This week Ben Rowe, Programming Coordinator at Calgary Cinematheque, spoke to me about the upcoming season which is packed with interesting screenings and special events. First up is Final Frames; a selection of the final films from important directors. Next, they will be hosting a screening of Phantom of the Opera with a live score performed during the show! He also speaks on his own personal history with film and his thoughts on the future of production in Alberta. If you want to hear about how the original Godzilla, Conan the Barbarian and cinerama influenced filmmaking, stay tuned!
Also, Ben has a horror movie Podcast!
