Janine Joseph reviews canadian director Lulu Wei's 'There's No Place Like This, Anyplace' a documentary about the famous and grand Honest Ed's--a landmark in Toronto's downtown. The fall of Honest Ed's is the story of gentrification and this documentary is a clear snapshot of the ever looming force of condo development and rent hikes in Canada's largest city.
Liam Parker reviews director Jennifer Taylor's 'For the Love of Rutland'-- a tale of 100 Syrian refugees in a small town in Vermont, USA. Parker concludes that this documentary "masterfully" balances this story about small-town life, through civil disputes over xenophobia and classism to very close-to-home scenes of the opioid crisis--in a place not all that unlike Peterborough.
Liam Parker reviews 'The River' a documentary short that is close to home in Peterborough. 'The River' directed by Benjamin Hargreaves skillfully tells the story of The River Magazine and Faelan Dobbin, a local artist whose struggles with mental illness and disability in this film elucidate the reality of being low income in Peterborough.
The Arthur editors get literate as they convene to talk about Ocean Vuong's novel, and our (late) June Book Club pick, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. Abbigale is on the record saying this is her favourite novel of all time, but what of the other two? Will they love it? Hate it? Base their whole personality off it? Join us if you'd like to find out!
Co-editor Abbigale Kernya sits down with Peterborough poet and founder of the Show and Tell Poetry Series, Justin Million, to talk about the future of the series following the June 2nd announcement that the Series' poetry showcase will end in July after nine years of operation, in tandem with his experience working as an artist in the city.
