With charming, complicated characters, this Canadian fiction feature from Amar Wala is an ode to the polyglot nature of big cities and the people who live there.

Canadian Press / CityNews

SHINING LIGHT

EXCLUSIVE PRESHOW EVENT for FILM CLUB FRIDAY TICKET HOLDERS

It’s late April 1975 and the Communist North Vietnamese army has entered the city and thousands are desperate to flee. Mui is nine months pregnant with Anh and they are on the roof of the American embassy. Her husband and two-year-old son are also there hoping to escape on a helicopter. When the last US Marine Chopper lifts off, they are still stranded on the roof
What transpires over the next three weeks is an improbable and remarkable sequence of events. The family escapes on the Truong Xuan, the last Cargo ship to leave Saigon; Anh’s birth on that boat two days later as it begins to sink; a Danish freighter, the Clara Maersk that comes to their rescue; a British Royal Air Force helicopter that also comes to their rescue; a refugee camp in Hong Kong where they meet Canadian immigration officers; and lastly their emigration to Canada. 50 years later – mother, daughter and other key protagonists connected to their story, including the helicopter crewman and the Canadian immigration officer meet in Montreal to reconstruct how it happened and who they’ve become today. Anh calls it “bringing together all the pieces of her survival puzzle – a reconciliation of the past and present”.

Outskirts – A Celebration of Blue Rodeo

For fans of the music of Blue Rodeo, and for those that find crowds and huge venues just too much to handle, the Studio Theatre in Perth is featuring “Outskirts – A Celebration of Blue Rodeo” on Saturday, November 1/2025

Blue Rodeo – the band, is a Canadian music treasure with an extensive discography of 16 studio albums, four live albums, and a Greatest Hits album. “Outskirts” has no problem in finding the best music from Blue Rodeo and bringing that legacy to life on stage.

Featuring Jeff Callery (guitar, vocals), Mark Hunt (lead guitar, mandolin, vocals), Leigh Graham (keys, vocals), Andy Schick (steel guitar), Randy Orr (bass, vocals), and Glen Crotty (drums), the band has quickly earned praise for their authentic, passionate performances.

Audiences have noted Outskirts’ remarkable ability to recreate the “timeless charm and soul” of Blue Rodeo’s music, describing their shows as “nostalgic journeys” and “faithful yet fresh” homages to the originals. One reviewer highlighted their skillful renditions, stating, “They bring Blue Rodeo’s essence to life with every note”

Cliff Edwards, a Canadian music legend from “The Bells” (Fly Little White Dove, Stay Awhile) said this about a recent Outskirts performance “The Outskirts performance was well planned; pacing was excellent, musicianship, vocal excellence…first rate!!”

Wade Foster:

A native of Perth, Ontario, Wade has been playing music for as long as he can remember. From his roots in Celtic and Traditional music, this multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, composer and produced continues to evolve his style. His pure love of music has led to him performing with numerous artists in theatres, on live radio and television, at fairs and festivals across Canada, and most notably multiple performances at Ottawa Bluesfest and the National Arts Centre.
