Film Coriolanus 2012-04-30 19:00:00
Description



Director: Ralph Fiennes   UK, 2011, 123 minutes; 14A

Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Gerald Butler, Vanessa Redgrave
“ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST POLITICAL THRILLERS!” –Entertainment Weekly

Ralph Fiennes has done something truly mighty with his first turn behind the camera. A pounding, modern take on Shakespeare’s most chest-thumpingly bellicose tragedy, Coriolanus has been pruned of its extremities and transported to a vaguely Eastern European war zone. Our bald-shaved antihero, General Caius Martius (Fiennes, never with so much bark) rages into battle covered in blood. He’s terrifying. As if these fireworks weren’t enough, let’s herald the juicy resurgence of Vanessa Redgrave, in the key role of a shamed son’s equally warlike mom. The film is a spiky and complex counterweight to Hollywood sentiment and indie cynicism alike. --Time Out New York

Lecture/Seminar BC's Forgotten Oyster, the Olympia Oyster, Ostrea lurida 2012-04-30 19:30:00
Description

MARINE NIGHT
The Olympia oyster, native to the Pacific Northwest coast, was once common and widespread and supported a commercial fishery until it crashed in the early 1900s. In 2003 it was listed under the Species At Risk Act (SARA) as a species of special concern. Alicia Donaldson, a Masters candidate at UVic, is studying the effects of temperature, salinity and substrate type on their growth and development and hopes to determine their preferred settlement substrate.

Exhibit Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness 2012-04-30 07:30:00
Description

Advances in science and healthcare have allowed people with life-threatening illnesses to live longer and healthier lives. But the outcomes of treatment are uncertain and the experience of living in-between a promise of prolonged life, and the possibility of illness reoccurring and progressing, is often misunderstood.

Thirty-two people diagnosed with a life-threatening illness (cancer, chronic kidney disease, and HIV/AIDS) volunteered for an interview. They were asked to identify a symbol that represented their experience with their diagnosed illness. Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness is the collective effort from a team of nurse researchers seeking new insights into the experiences of individuals that live with the uncertainty of a serious illness.

This exhibit shares a selection of these important images and stories with the public. Symbols range from personal objects and medical documents to favourite music, clothing, and family photographs. Narratives from the participants and poems produced by the research team accompany the stories of these individuals living with a life-threatening illness. The symbols and narratives highlight how living with a life-threatening illness is much more than a “medical story.”

Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness is a travelling exhibit and will be displayed in multiple spaces from galleries to healthcare facilities. This exhibit is part of a larger study entitled Re-stor(y)ing Life Within Life-Threatening Illness. The Re-stor(y)ing project has been funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). KRESCENT and the Kidney Foundation of Canada has provided additional support.

This free exhibit runs from April 13 to June 4, 2012, at the Maltwood Prints and Drawings Gallery in the McPherson Library (Lower Level) at UVic. Gallery follows regular library hours.
