Local film focus spectacular tonight. I spoke to the new Programming Coordinator at Cinematheque, Olivia Norquay about the upcoming New French Extremity series, and conducted a feature-length interview with University of Manitoba Distinguished Professor of Film and Literature George Toles about his book Status Update in advance of his appearance as part of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival.

An interview with our old pal John Scoles of the Times Change(d) about this weekend's Culture Not Condos: Concerts for Equitable Communities.

As mentioned in the interview, here's the link to the video for "90 The Cure."
