A line of people snaked outside the Eri Café in anticipation for Timekode’s sixth anniversary Nov. 18. Once a month, the unassuming Chinatown café is transformed into a soul, reggae, dance hall, disco, and electro dance party.

The sold out Nov. 18 screening of The Man Who Jumped Cars demonstrates the growing popularity of the European Union Film Festival, said Tom McSorley, executive director of the Canadian Film Institute.

“The fact that this festival has been going on for 26 years is pretty amazing for any cultural event to make it that long,” said McSorley, who is also a sessional film studies instructor at Carleton.

Sock ‘n’ Buskin Theatre Company is taking on a more risky production with This is Our Youth, but that’s exactly what attracted the company to it in the first place, said director Iain Moggach.

Each year, Sock ‘n’ Buskin puts on a modern, more edgy type of play, Moggach said. This is Our Youth, which will run Nov. 30 to Dec. 4, is a powerful, politically-charged story set in the early 1980s and billed as “a tale of sex, drugs and Ronald Reagan.”

Former Attack in Black bassist and songwriter Ian Kehoe’s debut album with indie-rock band Marine Dreams completely embodies the bands name with drifty dreamy melodies.
