Directed by: Wong Kar-wai ( 王家卫)

He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while.  It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed. Nobody knew for sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back- except for one. He was there. He chose to leave. He wanted to change.

Tatiana Poliakevitch, Community Development Librarian from Red Deer Public Library will lead the post-film discussion.

Admission is free. If you have any questions, please call at 318-9312.

Don’t miss this show of eight paintings and poems, part of the artist’s ‘Consequence of Life’ series.

I strive with every piece to open a window through which one can experience an emotional bonding; a visceral intimacy if you will. I want to create work that speaks of life and death and questions the meaning of our existence. My purpose as an artist is to challenge and explore the sensibilities and, perhaps more importantly, the fallibilities of the human condition.
