Free admission<\/p>\n
Fifteen years after writing The Night Shift: Real Life in the Heart of the E.R., his account of working overnight in the emergency room (ER) at Toronto\u2019s Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Brian Goldman is back with a chronicle of what the medical landscape is like today.<\/p>\n
Goldman is a bestselling author, ER doctor and host of CBC Radio\u2019s White Coat, Black Art. His new book The Casino Shift: Stories from an ER on the Edge, published in February, goes hour by hour through the shorter overnight shifts (the \u201ccasino shifts\u201d of the book\u2019s title), detailing the types of situations faced by ER doctors and patients. He also sums up the advances in technology that have helped patients, as well as the increasing complexity of patient cases.<\/p>\n
McNally Robinson Booksellers\u2019 Grant Park location will host Goldman on Tuesday at 7 p.m. for the launch of The Casino Shift, where he\u2019ll be joined in conversation by Winnipeg doctor, educator and bestselling author Dr. Jillian Horton (We Are All Perfectly Fine). The event, co-presented by the Alan Klass Health Humanities program at the UM Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, is free to attend and will also be available on McNally Robinson\u2019s YouTube page.<\/p>\n

She was 76.<\/p>\n \u201cStephanie was our matriarch, a champion for dance, for the arts, and for the many lives she touched through her mentorship,\u201d Winnipeg dancer and choreographer Kathleen Hiley told the Free Press in September. \u201cShe carried herself with a grace that was both timeless and striking: always elegant, perfectly put together in a sleek black outfit, impossibly large sunglasses, a string of pearls, lipstick and a glass of chardonnay.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t SUPPLIED<\/p>\n A celebration of life for Stephanie Ballard will be held Wednesday at the Qualico Centre.<\/p>\n \u2014 Jen Zoratti<\/p>\n WUFF returns to the DBC<\/p>\n Dave Barber Cinematheque, 100 Arthur St.<\/p>\n to June 7<\/p>\n All information at winnipeguff.com<\/p>\n For the 13th time, the Winnipeg Underground Film Festival is back, unearthing the works of seminal experimental filmmakers and planting the seeds for the next generations of cinematic risk-takers.<\/p>\n Boasting a program that gleefully interrogates and transverses artistic borders, this annual project from Open City Cinema features new works by Manitoban filmmakers including Colby Richardson, Olivia Norquay, Daniel M\u00e1rquez and Eric Peterson, alongside works by filmmakers from Switzerland (Adrian Flury), Bolivia (Luciana Decker Orozco) and Austria (Rainer Kohlberger).<\/p>\n One of the festival\u2019s surefire highlights is Saturday\u2019s Re:Vision program of 3D experimental filmmaking, curated by Houston-born, Toronto-based 3D filmmaker Blake Williams, whose works have screened at TIFF, the Berlinale and in Locarno, and whose writing appeared in Cinema Scope magazine.<\/p>\n Williams\u2019 program traces nearly a century of immersive filmmaking, beginning with a screening of Louis Lumiere\u2019s 1935 short Arrival of a Train 3D, the image-maker\u2019s stereoscopic return to the subject of his pioneering short film. Next is Hy Hirsh\u2019s 1953 film Come Closer, which \u201cused oscilloscope patterns \u2026 in harmony with the music of the West Indian carnival,\u201d per specialty distribution company Light Cone.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t John Woods \/ Free Press files<\/p>\n The Pride Parade takes place on Sunday in downtown Winnipeg.<\/p>\n The work of underground legend Ken Jacobs, a co-founder of Binghamton University\u2019s Collective of Living Cinema, will visit WUFF in the form of 1969\u2019s Globe, which was once titled Excerpt From the the Russian Revolution. Jacobs, who worked in tandem with his wife Flo, died last October, aged 92 after more than 75 years as a working artist.<\/p>\n Re:Vision, which plays June 6 at 8:30 p.m., continues with Apotheosis by Lillian Schwartz \u2014 created using manipulated PET scan images; Orbit by Kerry Laitala, featuring \u201ccandy apple light emissions; Au hasard, a 3D play on John Carpenter\u2019s They Live by Canadian Darren Dominique Heroux; and finally, Kohlberger\u2019s not even nothing can be free of ghosts, an 11-minute film made without a camera.<\/p>\n From today to Sunday, WUFF is joining the Centre for Cultural and Artistic Practices (520 Hargrave St.) to present Line as Real as Broken, an exhibition by Dani and Sheilah ReStack.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ben Waldman<\/p>\n Pride Festival<\/p>\n The Forks, 1 Forks Market Road<\/p>\n June 6 and 7<\/p>\n Free<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Supplied<\/p>\n Daniel Marquez\u2019 Behind the Statues is part of WUFF.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a plethora of Pride-themed gatherings taking place across Winnipeg this week as the city celebrates the annual event.<\/p>\n This two-day festival at the Forks offers a full schedule with something for everyone in the family, including canine pals. Festivities kick off on Saturday at noon with Dogs \u2018N\u2019 Dabbers Bingo, taking place at the Mamawi Stage.

But MayWorks is mostly a national festival, and while Toronto launched the first iteration in 1986, Winnipeg has always been essential to its narrative. After all, Western Canada\u2019s labour movement, eventually evolving into the New Democratic Party of Tommy Douglas, had its watershed moment in Winnipeg during the General Strike of 1919. MayWorks draws on a unique and rich local history, and has its final event this Sunday.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when the festival presents a book launch for Confronting the Resurgent Right, with editor Miriam Edelson and author James Wilt. The work is a collection of essays by scholars and activists examining the rising spectre of the hard right in Canada and features a foreword by Free Press columnist Niigaan Sinclair.<\/p>\n \u2014 Conrad Sweatman<\/p>\n \n \t\t\t\t\t\tIf you value coverage of Manitoba\u2019s arts scene, help us do more. \t\t\t\t\t
