This capstone title entwines the various threads while telling its own story in the capable hands of Fire & Stone mastermind Kelly Sue DeConnick.

Dean Motter’s Mister X returns this month with an ongoing tale and a stand alone story. Both stories manage to engage in a way only Motter can and I’m happy to say futuristic neo-noir is still an overwhelmingly good read. “Mister X Eviction” returns us to a different Radiant City than we’re used to. The... Read More...

If you were in the market for an introduction to the New Urbanism -- what is it for? what is it against? what is it about, really? -- your choices on the opening day of the Congress of the New Urbanism (Cnu 18) were either a seven-hour seminar with some of the rock stars of the movement (Andres Duany and Georgia Tech professor Ellen Dunham-Jones) or a deceptively modest 20-minute slide show with an actual rock star, David Byrne.

MONTREAL -- German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's debut feature The Lives of Others grabbed the People's Choice award at the Vancouver International Film Festival, which ended Friday. Henckel's political thriller, set in 1984-era East Berlin, was selected as the top international film by festival audiences, with Mystic Ball, Greg Hamilton's portrait of a Burmese sport coming away with the audience award for most popular Canadian film. Political and social-policy themed films took home the bulk of trophies. The juried best documentary feature award went to Connie Field's Have You Heard From Johannesburg. Vancouver's competition jury also gave a Special Jury Prize to Radiant City, a treatise on the changing face of the suburbs from Canada's Gary Burns and Jim Brown. Earlier in the festival, John Torres took the Dragons and Tigers Award for Todo Todo Teros (the Philippines), a film dealing with politics and terrorism. And the best western Canada feature film award went to Everything's Gone Green, a drama set in Vancouver from director Paul Fox, and with a screenplay by Generation-X novelist Douglas Coupland. Carmen Moore grabbed the Artistic Merit Award for her performance in Unnatural and Accidental, Canadian director Carl Bessai's adaptation of a play about aboriginal women.
