CIFF announces first slate of films, including ‘raw and unfiltered' look at musical life of Bif Naked
A raw and unfiltered look into the life of Canadian musician Bif Naked will be screened as part of the 2025 Calgary International Film Festival. The Calgary International Film Festival announced its first slate of films Wednesday, including the world premiere of a documentary about Canadian musical icon Bif Naked. Described as a 'raw and unfiltered look at the life of one of Canada's most iconic and fearless musicians', Bif Naked, directed by Pollyanna Hardwicke-Browne and Jennifer Abbot, will receive a Spotlight+ screening as part of CIFF's Day One program. That means Bif Naked herself will be on the red carpet in advance of the screening, along with a post-screening Q&A and musical performance. Other Canadian world premieres announced Wednesday by CIFF include A Dickens of a Christmas, by Gillian McKercher, Calorie, by Eisha Marjara, Do Us Part by Downstage artistic director Clare Preuss, Fruit is Ripe by Yuqi Kang, Love, Harold by Alan Zweig, Middle Life by Pavan Moondi, Pulse of the Continent by Eric Gonzalez, and Singhs in the Ring, by Akash Sherman. 'Every year we get so excited about the lineup and can't wait for audiences to dig into all the gems we've found,' said CIFF lead programmer Brenda Lieberman, in a release. 'We're always looking for a unique mix from around the world, with something for everyone. 'At this year's festival we will kick things off with our Day One films, with five features from different sections at Contemporary Calgary and Globe Cinema, with one big after-party. We're all big fans of Bif Naked, who will take centre stage with our Spotlight+ screening and performance.' Tickets for Bif Naked at Spotlight+ go on sale Thursday. For more information, go here.

CBC's outdoor light show illuminates St. John's 2025 Canada Games
From August 14–20, join us near 154 Water Street from dusk until 11 p.m. for a one-of-a-kind, free event. This immersive outdoor experience celebrates the athletes, families, volunteers and fans of the 2025 Canada Games with a light projection show that changes nightly. Strike a pose A selection of photos taken at the CBC Pop-Up Photo Booth in the heart of the Games at Memorial University of Newfoundland will appear throughout the four-minute spectacle, along with daily sport competition photography and video. Bring your winning smile to the CBC photo booth for a chance to be included. Find us outdoors, near the Queen Elizabeth II Library (off Prince Philip Drive, Westerland Road or Elizabeth Avenue) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the two weeks of the 2025 Canada Games from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The music Newfoundland singer-songwriter, composer and filmmaker Ian Foster created the soundscape that will accompany the nightly show. Working closely with Wasko AV, CBC and the Canada Games, Foster's composition enhances images on the screen in a dazzling presentation. "I tried to use musical elements that captured the spirit of the Games in this song, called 'Unity.' Because this is an evolving exhibit, the music is made to loop endlessly, and the flow of the arrangement reflects that," Foster said through email. Foster's original soundscape will accompany photos, video and animation, creating a unique projection show that tells the rich story of the Games. The projection Nick Iwaskow, owner and operator of Wasko AV, worked on the creative design for the projection. In addition to photos from the CBC Pop-Up Photo Booth and competition footage provided by CBC, Iwaskow combines the pictographs from the 2025 Canada Games with original illustration and animation to complete the show. This project helps the community see St. John's and the 2025 Canada Games in a new light. "Each projection is unique and we help bring it to life through subtle motion," Wasko said. "A lot of my job involves seeking opportunities in underutilized spaces in a particular city and dreaming up ways we might find to kind of breathe new life into them. We were thrilled to have helped the city of St. John's in this way during the Canada Games."
