This week, we're featuring some selected works from Vancouver's own Small File Media Festival, (smallfile.ca) Specially selected by Joey Malbon, Production Manager and Founding Member of the festival, these works were chosen to have a dialogue with our mini theatre, and the results are sublime.

5-Second Day is great! A lot of my friends and former colleagues have shorts and if you want to catch the theatrical screening in Vancouver, the Rio has two showings this Tuesday night: riotheatre.ca/event/titmou... My favourite short to come out of 5-Second Day: youtu.be/6fLGdyxJzZM?...

It's a sunny Sunday, and we're playing a whole bunch of micro-short films by local artists from Titmouse animation, as part of their 5-Second Day showcase! (the films are AT LEAST 5 seconds long, and are all personal projects of the artists) Family friendly before 9 pm, spicier stuff added at night.

I went to a DTES town hall last night and I have been deeply touched by the depth of that community. They really do watch out for and care for each other. Vancouver has pockets of communities all over the city. The DTES is one worth protecting and fighting for. They need housing, not dispersion.

Truly, the only reason to build a tiny cinema: tiny seasonal decorations.

I realized that we buried the lede with the cartoons this week... The Marx Brothers' first sound film, Cocoanuts, is now in the public domain, and bits of it are playing at the Vodville.

Now till Wednesday, we're showing some old films that are perennially relevant. None of this is new. At the end of the day, there are a limited number of ways to turn neighbour against neighbor. There are, however, infinite ways to love and connect with one another. We love you, take care.

It's an honour to get to show @jackiedives.bsky.social 's work, and shows like this make me feel like the Vodville is truly fulfilling its purpose to authentically connect and delight real humans. Playing through Satudray, January 18, 2024.
