17. NB Film Co-op’s Monday Night Film Series presents Force Majeur Jan 5
Force Majeur
January 5, 2015, 7:30pm at Tilley Hall, UNB Campus
Ruben Östlund
Sweden/Norway/Denmark/France, 2014
English, Swedish, French with English subtitles
118 minutes
Principal Cast: Johannes Bah Kuhnke, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Clara Wettergren, Vincent Wettergren
ARTSnews December 18, 2014
Volume 16, Issue 49

One of the most daring and audacious filmmakers to emerge in the last decade, Ruben Östlund hit a new peak with Force Majeure, a
critical hit at this year’s Cannes Festival. As in his previous films Involuntary and Play, with his latest Östlund turns a keenly analytic eye on
those principles we supposedly live by, and explores what happens when the codes of conduct enforcing those principles are abruptly
stripped away.
On a family skiing vacation in the French Alps, married couple Tomas (Johannes Bah Kuhnke) and Ebba (Lisa Loven Kongsli) are enjoying
lunch with their two children when their meal is suddenly interrupted by thunderous booms emanating from the mountain above them.
The complacent Tomas initially dismisses the possibility of danger — but when it appears that there may be an avalanche, he grabs his cell
phone and bolts, leaving his wife and children to fend for themselves. The remainder of the film monitors the fallout from this fateful
incident, as husband and wife hotly debate what actually occurred, and what Tomas’ proper response should have been — a battle that
eventually threatens not just Tomas and Ebba’s relationship, but those of the people around them.
Both psychologically and sociologically acute, Force Majeure boasts a number of bravura moments that range from terrifying to comic —
most notably, and daringly, an indelible, extended crying jag/confession from one of the principals. While this climactic moment is on the
one hand self-serving, convoluted and shambolic, it also seems bizarrely honest. Probing that paradox with intelligence and incisiveness,
it’s little wonder that Östlund has earned comparisons to such masterful cinematic social critics as Michael Haneke and Östlund’s
countryman and mentor Roy Andersson.
This term, 12 limited release, independent, foreign, and Canadian films will be shown. The film series is open to everyone. Regular
admission is $7; Member’s admission is $4. January-April Memberships are $20 (regular), and $12 (Students/Seniors (65 years and
up)/NBFC Members). Memberships are available at the door.
For further info, contact NB Film Co-op at 455-1632, info@nbfilmcoop.com, or http://www.nbfilmcoop.com/exhibition/monday-nightfilm-series. The NB Film Co-op in partnership with the UNB Faculty of Arts and the Toronto Film Festival presents the series. Back to top.
18. The Fredericton Choral Society Seeks New Members

Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem in April 2015. The cost per term is $40 per person, $65 per family, and $10 per student. The ability to read
music is a definite asset, but not mandatory. Singers should be able to carry a tune.

6:30pm, and rehearsal begins at 7:20pm. We look forward to seeing you. Back to top.
19. The Charlotte Street Arts Centre announces M. Anne Mitton as 2015 Writer-in-Residence
The Charlotte Street Arts Centre (CSAC) is thrilled to welcome treasured New Brunswick educator, writer, storyteller and performer, M.
Anne Mittonas as the CSAC Writer-in-Residence from January to March 2015.
Mitton’s career has included a lifetime of service to New Brunswick learners through her work as a teacher, consultant and literacy
specialist, as well as through multiple publications, including Inside Stories, a full anthology of short stories with Black Moss Press and the
production of her play, Bad Water by Theatre New Brunswick and Giant Step Theatre Company.
Much of Mitton's previous work has involved the use of history as a catalyst for the creative process, which beautifully resonates with the
CSAC's upcoming celebration of the history of the Charlotte Street School. During Mitton’s tenure as Writer-in-Residence, she will explore
the history of the centre, interview former Charlotte Street School students and use their living memories to create a vivid piece of
reader’s theatre. This new work will be performed by Saint Thomas University Theatre Program students, under the direction of Lisa Anne
Ross for the upcoming Alumni Tea in May 2015.
M. Anne Mitton's residency, entitled Honouring Yesterday will herald the beginning of a full year of activities and events in celebration of
the ten-year anniversary of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre. The Charlotte Street Arts Centre opens the doors of creative expression to all.

2. City of Fredericton Invites Design Submissions for Public Art
The City of Fredericton is inviting New Brunswick artists to submit design concepts for public art to be located in a high profile park in the
city. The Sheila Hugh McKay Foundation awarded the City of Fredericton a Special Project Grant earlier this year in response to a proposal
to commission public art specifically for the Fredericton Botanic Garden located on the west side of Odell Park.
The selected artwork will celebrate the space and be compatible with the goals of the Fredericton Botanic Garden. The jury will be looking
for public art that enhances the experience of users and visitors of the space, including many people who enjoy the trail network
connecting Odell Park and the Botanic Gardens. The art will be installed in the summer of 2015. This initiative is compatible with the City’s
Culture Plan approved by Council in July, which calls for more art and culture in daily life.
The design competition is open to all New Brunswick artists. Submissions will be reviewed by a jury of arts professionals, members of the
City’s Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee, and a member of the garden board. The jury will review the submissions and select a
shortlist of artists to submit a fully detailed proposal.
