Film Screening:

Duster (1991), dir. Eric Metcalfe and Hank Bull

August 13 | 6-7 PM

Please join us for a screening of Duster, a 1991 film by artists Eric Metcalfe and Hank Bull.

Duster is a comic western that takes you on a journey through deserts, ghost towns, lost mines, and a home-shopping channel, all in search of a mysterious treasure. Gertrude Stein (Corry Wyngaarden), the tough saloon owner, teams up with the eccentric wizard (Warren Arcan) and the high-tech Tipi Trauma Mama (Rebecca Belmore) to protect the treasure from the greedy MacBooty brothers (Bull and Metcalfe) and the sinister Dark Day (Fraser Finlayson). A love story emerges along the way, but at its core, Duster is about death, legacy, and honouring our ancestors. Free with registration

This screening is programmed in conjunction with Kenneth Tam: Silent Spikes, on view in the Morris & Ann Dancyger Observatory Gallery until November 16, 2025.
