Movies are a distorted mirror. We use them to escape but also to share in the commonness of our experiences. We all have families, friends and partners, and they all drive us crazy in their own way—different but the same. Shadowboxing is about why we mess with a good thing. The movie will make you happy that you met these people, and happier that you’re not them.

Via CCA press release:

Saturday, 28 February, the Canadian Centre for Architecture invites the public to take action in celebration of its 20th anniversary and the 6th annual Montréal All-Nighter, part of the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival. On the program: DJs, turntable workshops, interactive installations, video projections and video games, documentary film screenings, family activities, readings, a mobile sugar shack, and a tour organised by the Ordre des architectes du Québec (OAQ). Admission is free.

The celebration of architecture begins before nightfall: The CCA opens its doors free of charge at 11 am. Visitors are invited to absorb the theme of the night by taking part in guided tours of the exhibition Actions: What You Can Do With the City at 2 pm (in English) and 3:30 pm (in French). The exhibition presents 99 actions that instigate positive change in contemporary cities around the world. Starting at 8 pm, guides will be present to answer visitors’ questions.

Peter Bjorn and John “Nothing To Worry About”

Hot new song from Peter Bjorn and John.  It’s the first track off the upcoming album: Living Thing.

Rarely does a video sum up the essence of Video Vendredi and this one does spot on.

Enjoy the weekend, Chivers!

p.s. The Swedish trio are coming to Montreal on April 27th @ Le National.
