The Quiet: In the 18 years Edmonton expat Samantha Schultz has been making music, this ghostly, isolated little film is her first video.

The Canadian-Filipina singer-songwriter played a main stage tweener set at the 2011 folk fest and now lives in L.A., and her pretty, bittersweet new dark jazz song is informed by the fact that, like all musicians, her career had been all but entirely knocked over like a bowling pin without apology by the pandemic.

“I’ve never openly addressed my anxiety and depression before,” she says. “Making this song intensely personal, and I want others to feel they have someone to relate to if they feel the same.”

We know we’ll get through this together, and this song shows how: with love.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

The Key of Me: Such a strange world now. While SkirtsAfire is being intentionally coy about when its performers are playing so that crowds DON’T form, there will now and then be music in the windows of gutted Whyte Avenue’s Army & Navy ruin — and even if you don’t happen to catch a live performance behind glass, there’s always the Contradictions art install in the windows as part of the festival.

So come on by — you’ll definitely see something!

Demonlover (2002): In Oliver Assayas’ neo-noir thriller which played Cannes, Connie Nielsen plays Diane de Monx, an executive turned spy in a corporate battle over the lucrative market of Internet adult animation.

But Diane may not be the only player with a hidden agenda: both romantic interest Hervé (Charles Berling) and office enemy Elise (Chloë Sevigny) seem to know her secret and can easily use it against her for their own purposes. French and Japanese with subtitles, 122 minutes.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
