6:30 Monday July 9 WILLIAM KURELEK’S THE MAZE 
The Maze detail
This brilliantly restored and expanded film is about a Canadian artist, William Kurelek (1927-1977), whose work is currently enjoying a major retrospective at the Art Gallery Of Greater Victoria. The film takes an intimate look into the life of one of the 20th century’s most fascinating artists and his struggles with attempted suicide and a self professed “spiritual crisis”. The Maze (1953) is a particular painting by the tormented artist in his mid twenties that inspired this film. It got better!
Kurelek’s life story is dramatically told through his many paintings and his on-camera revelations - a film re-imagined, with a new sound track and animation since its 1969 launch. Immerse yourself in this ultimately inspiring life story, the art, and this film that is a work of art in its own right. 60min 2012 Pg13
With special guests: producer, animator & composer Nick Young and director Robert M. Young (Nick’s dad, long-time Hollywood director, who made the original film) will be joining us for a Q&A by phone from LA This will be a capital MM event!

Lecture: Framing Kurelek with Chief Curator Mary Jo Hughes
Kurelek was also a master picture framer. To him, the frame was an extension of the painting and together the frame and painting represented a unified whole. Almost all of the works in the exhibition are in original Kurelek frames, each with a purpose. Tour the exhibition with Mary Jo Hughes examining the various, unique strategies Kurelek employed with his frames.
6:30 Monday July 16 LOVING LAMPPOSTS 
As autism has exploded into the public consciousness over the last 20 years, two opposing questions have been asked about the condition: is it a devastating sickness to be cured? Or is it a variation of the human brain -- just a different way to be human?
"Loving Lampposts" goes inside the autism wars and shows us the parents, doctors, therapists, and autistic people who are redefining this disorder at a moment when it's better known than ever before. 83min 2011 USA Pg
Film Website: http://lovinglamppostsmovie.com/
“Loving Lampposts takes a different view of autism. Inspired by the filmmaker’s own experience with a son on the autism spectrum, the film looks at the ‘neurodiversity’ movement, a growing group of people who view autism not only as a disorder that must be treated, but as a different way of life that must be accepted and supported.Told through the stories of autistic children and adults, the film examines the politics surrounding autism and the neurodiversity movement. Ultimately, it shows that it’s possible to lead a happy, successful life and be autistic.”
With guests for Q&A - including Joseph Sheppard, co-director of UVic’s Center for Autism Research Technology and Education
6:30 Monday July 23 FATHERS & SONS (rescheduled from May 21 when it went astray)
Fathers & Sons is an alternative feature length drama that employs aspects of the conventional drama in its creation, but utilizes entirely improvised dialogue in its execution. Following the lives of four very different families as they confront a pivotal moment in their relationships, the film celebrates those unchosen bonds that shape our lives, the blessings and burdens. This, second in our Carl Bessai trilogy, is a treat - and demonstrates again that good films can be made on a tiny budget! 87min 2010 R particularly for language and a suggestive scene

7:30 WEDNESDAY JULY 25 ON THE LINE
Unfortunately, a far too topical film about the implications of the Enbridge pipeline proposal. An eco-adventure documentary like no other. Follow Frank Wolf and Todd McGowan on a 2,400 km journey by foot, bike, raft and kayak as they seek to uncover the truth about this proposed 5.5 billion dollar oil pipeline from the oil patch to BC’s coast. http://www.onthelinemovie.com/
July 30 TBA (but it’ll be good!)
