  The Matrix

  December 10th & 11th
  Buy Tickets
  
  Action, Sci-Fi
  What if virtual reality wasn't just for fun, but was being used to imprison you? That's the dilemma that faces mild-mannered computer jockey Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix. It's the year 1999, and Anderson (hacker alias: Neo) works in a cubicle, manning a computer and doing a little hacking on the side. It's through this latter activity that Thomas makes the acquaintance of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who has some interesting news for Mr. Anderson -- none of what's going on around him is real. The year is actually closer to 2199, and it seems Thomas, like most people, is a victim of The Matrix, a massive artificial intelligence system that has tapped into people's minds and created the illusion of a real world, while using their brains and bodies for energy, tossing them away like spent batteries when they're through. Morpheus, however, is convinced Neo is "The One" who can crack open The Matrix and bring his people to both physical and psychological freedom. The Matrix is the second feature film from the sibling writer/director team of The Wachowski's, who made an impressive debut with the stylish erotic crime thriller bound.
  
  Director: The Wachowski's
  
  Cast:
  Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Gloria Foster

  The Phantom Carriage: by Snake River

  December 31st
  SILENT FILM WITH
  LIVE SCORE!
  Buy Tickets
  
  Horror
  The Film: The last person to die on New Year's Eve before the clock strikes twelve is doomed to take the reins of Death's chariot and work tirelessly collecting fresh souls for the next year. So says the legend that drives The Phantom Carriage (Körkarlen), directed by the father of Swedish cinema, Victor Sjöström. The story, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf, concerns an alcoholic, abusive ne'er-do-well (Sjöström himself) who is shown the error of his ways, and the pure-of-heart Salvation Army sister who believes in his redemption. This extraordinarily rich and innovative silent classic (which inspired Ingmar Bergman to make movies) is a Dickensian ghost story and a deeply moving morality tale, as well as a showcase for groundbreaking special effects. The Band: Snake River formed in 2014, and has released six full-length LPs, an EP and contributed to a number of compilations, and has toured Canada multiple times. The band's most recent album, LOST ALBUM (2021) is an excursion into previously uncharted sonic territory for the group. Like previous albums, LOST ALBUM is set in the fictional town of Snake River Mountain, and features characters that listeners of the band will recognize. The album features contributions by members of Radiation Flowers, and Shooting Guns. The guitars are twangy, grinding and jangling, and the album gets darker and heavier than previous works but also is full of lightness and hope. Snake River uses minimal elements to make each song a swirling psychedelic event - the guitars are two spokes of the same wheel working together for the same end goal. The band's previous album, TREAD ON TO THE UNKNOWN YOU (2018) reached #13 on the national Earshot! charts, and has had songs licensed by APTN and Sportsnet. Snake River toured and played many festivals (including Sled Island) in support of the album, as this was the "before times."

Restoring the tractor her mother learned to drive on becomes a focus for the mechanically minded Dawn. John Andrew begins to realize that if he's to reclaim this relationship, he has to come out with Dawn, and what better setting than the community tractor trials -- an event Miranda created as a tireless village volunteer -- where he proudly cheers for his daughter Dawn, as she enters the arena at the wheel of the lovingly restored tractor.
