What would you do if the sun did not rise for a day? In 1982 in the Red River Valley of Manitoba, a crowd comes together for the unveiling of a statue, not knowing that a day of total darkness is upon them. Shot on 16mm film using broken Bolex cameras, Levers creates an intimate, dreamlike atmosphere with entrancing sounds, beautiful visuals, and an unsettling storyline that mixes fantasy and reality. Introduction by the filmmaker Rhayne Vermette and performance by the soundtrack composer, Bret Parenteau (Winnipeg).
The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month. The Film Theatre has “something for everyone” and is the only cinema in the city to consistently present critically-acclaimed contemporary and alternative cinema: Canadian, foreign and independent films and documentaries.
For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
