SUMMARY:Community Screening: Mammoth Hunters
DESCRIPTION:A sneak peak at\nMammoth Hunters\n2025\, Yukon\nFritz Mueller\, Teresa Earle \nIn the summer of 2022\, a miner struck more than gold in Canada’s Yukon. A fully preserved infant woolly mammoth that died 36\,000 years ago protruded from the Arctic permafrost\, her flesh still pink and green grass in her belly. Mammoth Hunters is a feature documentary that takes us on a journey back through time as we join five mammoth lovers –– scientists\, artists and citizen detectives –– to solve the riddle of these ancient and charismatic animals. Like a puzzle itself\, the film blends ecology\, history\, spirituality and the mystery that is deep time to reveal the bonds that link humanity to these Ice Age giants. \nFilmmakers Fritz Mueller  & Teresa Earle and subjects from the film in attendance for a Q&A. \n$10 in advance or at the door  \n(Cash Concessions) \n

SUMMARY:Sarah MacDougall Live Concert at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom
DESCRIPTION:Doors – 7:30 / Music – 8:00\nAdmission by donation at the door \nMultiple Award winning singer/songwriter Sarah MacDougall is known for her poetic songs and passionate performances. Sarah mixes folk\, pop\, and rock elements into her infectious\, often epic songs. Born in Sweden\, now based in Canada\, Swedish magazine Nöjesguiden declared her: “one of Sweden’s best singer/songwriters’ and Rootstime Belgium described her as ‘One of the greatest talents of our era”.\n\nSarah has played festivals such as Iceland Airwaves\, Edmonton Folk Festival\, Reeperbahn\, and has shared the stage with artists such as Bruce Cockburn\, Tallest Man on Earth\, Buffy St. Marie\, Passenger\, and more. \nHer most recent release\, ‘All The Hours I Have Left To Tell You Anything’ is a record about strength\, identity\, death\, the breakdown of relationships\, birth\, and the ghosts we honor and carry throughout. It is Sarah’s fourth record. It was written in the midst of the death of her grandparents\, the birth of her niece\, and a break up. The nine songs are also influenced by the places that made her and changed her: the dark beauty of Scandinavia the vastness of the Canadian North .\nSarah is working on a new album\, set to be released 2024/2025. \n— \nOpening up is Bird Feet: \nBird Feet is an evolving experimental sound project by Kim Edgar. Using looper pedals\, synths\, and other weird effects\, they create hypnotic and ritualistic live loops and then sing weird songs overtop!

SUMMARY:Film Workshop: Cameraless filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:SCRATCH IT OUT! \nA great opportunity for participants to make their own 35mm animated or experimental film without a camera and without processing film. Animators like Norman McLaren and Len Lye explored the technique of direct cinema in the 1930s and almost 90 years later\, it still continuously surprises audiences. \nThe workshop will explore the multiple techniques of cameraless filmmaking and discover new ones along the way. Over the course of the week\, participants will be introduced to materials and tools that can be applied effectively through scratching\, painting and collage – directly on to the surface of motion picture film. We will also learn efficient methods of digitizing the work as moving image files using DIY scanning methods and re-purposing existing applications. \nAs the week progresses\, we take our ideas further\, shaping our projects with digital sound and music. And finally\, we will give our project life\, discovering new ways to implement finished films with popular digital editing and projection software. \nThe final workshop film will be shown at Sunday evening’s 8pm screening. \nThis workshop will take place in 3 parts\, allowing participants to work extensively on their pieces of film with the mentor available for questions and advice. \nIn the KIAC CLassroom \nTuesday\, April 15\, 6-9pm \nWednesday\, April 16\, 6-9pm \nFriday\, April 18\, Noon-3pm \nParticipants can come to one\, 2 or all 3 sessions. \nThe workshop is free. Please register at filmfest@kiac.ca or 993-5005 \nSteven Woloshen was born in Laval\, Canada in 1960. For more than 30 years\, he has passionately created over 50 award-winning\, abstract films and time-based installations for festivals\, galleries and museums. Twice nominated for Canada’s Governor General’s award\, he has received numerous research and creation grants and\, most recently\, was awarded the 2016 René Jodoin lifetime achievement award\, 2015 Wiesbaden Lifetime Achievement Award.

SUMMARY:CULT CINEMA at the ELDORADO
DESCRIPTION:All the Colors of the Dark\n\n\nDirected by Sergio Martino • 1972 • Italy\nStarring Edwige Fenech\, George Hilton\, George Rigaud \nAfter suffering the loss of a child\, a woman joins a Satanic cult with the hope of ridding herself of nightmarish dreams—but rather than easing her trauma\, she soon finds her darkest\, most disturbing fears coming to life. Featuring a striking performance from Edwige Fenech and directed by often-overlooked giallo master Sergio Martino\, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK (a.k.a. THEY’RE COMING TO GET YOU!) is a feverishly surreal immersion into a woman’s unraveling mind that\, with its kaleidoscopic cinematography and trippy score by Bruno Nicolai\, approaches full-on psychedelic freakout.

The Act of Living marks Wallace’s latest artistic evolution\, offering an exploration of life’s most profound experiences\, with songs that are both cathartic and reflective. Produced alongside Hawksley Workman and released on Tiny Kingdom\, The Act of Living finds Skye fully embracing the grungy\, unbridled enthusiasm of their live performances\, as they invite listeners on a journey of near-death experiences\, dream worlds\, loss\, and rebirth. \nThanks to our funders and partners:\nCanada Council for the Arts | Government of Canada | Yukon Government | Park Canada | North Klondyke Highway Music Society
