SIPS ‘N CINEMA EMPIRE THEATRES LOUNGE AT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9 The triple threat of fi ne food, fi ne wine and fi ne fi lm come together during this fun and informative afternoon designed for those who love the best of life. The fun begins with a trip to the theatre to see The Walker, one of the great Festival fi lms and then segues over to the Artisan Wine Shop on Government Street where you’ll experience a wine tasting as you nibble some delicious goodies prepared by the Irish Times Pub. Once we are settled in, Victoria Film Festival programmer Donovan Aikman will open up discussion of the fi lm that you’ve just seen. ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY. Includes the fi lm at the theatre, and wine tasting and food at Artisan Wine Shop. Film description THE WALKER Directed by Paul Schrader Society ladies have very busy husbands and very busy schedules. So sometimes a gentleman of taste, distinction and proper breeding who poses no romantic threat is called on to accompany the rich and powerful to must-attend events. Witty conversationalists, snappy dressers and etiquette snobs, these “walkers” have old-fashioned scruples – which, in the case of Carter Page III (Woody Harrelson), lead to an accusation of murder and the potential ruin of his family’s honour. Page, all southern-gentry drawl, surrounds himself with the smartest women of a certain age, who are themselves married to the most powerful men in Washington, D.C. Natalie Van Miter (Lauren Bacall), Abigail Delorean (Lily Tomlin) and Lynn Lockner (Kristin Scott Thomas) protect and scold him at weekly card games and various parties. Full description on page 36 Saturday • February 9th • Capitol 6 - 6 • 2:15PM PLATINUM The Festival has made a partnership with that ever so cool spot Platinum (on Yates across from the movie theatres). So you can meet, chat and listen to some of the best music this city has to offer before and after the fi lms. There will be great food, cocktails and coffees available. So catch some tunes or some chat before or after your movie. Here’s the who’s who of the talent that you can catch at the Lounge every night starting at 8 PM: SCHEDULE HEMANT RAO - FRI FEB 1 & SAT FEB 2 http://www.hemantrao.com/ Hemant Rao is a singer/songwriter originally from Montreal, now residing in Vancouver who has toured the US west coast and NYC. Performing songs from his fi rst two CDs as well as new songs from his upcoming third album, Hemant’s performances are all about “living the song” and his recordings have been compared to the likes of George Harrison. TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD ORCHESTRA - SUN FEB 3 http://www.myspace.com/tequilamock An acoustic sound explosion that was born in the indie scene of Victoria B.C. The band is comprised of El Mapache (accordion, vocals), Patrick “the future” McGonigle (violin, vocals), Kurt “Food Stamp” Loewen (guitar, vocals) Pão Cortez (djimbe, vocals) and Pete “el lobo” (stand up bass). The band is an eclectic mix of ska, reggae, latin rhythms, russian folk songs and hip hop all done acoustically. KAREL ROESSINGH - MON FEB 4 www.roessong.com Karel plays the piano in clubs, concert halls and in the studio whenever possible.

NICK SCHOLS - TUES FEB 5 www.nicktheentertainer.com A wonderful mix of those classic tunes from It’s Now or Never to My Way to Pretty Woman. A wonderful nostalgic treat. IAN FARISH - WED FEB 6 www.ianfarish.com Acoustic grooves, evocative vocals and thoughtful lyrics, Ian Farish and Bonnie Davison perform a selection of well-crafted pop originals from Farish’s recent CD Soul Songs. MISS EMILY BROWN - THURS FEB 7 & SAT FEB 9 www.emilybrownmusic.com With her autoharp, music box, guitar, and unmistakable voice, Miss Emily Brown performs minimalist compositions that will make you forget that you have heard everything before.

RANDY WALDIE - FRI FEB 8 www.loungerino.com Randy Waldie brings a roots-blues sensibility to the jazz standards. Quoting from many different styles he infuses a fresh take into the familiar. David Augustine is a Berkeley graduate who was music director for Princess Cruises for several years. Together, their particular brand of improvisation is both unusual and exciting SPECIAL PROGRAMS 73
