SUMMARY:Ravens Cry Theatre: Film Showing: The Friend
DESCRIPTION:USA 2024\, 119 min\, Drama\nDirector: Scott McGehee\nStarring: Bill Murray\, Naomi Watts\, Cloé Xhauflaire \nWhat’s going to happen to the dog? That becomes the central question in this gently paced exploration of friendship and grief\, both human and canine. The film stars Naomi Watts in a nuanced performance as Iris\, with a supporting role from Bill Murray as Walter. \nWhen Walter dies\, he bequeaths the care of his Great Dane\, Apollo\, to his friend Iris\, who tries to resist caring for this very large dog\, partly due to her small New York apartment but also due to her need to work from home as a writer. Apollo is disruptive to her life and her work. As the story progresses\, both woman and dog create a bond that resists separation and each finds comfort in this new relationship.

SUMMARY:Gibsons Library: Philosophy Cafe
DESCRIPTION:What is the true meaning of “success” in life? What is a “good education”? \nJoin the discussion as we talk about the eternal Big Questions\, moderated by a trained philosopher. The moderator’s aim is not to find winners and losers in a debate\, but to use all viewpoints as clues to the puzzle that\, if completed\, would offer us a truth of sorts. A different topic each time. All are welcome\, including those who would rather mostly listen. \nFacilitated by: Dr. Stephen Hare \nIn person\, drop in. \nWe also host an evening session on one Wednesday evening a month for folks who can’t make it during the day.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Gibsons Public Art Gallery - AMY DYCK | Portals to Elsewhere
DESCRIPTION:Pulling from the artist’s lived experience with disability and difficulty\, this exhibition in the Main Gallery is filled with creatures that are nuanced and strange\, broken and fierce\, and filled with conflicting layers that make up the whole of who they are. Mixed media sculptures\, drawings\, oil paintings\, and collage are used to create figures evolving through time\, existing in a wild place where strange beings can stretch their legs\, escape\, belong\, or find their place in the world. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday\, January 17th\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Gibsons Public Art Gallery - BOISMIER\, LOGAN\, TAYLOR | Three Ways Home
DESCRIPTION:A dynamic\, multifaceted portrait of Sunshine Coast life in the Eve Smart Gallery\, sparking conversation and reflection on memory\, environment\, and interpretation. United by place but distinct in perspective\, each artist offers a unique interpretation of the Sunshine Coast’s iconic landscapes. Eva Taylor’s vivid acrylic landscapes capture the Coast’s energy and colour\, Matthew Boismier’s evocative watercolours reflect the emotional tone of the environment\, and Cambria Logan’s high contrast minimalism and use of a variety of mediums lend themselves to the creation of striking sculptural works. Together\, these artists invite viewers to explore how a shared subject can be transformed through three artistic lenses. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday\, January 17th\, 2pm – 4pm!
