Ample snowfall has cancelled some school buses in southern Ontario today. But I hope some students still make it out to the Yoshitomo Nara film screening at Reel Artists this afternoon. Why? I'm introducing the flick, and found it to be surprisingly sweet and touching as a story. It screens at 2:30pm at the Al Green Theatre. For more information on student ticketing (ID and some advance confirmation is required) visit canadianart.ca/raff/schedule.

Upcoming Sandals-riffic Events: Face the Critic & Reel Artists Film Fest
It's a bit of a slow news day here at Unedit My Heart Central, so I thought I'd highlight a couple of upcoming events that I'll be speaking at:
1) Face the Critic - Drake Hotel - Thursday, February 25 at 7pm
The plan for this panel is for three critics—RM Vaughan, Andrea Carson and I—to show and talk about one work we loathe and one work we love. We will also prove we have faces! I'm looking forward to seeing the other critic's picks and responding to audience questions/comments/faces.
2) Canadian Art Reel Artists Film Festival - Traveling with Yoshitomo Nara - Friday, February 26 at 2:30pm
Traveling with Yoshitomo Nara is one of three free student screenings happening Friday afternoon as part of the Reel Artists Film Festival. I will introduce the flick, where I hope to make the leap beyond my typical experience of Nara's work, ie. fun products on view at Magic Pony.
