BBM App for iPhone & Android [TECH]

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Allen) — Tue, 14 May 2013 19:47:00 +0000

Announced today during BlackBerry Live 2013, BBM is set to go cross-platform this summer.

That means BlackBerry, iOS and Android users will able be able to chat seamlessly over BBM very soon. Cross-platform BBM is long overdue but is sure to make for plenty of happy BlackBerry users in just a few months.

The rollout will first include just chat, but soon to follow will be BBM Voice, BBM Video and even BBM Channels. Users on iOS and Android will get the same features of BBM that BlackBerry users already have so it should be pretty exciting. Best of all? It will still be totally free.

Plenty more on this to come soon so stay tuned!

Hot Docs Film Festival 2013 [FILM]

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Allen) — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:41:00 +0000

For its 20th year (that's two decades in decade terms), the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival is pulling out all the stops.

With almost 250 documentaries chosen for this year's slate, the movies feature 44 world premieres and 45 Canadian-made films. From the opening night documentary "The Manor," which focuses on an Ontario strip joint and a family that has worked there for 30-odd years, to the enthralling "12 O'Clock Boys," about a juvenile street gang in urban Baltimore, Maryland, this year's selection offers a variety of topics.

As always, the Hot Docs Festival seeks to make its audience its number-one priority, and is still offering free tickets to daytime screenings for students and seniors. Last year's festival brought in two times the expected audience, and thousands of people around the world descended on Toronto to watch the films.

A special event this year is Hot Docs 20, in celebration of its anniversary, which will feature the top 20 fan favourites and winners from previous years, and will be screening for the five weeks leading up to the festival.

Hot Docs runs from April 25 - May 5, 2013. Single tickets and packages are now available. For complete information including Special Presentations, galas and the complete screening schedule, please visit the Hot Docs official website.

Savion Glover: SoLe Sanctuary [CONCERT]

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Allen) — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:14:00 +0000

Before trappers, there were tappers. Fred Astaire, Bill Bojangles, Sandman Sims to name a few... I idolized their ability to make music and dance at the same time. So much so I used to pretend I was a tap dancing star in my church shoes. Time has moved on and now here is an opportunity to see on my favourites live!

NOW Magazine presents Savion Glover: SoLe Sanctuary Saturday, April 20, 2013 at Koerner Hall

Gregory Hines called him "the greatest tap-dancer to ever lace up a pair of tap shoes." The New York Times raves, "to see Mr. Glover dance is to see a virtuosic and authentic artist at work." He performed on Broadway as a child and has appeared in numerous movies, TV shows, and music videos. He won a Tony Award for Bring in ’da Noise/Bring in ’da Funk and has choreographed the dance moves forHappy Feet and other movies. In a tribute to his idols, hoofer Savion Glover performs an all-new concert where his reverence for the art of tap is put to the stage, in the form of a living altar where he pays his respects to the craft that he has perfected. "Barebones and pure, full of the kind of rhythmic innovation that trips down one path, splinters off in different directions and then sweeps back home." (The New York Times)

The Caribbean Film Festival [EVENTS]

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Allen) — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:14:00 +0000

On March 7th and 8th the Caribbean Studies Students Union (CARSSU) and the Cinema Studies Students Union (CINSSU) will be hosting the first-ever Caribbean Film Festival at the William Doo Auditorium on U of Tʹ St. George Campus.

This festival will showcase documentaries and narrative films that pertain to the Caribbean region, its diaspora, and will traverse a number of topics that delve into gender, race, ethnicity, popular culture, politics, sustainability of the environment, as well as the standing legacies of colonialism that still haunt the Caribbean. Our current line-up includes films with stories and histories from Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad. Prior to screening each individual film, an introduction will be made to the film and followed by a brief Q + A discussion with the director.

Our goal for this festival is to increase the accessibility and viewership of Caribbean-based films not only to its diaspora or within the University realm, but to the wider public. Moreover, we hope to portray the unique and differing inter-island narratives and perspectives. Please come out and support us in retelling and relaying our Caribbean stories and histories! It is a FREE event! Doors open at 5:30pm and screenings start at 6pm sharp.

Check out the event page on Facebook: “The Caribbean Film Festival at UofT”
