Hang onto your heads, Edmontons historic Garneau Theatre is going
nowhere fast, and Metro
Cinema is the new star of the show.
With a line-up of indie flicks, cross-Canada touring films and retro
movies as old as the theatres 1940 doors, Metro plans to host
interactive events, bring in film directors for premieres (meet the filmmakers
of The Future is Now! on August 12th) and blend the best in recent local
shorts with Japanese fare from the ’60s.
And if youre into gore, mark your Metro calendar with Augusts DEDfest
2011 for kung-fu masterpieces and an underground horror fête youd
never thought youd see on the big screen. Only now you can.
Screenings start August 5th, while the official grand opening weekend
will be held September 16-18.
