Do the Right Thing screening
Join EFSUN for our final film screening of this academic year! On March 27th at 4 PM, we will be screening Spike Lee’s all-time classic, Do the Right Thing (1989).
The film — filled to the brim with an infectious personality and style — follows Sal, the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn as a neighborhood local, Buggin' Out, becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.

Poetry Reading with Kerri Huffman
Poetry Reading with Kerri Huffman
Join us on Tuesday, October 28 from 3-4 p.m. in the Salter Reading Room (Humanities Centre 3-95) for a poetry reading and conversation with poet Kerri Huffman. The reading and conversation will take place from 3:00-3:30 p.m. and from 3:30-4:00 pm there will be a mix and mingle with light refreshments.
Kerri Huffman’s debut collection, juniper (Frontenac House), works like an X-Ray machine held up to the poet’s heart. With nimble wit and an edgy, playful voice, Huffman demonstrates the fragility of our deepest connections. Through diary-like reflections—in gardens, kitchens, city parks, nightclubs, art galleries, in various cities—the book charts the final months in the arc of a thorny, transformational, corrosive relationship. juniper is concerned with the stakes of friendship, the cost of addiction, and the savagery lurking at the edges of polite society. Huffman’s haunting verse ultimately reveals how memory clings to desire in a world of inevitable loss.
Kerri Huffman is a Toronto-based poet whose work has appeared in Acta Victoriana, CV2, Taddle Creek, The Antigonish Review, The Fiddlehead, and others. She received the Hart House Review Poetry Prize and was twice shortlisted for the Janice Colbert Poetry Award. juniper is her first collection of poetry.

Please join us October 15 from 3:30-5:00 p.m. in Humanities Centre 3-95 (Salter Reading Room) for a reading and discussion with author Joel Katelnikoff. This event will give attendees a behind the scenes look at Katelnikoff's brilliant work of research creation, poetics, and theoretical speculation, Recombinant Theory.
Recombinant Theory is a new approach to critical writing that applies cut-up techniques to the complete works of ten contemporary poet-theorists: Annharte, Charles Bernstein, Christian Bok, Johanna Drucker, Lyn Hejinian, Steve Mccaffery, Erfn Moure, Sawako Nakayasu, Lisa Robertson, and Fred Wah. These cut-ups are then compiled into essays, each refracting the concepts of the original text while producing original lyrical and theoretical formulations.
Joel Katelnikoff holds a PhD from the University of Alberta and currently resides in British Columbia. He has presented his work at academic conferences and poetry festivals around the world.

“Close Encounters of the Native Kind” with Cody Caetano
Wednesday, October 15
12:00 – 1:00 PM
Henderson Hall
Rutherford Library South 1-17
University of Alberta
Free event with no registration/tickets required
Cody Caetano’s talk “Close Encounters of the Native Kind,” explores boundaries between storytelling traditions, material and speculative realities, and what’s said and unsaid in the growing native literary tradition. This talk maps the evolution of this tradition through a framework of waves: from reflection and refraction to diffraction and, now, to a fourth wave of interference. This new wave of Indigenous literature is defined by its transcendence of material realism, in exchange for a more embodied, phenomenological truth. Through a lens that is both critical and personal, and informed by my dual role as a writer and literary agent, the talk examines how this shift challenges the market’s expectations of an “Indigenous Voice.”

Released in 1975 and directed by Sidney Lumet, Dog Day Afternoon stars Al Pacino and John Cazale as amateur bank robbers who plan to hold up a bank. A nice, simple robbery: Walk in, take the money, and run. Unfortunately, the supposedly uncomplicated heist suddenly becomes a bizarre nightmare as everything that could go wrong does.
Watch the first EFSUN screening of the year on Wednesday, September 25 at 5 PM in HC L1-L2!
