Their knack for lucid self-awareness and radical honesty is only matched by their sharp social commentary . . . Here\, two worthy champions sit on a throne crafted from their own excellence” – Matthew Ritchie (Pitchfork) \nPraise for Wiki’s 2021 album Half God with Navy Blue\n“The New York rapper’s latest is one of his greatest. A wise and angry Wiki reveals what it’s like to come of age in the city: the way it shapes\, hardens\, prematurely ages you . . . Wiki has always wielded his considerable talent to paint cityscapes with words\, but with Elsesser’s production\, they become transportive” – Matthew Ismael Ruiz (Best New Music – Pitchfork)\n“Half God is just a beautiful record . . . Wiki and Navy Blue’s New York sounds like the most glorious place on earth. I hope both of them stay in that place\, literal or metaphorical\, and I hope they make more music like this\, together or apart” – Tom Breihan (Stereogum) \nLord Unknown\n \nHailing from Brooklyn\, NY\, producer Lord Unknown has built a reputation for his eclectic and innovative sound.

SUMMARY:The Only Wealth Is Labour
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Mosher & Hannah Genosko\nWhat gives real value to anything in this world? The work we put into it.\nExploring a key concept in Marx’s labour theory of value\, textile artists Sarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko draw from the trade unionist tradition of parading crafted banners through city streets. \n‘The Only Wealth Is Labour’ by Sarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko is a patchwork quilt banner made out of their remaining uniforms from the ‘Portrait of the Artist as an Essential Worker’ quilts\, which were shown during Mayworks 2024. ‘The Only Wealth Is Labour’ quotes a historic union banner created by George Tutill in 1926 for the UK National Winding and General Engineers Society. Mosher and Genosko were struck by this quote and appreciated the simplicity and directness of the statement. With this new banner they moved away from speaking about their specific experiences as essential workers during the pandemic and into a more general call for solidarity and justice with all working people against the forces of inflation\, late capitalism and neoliberalism. \nMosher and Genosko’s banner will be carried alongside two of our Working Class Heritage Tours on May 3rd and 11th\, and otherwise on display at The Bus Stop Theatre throughout the festival. \nArtists\nSarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko are an artist duo collaborating in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Hannah has a background in printmaking and bookmaking\, Sarah has a background in textiles and community arts. Both are graduates of NSCAD University. Their common ground is exploring labour\, anti-capitalism and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through quilting. ‘Portrait of the Artist as an Essential Worker’ was their first project reflecting on their roles as essential workers at their jobs with Canada Post and NSLC respectively during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:A More Radiant Sphere
DESCRIPTION:By Sara Wylie\nPresented in partnership with Carbon Arc Cinema\n \nThursday\, May 18th @ 6:30pm \nLocation: Bus Stop Theatre Co-op (2203 Gottingen St) \nDuration: 40 mins followed by a 30 mins Q&A with filmmaker Sara Wylie moderated by MLA Gary Burrill [CC][ASL] \nTickets: $5/$10/$15 (Pay what you can) \nBUY TICKETS HERE\n \n[CC] This film will be closed captioned. \n[ASL] ASL Interpretation will be provided for the Q&A portion of the event. \nA mid-length hybrid documentary about Joe Wallace: Canadian Communist poet\, political prisoner\, and the filmmaker’’s long lost family member. Shot on 16mm and digital\, featuring original songs by award-winning musician Fiver/Simone Schmidt. \n“Poetry is of a higher order. It sets bells ringing in the mind of the reader so that he makes his own music …” \n \nNearly lost in the annals of Canadian history\, the writings of Joe Wallace—radical believer in socialist ideals\, writer of anti-capitalist verses\, and survivor of detainment by the Canadian government—have been revived by his great-great-niece\, director Sara Wylie. \nSearching through library archives\, family records\, and footage from the early decades of the Canadian settler state\, Wylie assembles the story of Wallace the poet and revolutionary. “The more I began looking for him\, the more I began to see parts of myself reflected\,” she says. His poems are spirited\, forthright and folksy; they recall a time of great political change and opportunity. \nInextricable from Wallace’s life and work is the history of Canada’s labour movement and the increasing involvement of the state in its disruption. A More Radiant Sphere captures a time and a feeling at risk of being erased by Canadian myth\, when the possibility of a world beyond capitalism surged forth into poetry. (Written by Sarah Bakke) \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Sara Wylie moderated by Gary Burril\, MLA for Halifax Chebucto \n \nFilm Credits: \nDirected\, produced and written by Sara Wylie\nFeaturing Bruce Wallace \nMusic by Simone Schmidt\nWith Nick Dourado on piano\nNathan Doucet on percussion\nJohn Showman on fiddle \nCinematography by Suz Friesen and Sara Wylie\nSound recording by Kellen Jackson and Sara Wylie\nSound mix/edit by Michelle Hwu and Tim Atkins\nColour by Sam Gilling

She begins an important conversation that needs to continue in the labour movement given the overwhelming right wing ideology and misinformation being spread targeting working class folks.\nThe film title comes from an 1857 Frederick Douglass speech: “If there is no struggle\, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom\, and yet depreciate agitation\, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”\n\n\n\n\nSee Us Come Together (Philippines) by Alyssa Suico\nSee Us Come Together is an amateur documentary following the members of the Optodev Workers Union\, tracing their story of forming their union before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.\nWhen factories were forced to close operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020\, an ophthalmic lens workers’ union ensured mechanisms to protect their workers\, with the ultimate goal of changing the culture of labour in their factory. The documentary brings to focus what is essential to keep a country running in times of crisis. While the pandemic turned the spotlight on essential and frontline workers\, what was essential to the workers of Optodev was their union.\nSubtitled in ENGLISH\n\n\n\n\nWhat Will I Show You? (Canada) by Elie-John Joseph\nIn the tradition of direct cinema\, What Will I Show You is an intimate documentary in which a grandfather and his grandson discuss the past and future of Innu culture. An important\, first-person film telling the stories of Innu and their culture\, their work\, and the immediate impacts of environmental degradation on their lands.\nThemes of Indigenous learning\, work and way of life. From the Innu nation and residing in the Tiohtià:ke territory since 2006\, Elie-John Joseph has been passionate about cinema since a young age. Self-taught\, he has been practising film photography for several years.\n\n\n\n\nOpera Trans*formed (Canada) by Leah Borts-Kuperman & Maria Sarrouh\n“If I wasn’t an opera singer\, would I be a trans man?” asks Teiya Kasahara\, a gender non-binary singer\, partway through the film. It’s a dilemma facing gender non-binary and trans singers working in a field whose roles are rigidly defined along gender lines: sopranos and mezzos are cast as women (so-called “trouser roles” aside); tenors and basses as men.\nTeiya Kasahara (they/them) leads a new generation of trans* opera performers\, activists and self-proclaimed “shit-disturbers” making their voices heard–whether the classical music world likes it or not.\n\n\n\n\nThe Unmaking of Medical Inadmissibility (Canada) by Laura Bisaillon\nHave you ever considered the amount of work it takes to immigrate to Canada? Applying to immigrate is a form of labour: it requires time\, effort\, intention\, skill and money. This film about immigration application work tells the stories of Martha\, Winnie and Stella. As prospective immigrants to Canada\, they are tagged as being “abnormal” (to use the state’s term) through the immigration medical examination and therefore face higher barriers and discrimination during the immigration process.\nThemes include the criminalization of HIV\, and a critical look at the idea of “good immigrants.”\n\n\n\n\nKellys (Spain) by Javier Fesser\nIn this high quality short\, we glimpse a private conversation between two long-time hotel workers and close friends. But there are always things that are hidden\, even from your best friend.\nSubtitled in ENGLISH

On spaceship earth\, energy is neither created nor destroyed\, it simply changes form. This is true for individuals that make up Superfluid Collective. Ranging from Bengali\, Iranian\, Pubjabi M’ikMa’ki\, English\, Irish and Canadian backgrounds\, the group has come together through a shared thirst for Olands and basement jams. The group’s experience of immigration is paralleled by their vagabond work ethic\, moving between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for shows. A quintessential festival band\, Superfluid is best experienced live. \nShuvanjan Karmaker – Founder/Bass\nPaige Bailey – Piano\nSerkan Suer – Drums\nSeth Voliere – Guitar\nJames Shaw – Saxophone\nMathew Marshall – Trombone\nMatt Myers – Trumpet \nWeb: https://www.superfluidmusic.com/ \n\nDOWNLOAD OUR PROGRAM APP FOR ALL EVENT  DETAILS & UPDATES\n   \n
