Premiered to great acclaim at Whitehorse's Available Light Film Festival in 2012, this special live event recreates Canadian silent film icon Nell Shipman's classic melodrama The Grub-Stake with a new musical score and dialogue derived from the works of William Shakespeare.
Previously performed to great acclaim at Whitehorse's Available Light Film Festival, the Vancouver International Film Festival and Edmonton's Garneau Theatre, this special live event is an engrossing and hilarious salute to Canadian cinema history. Taking Canadian silent-film icon Nell Shipman's classic melodrama The Grub-Stake — a marvellous adventure saga about a pure-hearted laundress (Shipman) battling a lascivious villain in the snowy wilderness of the Klondike — Whitehorse-based filmmaker and composer Daniel Janke created both a score for the film and, with the collaboration of Celia McBride and Eric Epstein, an alternative script comprised entirely of dialogue from the works of William Shakespeare. Performed live on stage by an outstanding cast of actors and musicians, The Grub-Stake Revisited is a unique fusion of film, theatre and music that promises to be (in the immortal words of Ms. Shipman) a "sockeroo"!

The staggeringly ambitious and stylistically bold first feature by Benh Zeitlin took Sundance by storm with its magical realist tale of a young girl who embarks on an increasingly bizarre odyssey through a flooded, post-apocalyptic American South.

The staggeringly ambitious and stylistically bold first feature by Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild took the Sundance Film Festival by storm with its eccentric, wholly unique vision of ecological apocalypse. Hushpuppy (an astonishing debut by Quvenzhané Wallis) is a six-year-old girl living with her boozing father Wink (Dwight Henry) in a Louisiana shantytown called "The Bathtub," so named because its location in a valley will cause it to be totally wiped out in the event of a flood. When the rains do in fact come and the town is duly washed away, Hushpuppy and Wink embark on an increasingly bizarre odyssey to restart their lives, and the world itself. Unforgettable, indescribable and unmissable, Beasts of the Southern Wild is "among the best films to play at [Sundance] in two decades" (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times); "a stunning debut" (Peter Debruge, Variety).
