In this award winning film, we watch the life and times of Mark Sandman (lead singer of 90s “low rock” band, Morphine) unfold from his humble beginnings in Newton, Massachusetts to his untimely death on stage in Palestrina, Italy in 1999 at age 47.

Telling the story of how Sandman’s troubled life as a boy and how it brought him to numerous bands prior to the fruition of Morphine. With footage from home movies, TV news and concerts strewn together with photographs, postcards, pages from Sandman’s mother’s memoir, and even appearances by well known artists, such as, Les Claypool, Josh Homme, Mike Watt, and Ben Harper, Cure for Pain will educate even the most avid music and film buff.

Join Lucas Myers as he examines the fine line between perfectionism and obsession and why a piece of 2×6 lumber is not really two inches by six inches. Not even close. DECK stars Cliv, a meticulous single parent of two who has been forced to reassess his future after taking losses in the recession. He embraces a new start in a small town but his attempts at self-sufficiency are highjacked by a bad house buy and he is forced to try his hand at home improvement. DECK is a darkly hilariuos take on the modern milieu of a small town, semi-urban environment. Please note: this performance is not suitable for children as it involves power tools, physics and partial nudity. www.pilotcopilot.com. Tickets at The Arts Station, Freshies and Carosella.

Christine Stufano Simpson

Opens Thursday, January 26th at 7pm
Show Continues Until Tuesday, February 21

A self taught artist, Christine works in many different mediums incorporating bark, tree resin, bone and other unusual materials into her work. Christine’s art attempts to both capture and inspire the human spirit.  Her art is an alchemy of the awe, respect, and the overwhelming inspiration she perceives in nature. The show will take the viewer on a journey of work created from the artist’s reactions to life and nature, a visual feast of mixed media, landscapes, body prints and a few surprises.

The Artist (France/ Belgium)

“We didn’t need dialogue. We had faces.” That’s Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, the over-the-hill silent film star in the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard. “The Artist” is a new black and white silent movie that doesn’t need dialogue either. It has faces and they belong to George Valentin, a silent movie superstar and Peppy Miller, a spunky ingénue. Their story takes place in the early days of Hollywood before the advent of talking pictures, when someone like Valentin could grin with such a winning combination of self- confidence, self-deprecation and self-awareness, that dialogue was redundant. A combination of delightful humour and charm.
