Until recently, it’s been high-budget Hollywood blockbusters that have adopted the relatively new medium of 3D. However, Pina broke this trend, offering a breathtakingly unique iteration of an all-too-familiar genre and medium of 3D dance movies.   

The documentary about German choreographer, Pina Bausch, is artfully manipulated to create a visually opulent, emotionally impactful, and exhilarating piece.  

The french department’s newest edition of Mot Dit, a French language magazine, is bigger and better than ever, said editor Matt Rushton.

“The sixth issue has certainly grown, both in terms of the number of contributions and the overall size,” Rushton said via email.

At 100 pages, this issue is three to four times larger than any of the previous issues of Mot Dit, he said.  

The European Union Film Festival continued with a screening of The Maiden Danced to Death Nov. 26. The film follows the story of two brothers competing for one woman’s heart as they work together to revive a dance company. The Charlatan’s Anna Kozlova sat down with its local director, Michael Dobbin and talked about his ties to Ottawa, his film company and making European movies.
