Mise’l and Antle were inseparable as kids and have not spoken in years. When a malevolent spirit from their shared past starts closing in, Mise’l returns to their home community to warn his brother, and the two set out on foot and by canoe into the forest that gives the film its name: a place where time comes unfixed, where memory and history refuse to stay in the past, and where the brothers will have to face what happened to them if they want it to stop. Two-spirit L’nu filmmaker Bretten Hannam spent roughly a decade making this, following their breakthrough feature Wildhood. It moves between horro

Art Speaks is a learning series developed and delivered in partnership with the Red Deer Arts Council. oin presenter Betty Oldham for an exploration of Hardanger embroidery, a striking form of Norwegian cutwork with roots reaching back through earlier Asian and European needlework traditions. In Norway’s Hardanger region, embroiderers refined the distinctive open, geometric techniques that would come to decorate everything from everyday clothing to treasured household linens. When Norwegian immigrants settled in North America, they carried the tradition with them, and it continued to evolve into the Hardanger embroidery recognized today. Betty will trace that journey, from the earliest delicate silk and gauze lace through to the crisp linen and cotton work of more recent generations. A generous selection of Hardanger embroidered linens and clothing will be on display, and the evening includes a visit to the Norwegian Laft Hus embroidery collection. Whether you have stitched for y

Friday Family Fun Night brings families to the MAG for an evening of something different. The theme changes every time, from hands-on making to games to seasonal celebrations, but it is always drop-in, always at your own pace, and always designed for a range of ages. Come when it works and stay as long as it is going well. Wear your brightest neon or your whitest white, because the lights are going out in the Stewart Discovery Studio and the black lights are coming on. We are painting glowing jiggly jellyfish, the kind that wiggle, wobble, and jiggle when you carry them. Once they are made, they need somewhere to go, so there may be a jellyfish parade. There may also be a glow in the dark dance party. We are not making any promises, but we are not ruling anything out either 😉. Drop in when it suits you. Wear something you do not mind getting paint on, and remember that white and neon light up under black light while dark colours mostly disappear. Friday Family Fun Night is free to att

Guided walking tours of downtown Red Deer. Historic homes, original businesses, public art, and the stories behind the spots you pass by regularly. Most heritage walks show you the houses of people who could afford to be remembered. Parkvale is different. It was laid out in 1905 for working people, and the homes still standing there were built by the carpenters, railway workers, and shopkeepers who actually built Red Deer. This guided walk takes you through one of the city’s oldest residential areas, just east of the museum, and out through parts of Coronation Park and the Waskasoo neighbourhood. You will hear about the architecture, the families who lived in these houses, and what they were doing in the years when Red Deer was still deciding what kind of place it was going to be. In late September the whole route is usually under fall canopy, which does not hurt. This is the longest of our walking tours, roughly two hours at a steady pace with stops. The tour meets at the MAG fr
