Esker Foundation - #444, 1011 9 Ave SE, Calgary, AB
FREE Admission w/ RSVP

Esker Foundation provides free public programming to encourage participation and to increase accessibility to contemporary art. The film series is curated in response to, and in tandem with our current exhibitions.

We are excited to partner with local bakery, Sidewalk Citizen who will be providing complimentary treats, inspired by and accompanying every screening this fall.

Boy is a dreamer who loves Michael Jackson. He lives with his brother Rocky, a tribe of deserted cousins and his Nan. Boy’s other hero, his father Alamein, is the subject of Boy’s fantasies, and he imagines him as a deep sea diver, war hero and a close relation of Michael Jackson. In reality Alamein is an inept, wannabe gangster who has been in jail for robbery. When Alamein returns home after seven years away, Boy is forced to confront the man he thought he remembered, find his own potential and learn to get along without the hero he had been hoping for.

Dir. Taika Waititi, 2010, 87 mins.
Registration essential.
