《全個世界都有電話》加拿大優先場@卡加利香港文化節

《全個世界都有電話》加拿大優先場@卡加利香港文化節
1997年，二男一女的中學好友以手機訊息交換期許志願，相約25年後揭曉，再聚回首。時光荏苒，即將移居英國的鍾哲手機中毒，通訊軟體遭駭，深怕見不得人的資訊外洩；匆忙出門的設計師鍾哲忘了帶手機，著急尋借電話，想打給妻子看看能否找著餐廳地址；曾是鍾哲初戀的雁娜，看似事業有成人生勝利，卻早與丈夫貌合神離。約定相聚的這天，三人都有些混亂意外，然而，只要別忘了舊手機裡那關鍵的訊息就好……。
繼《緣路山旮旯》叫好叫座後，黃浩然再次將鏡頭正對香港城市，借用歌手MC張天賦〈小心地滑〉歌詞諧音為題，突顯資訊世代中手機無不滲入生活的面貌，迅速便利，卻也依賴濫用。詼諧的敘事語言，人物間的熟稔舊念，幽默中帶有懷舊之情，感慨瞬息萬變的時過境遷。當年那句「五十年不變」或許太久，二十五年剛好，懂得歸途才是重要的。

Everyphone Everywhere Advanced Screening @Calgary Hong Kong Culture Day 2023
We’re in Hong Kong in 2022. 25 years after the handover and 25 years after the graduation of three classmates who decide to organise a reunion.
In bittersweet tones, Amos Why captures the unusual day of the three and their (and our) relationship with their phones: one of them has forgotten their phone, another’s phone has been hacked while the third one’s phone keeps receiving strange messages. And the fourth protagonist is Hong Kong itself.

Solar Dyeing in the Park
2023-09-08 13:00 - 15:30 (America/Edmonton) | cSPACE Marda Loop – Art Park
Alberta Craft is putting on a fun Interactive beginner workshop on Solar Dyeing with Lael Chmelyk. Learn how to extract beautiful colours from different plants using only the sun to drive the process.
This workshop will be an introduction to solar dyeing using foraged plants, kitchen scraps and fabric remnants. We will discuss responsible and ethical harvesting for natural dyes, as well as fabric preparation including scouring and mordanting. This workshop will spark your curiosity as well as give you the tools to continue this experimentation all year long, using only the power of the sun to apply colour to cloth/yarn in natural materials of cotton/linen/silk/ wool. Once you try this technique, everything has the potential to become dye – from your compost to spent blooms.
