The Great Lakes Musicians’ Collective Presents: Nanook of the North- Sold Out

January 14, 2009

nanookThis event is sold out. Keep an eye out here at theOwen for more details about futureshows from … The Great Lakes Musicians’ Collective presents the 1922 silent film documentary “Nanook of the North” directed by Robert Flaherty, with an original live soundtrack by the Silent Film Ensemble, featuring: Charlie Glasspool, Tara MacKenzie, Jon Cox, Pat Dorfman, Jon O’Leary, Bob Daniel, and Josh Richardson. Saturday, February 7th @ 7PM at the Downtown Bookstore, Owen Sound. $5 Admission. Advance tickets are available at the Downtown Bookstore.

“‘Nanook of the North” follows an Inuit hunter and his family as they struggle to survive in the Hudson Bay Arctic region in the ‘traditional’ manner idealized by Western European civilization. In fact, much of footage in ‘Nanook’ is staged – despite this, it is a fascinating document of the Western European objectification of a people it still knows so little about.

Say you saw it on FindItGreyBruce.com… no, it won’t get you in for free or get you free anything for that matter… it’ll just make all of us here at theOwen and finditgreybruce.com very happy!


Update from Josh…
Tickets are available in advance at the Downtown Bookstore in Owen Sound. Our last silent film “Haxan” saw disappointed people turned away at the door due to the overwhelming response. Avoid this problem and purchase your $5 ticket at the Downtown Bookstore… and browse their excellent selection of books, movies, and music!
