The second annual Calgary Black Film Festival, created by the Fabienne Colas Foundation and presented by Global News, is thrilled to announce its official hybrid program and events lineup, running May 26–29. After the great success of the first virtual edition, #CBFF22 is back to amplify the voices of Afro-descendants in Alberta. #CBFF22 aims to connect authentic Black stories with viewers of all colours and ethnic origins in Alberta, the province that holds Canada’s third largest Black population after Ontario and Quebec.
The Calgary Black Film Festival’s bold and diverse programming is moving to a hybrid model this year with its first in-person offering in Calgary, with continued online programming for accessibility across Canada and the world. Through films and various panels, this hybrid second edition is aimed at the public from all communities as it highlights the talent of creators from diverse backgrounds and makes room for them to reflect on the issues they face. The in-person screenings and events will take place at the Globe Cinema, the Dome Theatre at Telus Spark Science Centre, the Calgary Memorial Park Library and the Calgary Central Library.
The CBFF Black Market – an industry series where renowned industry professionals share real-world experience on today’s most critical filmmaking and social issues – will present an exciting blend of cutting-edge thinking panel discussion.
Presented by NETFLIX, in collaboration with the National Bank, and supported by Telefilm Canada, Canada Media Fund, the Canada Council for the Arts and various local partners.
35 Canadian short films from the 2021 cohort will be presented at #CBFF22! The FCF’s Being Black in Canada supported 35 Black Canadian Filmmakers, 18 to 30 years old, in Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver in the creation of 35 documentary short films (8 to 10 minutes). The filmmakers received professional coaching for each stage of the audiovisual production process then made a short documentary film under the tutelage of industry professionals. A unique project that ensures inspiring emerging artists from culturally diverse backgrounds.

CBFF Black Market
The CBFF Black Market space is dedicated to the cinema industry and raising awareness of today’s social climate with some powerful & FREE panel discussions:

In-Person Discussions:
At the Memorial Park Library

Meet the Filmmakers
This panel will focus on their inspirations, the obstacles, the improvements and the positive points of being a Black content creator in Calgary.

Networking - The How To Rules for Approaching People in the Industry
The entertainment industry is not only about talent but also the ability to network. Knowing how to approach people with the intent of creating powerful bonds and solid support systems will take you a long way. This panel will discuss how to successfully accomplish this.

Victories and Challenges of Calgary’s Black Community
The last two years were extremely challenging for many entrepreneurs and organizations, especially those from Black communities. This panel will discuss some of the obstacles Calgary’s Black community faced during this unprecedented situation. And most importantly, how people managed to rise up and find victories during these difficult times.

Online Discussions
The Art of Marketing – How to communicate your film or tv series to a broader audience: Every movie or tv series has its target audience, and sometimes, finding them is not an easy task. This panel will discuss how these marketing teams work to create a connection between the audience and the project, sparking people’s curiosity and the desire to follow these unknown adventures.

In Our Own Voice – What is said, How it is Said and Who should Say It
The industry is trying to find more content representing a diversity of voices but these films and TV shows do not always have BIPOC members in their creative teams, perpetuating the problem. This panel will feature Black Industry leaders and Creatives who will look at these difficult questions and discuss ways to advocate lasting and significant change.

Encore Presentations
Diversity On And Off-Screen: Industry professionals discuss the underrepresentation of Black talent off and on screen. They will share their experiences regarding the issue and offer ideas and advice to help solve the problem.

Black Artists in Calgary – On the Move
This discussion will feature some of Calgary’s talented emerging Black Artists who are successfully establishing themselves and realizing their projects despite the obstacles and unique challenges they may be faced with.

The Calgary Black Film Festival (CBFF), a not-for-profit organization created by the Fabienne Colas Foundation, is about discovery and Inclusion. CBFF wants to amplify more Black voices and showcase the most relevant Black films from here and abroad while creating a space to debate major cultural, social, and socio-economic issues. The Calgary Black Film Festival is dedicated to giving unique voices in cinema the opportunity to present audiences with new ways of looking at the world. CBFF’s ambition is to encourage the development of the independent film industry and to promote more films on the reality of Black people from around the Globe.

Vaisakhi Mela 2022

Genesis Centre Feature Gymnasium, 7555 Falconridge Boulevard N.E.

2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.

Free Family Event

For many 1000s of years, April has been the time when farmers have put their sickles to harvest and collected the precious life saving crops. In the countryside, during this time, the fragrance of the harvest is ubiquitous with scenes of many large piles of grains in one corner of the field; the stacks of wheat stalks ready as fodder for the cattle in another and the general urgency and excitement of the hustle and bustle of transporting and selling of the farm commodity by the farmers.
Without a good harvest, communities would perish and so there was always great joy when a good harvest resulted at Vaisakhi time. The spring season has always been an important and decisive time for the people of the northern hemisphere from times immemorial. During historical times, much had depended on the outcome of the harvest. This in turn had depended on the weather during the months following winter.
The event anticipates attracting a lot of participants out of 140,000 South East Asians along with various Canadian Communities. It is an excellent opportunity to interact with Vaisakhi Mela audiences and celebrate the joy of Vaisakhi Mela in a pure traditional and cultural way. Vaisakhi Mela is mega event to celebrate Indian New Year, Harvest Festival and Religious Festival all rolled into one.

Highlights Of The Show
Bhangra/Giddha
and much more.

This year, Humainologie is honoured to be delivering Empathy Week 2022 with Prospect Human Services and Campfire Kinship from June 1-7.

What is Empathy Week?
Empathy Week is a seven-day festival of events which promotes empathy, human connection, and the recognition of our shared humanity. Empathy Week is curated by Humainologie and is a community initiative with numerous Calgary partner organizations and individuals coming together to host a variety of events.

What is Empathy?
There are many different definitions of ’empathy’. It can be referred to as the ability to step into the shoes of another; to imagine what they may be thinking and/or feeling. Empathy helps us create strong relationships and healthy communities. Does Empathy mean feeling exactly what someone else feels? No, it doesn’t. We can never know exactly what another person is feeling or be able to exactly replicate those feelings, but we can make an attempt or an estimation.

Humainologie is a not-for-profit charity whose vision is ‘an equitable world where every human is heard, included, and valued.’ Through art, including film, Humainologie centers people facing systemic barriers by
amplifying their stories and celebrating their humanity, focusing on those who have experienced inequality, discrimination, and/or been historically excluded. This could be due to, but not limited to, race, national or ethnic origin, skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disability.

Alberta Beer Festivals present Brew Ed. (POSTPONED UNTIL JULY)

Brewer's Apprentice, N3 448 8 Ave. S.E.

6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. each class

Registration: $165
Includes all four "classes" including beer and brewery tour. Registration can be bought as a gift to use in any month in 2022.

Alberta Beer Festivals has always been about beer education. In order to continue that practise, they have created Brew Ed. (formerly Beer School), a four-part course that will cover all aspects about beer. Intimidated by the number of beers available and would like to know more about different beer styles? Are you currently employed or thinking about working in the restaurant service or alcohol retail industry? Do you plan to take the Cicerone Certification Program or want to learn more about the Beer Judge Certification Program?
Intent on becoming a home brewer, but would like to know what varieties to brew? Or, simply, you just like beer and would like to know more about it? If you answered yes to any of the above, then Brew Ed is for you.

Each class of 10 people (maximum) will run approximately three hours and will cover a different topic such as the history of beer styles, how beer is made, and get up and personal with beer’s different ingredients. We will study beer’s characteristics and components, what makes a good beer, and even learn how to judge a beer. You’ll also learn a bit about beer packaging, glassware and home brewing. Lastly, we will also look at some food and beer pairings and talk about cooking with beer. Approximately a dozen beers will be sampled each class, so you’ll see and taste the difference between the different beer styles. The final class will be a “field trip” to one of Calgary’s breweries, where the “students” can see how beer is made first hand. And note: there will be NO final exam!In addition to learning about the world’s most popular alcoholic beverage in an educational yet fun “classroom” you will:
- Receive your own Growler
- Try some surprise beers
- Be eligible to judge and/or steward at Calgary International Beerfest in May 2023, which includes free admission to the show. Details will be explained in “class”.

So register for Calgary’s most comprehensive beer learning experience today, before all the spots fill up! The next session will begin in July 2022.

Note: You must be 18 years or older to register.Click here to see the Course Outline.

This year marks the 31st anniversary of the Paperny Family Jewish Community Centre Sports Dinner, featuring former NFL quarterback, Alex Smith. He will share his story of resilience – it is one of the greatest comebacks in football history.
This corporate event is our largest fundraiser of the year and one of the biggest fundraising dinners in Calgary. As a not-for-profit organization, the JCC is a community centre that relies on fundraising to provide social, educational, recreational, and cultural programming to individuals and families of all ages, stages, and backgrounds.

About Alex Smith
There is no better model for perseverance than Alex Smith. After suffering a life-threatening injury to his right leg that nearly resulted in amputation, Smith’s return to the field is regarded as one of the most iconic moments in football history.
Smith would complete his comeback in October of the 2020 season and go on to appear in eight games earning a 5-1 record in his first six starts. His determination and success earned him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year honour. His story of triumph and return was documented in a special edition of ESPN’s E60, Project 11 in May 2020, which highlighted how doctors and the Smith family had to make life-changing decisions due to a post-operative infection.
Smith retired from the NFL in April of 2021 after an incredible 16-year career, which began when he was selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the number one overall draft pick in 2005. In his illustrious career, the California-native passed for more than 35,000 yards, threw nearly 200 touchdowns and appeared in more than 175 games. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2013, 2016, and 2017.
Since retiring from football, Smith has shown no signs of slowing down as he recently joined ESPN’s roster of on-air talent to contribute his expertise throughout the NFL season. Smith will have a role on Monday Night Countdown on select weeks, contribute to Sunday NFL Countdown and will also be part of ESPN’s coverage of key tent pole events, such as Super Bowl LVI and the 2022 NFL Draft.
Smith is a graduate of the University of Utah and was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2004 and lead Utah to a victory in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl, finishing in the national top-five before declaring for the NFL draft.
Off the field, Smith is a dedicated husband, father and philanthropist as he founded The Alex Smith Foundation, which provides foster teens with the tools and resources needed to transition to successful adulthood.
Smith and his wife Elizabeth live in northern California with their three children.

About the Paperny Family JCC
For over 40 years, the Paperny Family JCC is a place where lifelong, meaningful connections have been made. Whether it is swimming laps in the salt water pool, taking a yoga or spin class, enrolling your children in the licensed childcare programs, building cultural bridges, or more recently, “Zooming” in with friends for a Golden Age luncheon, the future of the JCC is up to all of us.
Their vision is focused on sharing diverse experiences in a safe and inclusive space for everyone. Whether connecting in-person or virtually, being guided by core values is the way they have approached all of the programs and services offered throughout this challenging time.
“Community” is their middle name and maintaining the culture that goes along with that is – and has always been – the number one priority. As always, we are stronger together!

They believe these attributes not only define, but connect us as a community. As humanity. They give us sense of place in the world, a place we can call our own and be proud of.
The events, which are held within Calgary and points west of the city, offer up a truly remarkable set of inclusive experiences of adventure and learning, sport, music, art, history, culinary, craft, in which participants can expect a healthy bit of Wild West tossed in. The intention is to guide and nurture participants to a taste of the West they might not have dreamed possible. Alberta offers the perfect combination of land, wildness, culture and characters that result in a place, and an identity, that is unlike any other in the world. Be part of this Festival, experience one or more events, and through it discover your West. Explore the Head West Market and participate in the Pure West Art & Artifact Auction. Allow it to permeate your bones, your soul and to shape your footprint. Let it define you and your future.
Way Out West Festival is a catalyst for connections with the land of the great West, while leaving as soft a footprint as possible. The Way Out West team strives to produce a festival that is innovatively sustainable. Whenever possible, printed goods and brand clothing are made of recyclable paper and organic materials. They work with food and drink partners and sponsors who use biodegradable food packaging and cutlery.

The time is now! A cultural shift has started and we are but one more pebble in the landslide that is age-positive living in Life's Third Act. The term “third act” has been around for more than a decade and Jane Fonda made it popular with her 2011 TED Talk.
There is so much to celebrate this year. The first 5 years have, in some respects, flown by, and the end of the pandemic is within sight which makes us absolutely effervescent.
This year represents the largest number of films in the festival to date at 36. This year's filmmakers have wowed everyone with their short films both from a technical and story perspective. The world is an amazing place and these filmmakers have captured some funny, tender, heartrending moments that will knock your socks off. THIRD ACTion is pleased to have 6 wonderful Canadian films highlighting the talent on tap from across the country
THIRD ACTion was started in 2017 by Mitzi Murray in response to a cultural shift around aging that was beginning to take place. For the vast majority of Canadians, the third act will be the last 3 decades of our life. Because we are living longer, Statistics Canada advises that this will be our 70s, 80s and 90s and there is about to be way more of us than there will be younger people. Everyone's third act is personal though and can occur at any age.
THIRD ACTion had its inaugural festival in June 2018 at the Glenbow Museum. The festival offered 9 screenings showing a total of 31 films along with an art show addressing seniors’ mental health. The festival was repeated in 2019 and has continued to grow; putting on talks and screenings outside of the festival dates by partnering with other organizations.
THIRD ACTion Film Festival's focus is to celebrate aging and the accomplishments of older adults to help speed along an age-positive culture shift and empower everyone to envision their best third act.
What do you think you best third act will look like? Well, Greta Pontarelli became a World Champion Pole Dancer at 65, Tatsuo Horiuchi, at 77, is creating amazing art using Microsoft Excel and Charlie Warner, at 81, decided to go to the Burning Man Festival – the world’s most challenging festival both mentally and physically.
You can’t dream and plan if you have a narrow definition of what aging can be.
The time has come to rejoice in the vibrancy, promise and joy of our third act because let’s face it, we don’t have a choice about getting older!
Come see the possibilities, dream your dream and cultivate the resiliency to age well.

Neighbour Day started in June 2014 to celebrate the incredible outpouring of support and generosity neighbours demonstrated after the 2013 floods. We want to continue to celebrate one of the things that makes Calgary such a great city — our strong and caring communities.
Neighbour Day now provides the opportunity for Calgarians to celebrate our community spirit, kindness and resilience through the pandemic.

The annual Water Valley Celtic Festival is a one day lively and totally unique experience that features talent of all levels involving music, dance and stories performed by individuals and groups covering the range from amateur to professional level. This festival is patterned after the festival held at Feakle, Co. Clare, Ireland, which was the inspiration for the festival's founder Dave Settles.
The festival is designed to promote traditional Celtic material and local talent. The Calgary area has many fine festivals that promote imported talent and contemporary music. This festival is not designed to compete with other events but rather to add another dimension to the Celtic entertainment choices . . . . including comfort!! This event is all inside or weather protected by tents.
You will find performances in over 10 different venues including the historic church, schoolhouse and on an old-time general store porch, all in the picturesque community of Water Valley.
You may need to dance in your Water Valley Oxfords, but there will be tents up and lots of tasty food. Guaranteed to be a great time!
