Sunbury Shores exhibition opening receptions are free to attend. There will be hors d'oeurves and a cash bar available. Ella Morton: The Great Kind Mystery Canadian filmmaker Ella Morton aims to uncover how photographs and films can show more than a straightforward depiction of reality, and how the alchemy of analogue techniques can be reinvented in the digital age to tell deeper stories within images. Using techniques such as film soaking, bleaching, hand-colouring and mordançage, she captures the transcendent, mysterious, and fragile qualities of landscapes in and around Newfoundland. A documentary film which accompanies the exhibition, features Inuk and Mi’kmaw artist Amy Hull telling stories about her home in Daniel’s Harbour, Newfoundland. David Norris: The Adventures of Rivet Boy In this animated musical film, Saint Andrews animator and musician David Norris constructs scenes using photographs rather than traditional drawings, to make each moment visually compelling and captivating. The storyline, intentionally simple and whimsical, is crafted to resonate with both adults and children. The music and naïveté of the narrative evoke a sense of nostalgia for adults while maintaining an accessible and enchanting quality for younger viewers.
