Calgary movies! There’s a bunch of ’em! Some are Hollywood productions just using us as a location, while others are local creations through and through.
Drag Fu film more classic, comedy camp from Canadian director Lee Demarbre. There’s a new drag kung fu movie out, and it’s from the guy who made 2001’s gloriously silly Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, so fucking pay attention!
It’s hard not to automatically associate the seedier side of things with the term "adult theatre.” Neon matinees shrieking "PEEP SHOW” and “LIVE! NUDE! GIRLS!” on a smoky New York street, as leather-jacketed, bell-bottomed, late night denizens of the ’70s city bustle by hawkers trying to lure late-night lotharios inside.
Meet Me In the Bathroom, the documentarized version of Lizzy Goodman’s 2017 oral archive of the late '90s/early aughts trajectory of New York rock ‘n’ roll revivalists like The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Interpol, and LCD Soundsystem, though impressive for the sheer scale of its “you had to be there” found footage, might be better served as a visual companion to the book.
Hibernation is a little more entertaining this year and sociable. After a couple of online-only and hybrid events, the 10th edition of the Calgary Underground Film Festival-curated documentary fest, CUFF.Docs, will return to an exclusively in-cinema experience Nov. 23 to 27 at the Globe. 
Each year, the organizers behind GIRAF (Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival) search the world high and low for the most inventive, unique, beautiful, experimental and mind-altering animated films. 
They are, arguably, as much a part of Canadian comic TV character lore as Bob and Doug, and Red Green. (We’ll leave the King of Kensington and Louis Del Grande out of this discussion, for proper respect.)
