Contemporary Calgary

That was a, that was a very fraudulent thing that happened and, and the person responsible for that was in the news and, and, uh, the person that was in charge of that place.

And then the AGC folded into what we have as Contemporary Calgary.

And I mean, I haven't been to, I haven't been part of a Contemporary Calgary event since its inception, I believe in 2014 when they asked me to paint live.

But, um, I've kinda been on, I've kinda been on...

Like, it's a weird thing in the city of Calgary.

that's cool.

Well, you're very kind for saying as much, but yes, lots of great things going on in town, and probably the one you want to kind of... highlight the most is Calgary International Film Festival kicked off last night and is going to be running at Contemporary Calgary from now until October 4th.

Lots of good films to check out.

Also happening today, the 25th, legendary New York post-hardcore band Quicksand is going to be playing alongside Canadian post-hardcore superstars Fucked Up over at Dickens Pub.

There's very little we won't promote.

Exactly.

Has the film festival always been at Contemporary Calgary?

No.
