Get your elbows up, it's time to support our national arts...On this special episode we are celebrating the shared pleasure and experience of watching a movie in theatre, which just feels appropriate because it is National Canadian Film Day.We sat down with Eric Tisch, one of hard working team over at National Canadian Film Day who put on a myriad of events all across the country about what he did last year during the Toronto International Film Festival.To put it simply, he broke the Guinness World Record for the amount of feature films seen during a film festival.  It was ALOT....and yes many of them were Canadian.We talked about the birth of the idea of this daunting task, the team work involved in getting it done and the magic of being able to watch movies the way they really should be seen....together.

Guests: Jack Blum and Sharon Corder, co-founders of National Canadian Film Day Over the past few months, the president of the United States has done more to solidify a sense of Canadian identity than anyone in the past few decades.Suddenly Canadians are examining grocery labels to see what's made here, looking at their investment portfolios to see if their dollars are working here, and an entire election has turned into a celebration of Canadian patriotism. But perhaps nowhere has U.S. domination been bigger than in the entertainment industry — our TV screens and (especially) our movie screens are dominated by Hollywood. National Canadian Film Day this week is a chance to break out of that American mindset, offering 1,800 free screenings of Canadian movies in cinemas, concert theaters, libraries, malls, legion halls and anywhere else people can fit a screen. Founders Jack Blum and Sharon Corder of Reel Canada talk about why they started on a mission to show people great Canadian movies, and why that mission seems especially appropriate at this moment. Plus some highlights of movies being shown Wednesday in and around Toronto, where “I guarantee there's a screening within a few blocks of you, wherever you are.” PLUS: Some picks for the best onscreen moments of Canadian patriotism. This episode was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Ed Keenan & Paulo Marques

Today is National Canadian Film Day, and therefore we are talking about all things Canadian film.  National Canadian Film Day is a massive one day celebration of Canadian film and filmmaking.  This year the spotlight is shone brightly on Indigenous voices and their stories. We watched and discuss a few of the spotlighted films and Canadian film in general.  

We begin with a look at the rising price of home electric and heating bills in the Province. We get details on a new study on what's behind the increase from the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. Next, we continue our conversation on energy with a look at a ‘green' solution. We learn about new technology, created by a Calgarian, which recycles ‘heat energy' from wastewater. We catch up with Lynn Mueller, CEO of “SHARC Energy Systems”. It's one more sign of the ‘diversification' of Alberta's economy. We get details on the “Alberta Technology Symposium” taking place this week at the Grand Theatre. Finally, it's “National Canadian Film Day!” A nationwide celebration featuring more than 1,000 events where audiences can be ‘entertained' by all that Canada has to offer when it comes to film. We get details from Jack Blum, Executive Director of ‘REEL Canada'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week in honour of National Canadian Film Day we watched the highest-grossing technically Canadian film ever made: Resident Evil Afterlife! We talk about what is happening in the movie, why it is happening, and do not come up with any answers, but have a lot more questions.  We kinda lost our minds.

NCFD is the world’s largest film festival, with more than 800 Canadian film screenings and events expected across the country and around the world.REEL CANADA is a non-profit, charitable organization that promotes the diversity of Canadian film and its power to spark important conversations about what it means to be Canadian. This year will mark six years of celebrating the incredible achievements of our nation’s filmmakers. More significantly, it marks an important milestone: the centennial of Canada’s first genuine blockbuster — and oldest surviving feature film — Nell Shipman’s Back to God’s Country, a sassy, snowy adventure story that remains Canada’s most successful silent film. We will celebrate by looking back on the past 100 years of Canadian cinema, offering a selection of films that are equally chock-full of snow and sass!Our screening hosts include every kind of organization, from libraries, community centres, and retirement residences, to film festivals, cinemas, and art galleries, to military bases and embassies.NCFD is a huge endeavour that’s made possible through the efforts of dedicated sponsors and partners who continue to support us year after year. We’re thrilled that so many of our partners are returning in 2019, including the Government of Canada, Telefilm Canada, Cineplex, TD, Netflix, encore+, and Landmark Cinemas.For those who want to watch a great Canadian film in the comfort of their home, a wealth of programming will be available on TV and online.Biography:Jack Blum and Sharon Corder spent many years working as a team in the film and television industry, with dozens of hours of television drama to their credit as writer-producers and/or directors. In addition to work on many Canadian and American series, highlights include the co-creation of the award-winning series TRADERS, and their feature film, BABYFACE, which had its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival. In 2005, after years of advocating for the Canadian voice in film, they founded REEL CANADA, a groundbreaking programme aimed at making Canadian film more accessible to new audiences. Since then, the organization has presented screenings and introduced Canadian film artists to hundreds of thousands of high school students in all provinces and territories and in both French and English. In 2010, they expanded the programme to serve adult newcomers to Canada through their English classes, and in 2014, they created National Canadian Film Day, which has become an annual celebration of Canadian film across the country and around the world. The 2019 edition of National Canadian Film Day features more than 1000 screenings in Canada and internationally in 23 countries outside of Canada.Image Copyright: Reel Canada.

In this, episode 44 of season 2 of Flicks XRayed in honor of National Canadian Film Day we watch and review the classic Strange Brew. The host Tony is joined by co-host Devo and guests, our own Hose Head Joe and introducing Beer Counter Taylor. This week we play a game of Boozy Buddy Comedy Haiku Synopsis for the coveted princess crown. So tune in as we discuss at length about SCTV, A Movie Within a Movie, Radioactive Beer Granting Super Powers and so much more.

Bad Coyote, the 2013 documentary that purports to explore the state of Atlantic Canadians during a cull of coyotes after the tragic death of folksinger Taylor Mitchell in October 2009, is available to view online.  The documentary was released online as part of the National Film Board’s National Canadian Film Day this year. In the last week, several listeners, supporters of The Fur-Bearers, and friends, contacted the show and The Fur-Bearers to let us know that it was available for online viewing, and that the link was being passed around. The write-up for Bad Coyote states that it asks if residents’ fears of a new “super species” are justified, or if they’re responding to fear mongering. While many filmmakers would have gone to great lengths to sensationalize beyond the title, writer and director Jason Andrew Young made clear efforts to provide some balance. This was accomplished namely through interviews with Taylor Mitchell’s mother, Emily Mitchell, who advocated for compassion to wildlife and an end to the cull, and Dr. Simon Gadbois, a canid researcher at Dalhousie University. Though time is given to Dr. Gadbois, frequently his scientific-based statements are cut down to simple soundbites, and, ultimately rejected by the so-called folk logic of those who profit from the exploitation of coyotes, without an opportunity for rebuttal. Even the very question of what exactly happened on October 27, 2009, which led to the death of Ms. Mitchell in hospital the following day, isn’t fully explored – and that’s where our interview with Dr. Simon Gadbois, an opportunity for discussion and in-depth rebuttals, begins on this week’s episode.

That's how the conversation started, at least. It morphed into how do we behave when we go for a walk, and eventually into the steps I take (Brett) to make sure not to scare anyone if I come up behind them when I'm out for a walk. 18:23 - Are there any intersections in Winnipeg that drive you insane? Whether it's because you have to wait too long, or the light is too short, or it's confusing, or whatever? As a driver, or pedestrian. When I walk to work, I have to cross Portage at Tylehurst to get to and through Polo Park to get to work. It feels like I can stand there for up to five minutes some times waiting to get across! CURSES. 36:59 - Len Cariou & Tina Keeper, Manitoba Talent Ambassadors and hosts of an event Wednesday evening at the Centennial Concert Hall -- Local film "Lovesick", from Winnipeg's Tyson Caron, selected for exclusive screening in celebration of National Canadian Film Day.
