| Description: Jan. 29th - Feb. 17th, 2008 > Morwyn Brebner’s bittersweet comedy traps two couples in one Las Vegas hotel room. Chick and Teenie are on the verge of getting married; Doug and Margie are on the verge of splitting up. Will anyone live happily ever after?

Apr. 1st - 20th > 5 O'Clock Bells - 5 O’Clock Bells sheds biographical and musical light on Lenny Breau, one of Canada’s unsung musical heroes. From the country music of his childhood, to the avant-garde experimentations of the sixties, to bonafide jazz stardom, Breau’s life was one long musical wave. Like many jazz geniuses, Breau struggled against drug addiction. His life ended prematurely when his body was found at the bottom of a Los Angeles swimming pool in 1984, in an unresolved homicide. Pierre Brault examines the musical reflection of Breau’s life from the bottom of the pool, where liquid wave meets sound wave.
