Enjoy a Sunday afternoon watching films selected by local artists! Art Flicks is a free monthly series which features Calgary artists, curators and designers who introduce films which have influenced and inspired their work.

Our April Art Flicks will feature Marigold Santos who will introduce Kwaidan (1965).

Marigold Santos pursues an inter-disciplinary art practice involving drawn, painted, and printed works, sculpture, animation, and sound. Her work explores self-hood and identity that embraces multiplicity, fragmentation and empowerment, as informed by experiences of movement and migration.

Film synopsis: After more than a decade of sober political dramas and socially minded period pieces, the great Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi shifted gears dramatically for this rapturously stylized quartet of ghost stories. Featuring colorfully surreal sets and luminous cinematography, these haunting tales of demonic comeuppance and spiritual trials, adapted from writer Lafcadio Hearn’s collections of Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening and meticulously crafted.
