an orphanage. As Guy fulfills his dying mother’s request to paint the lighthouse which served as the orphanage, memories of strange events there overpower him. An undercover investigation by child author/detective Wendy (Katherine Scharhon) and a revolt by the repressed children, blew open a cover-up by Guy’s parents. Wendy disguised herself as her brother Chance and discovered that Maddin’s inventor father performed outré scientific experiments on the orphans. In black and white, with title cards, plus narration by Isabella Rossellini.

Tickets at the Door. FDAC Member: $9/adult; $8/youth. Non-member: $10/adult; $9/youth.
As well, for Brand Upon the Brain, tickets will be available in advance, at the Arts Station, between 11am and 2pm, the day of the film.
