DESCRIPTION:Southwest Cultural Development Group and the Lyric Theatre pres
 ent a triple feature of three NFB documentaries celebrating Saskatchewan o
 n screen: Drylanders (1962)\, Paper Wheat (1979)\, and How the Fiddle Flow
 s (2002). These films capture prairie history\, community\, and culture\, 
 and are not to be missed. All ages welcome.\nFilm Descriptions:\n\n\n 	\nD
 rylanders (1962\, 69 minutes) - A Saskatchewan-shot feature filmed in and 
 around Swift Current\, following a homesteading family through decades of 
 life on the Prairies. This epic drama looks at the opening of the Canadian
  West and the drought that led to the Depression in the Thirties. It is th
 e saga of a family who left Eastern Canada to stake their future in the Pr
 airies. Principle roles are played by Frances Hyland and James Douglas.\n\
 n 	\nPaper Wheat (1979\, 57 minutes) - A film about the play of the same n
 ame\, describing the harsh lives of the early Saskatchewan settlers and th
 e foundation of the Co-op movement on the Prairies. With great sensitivity
  and ingenious staging\, the 25th Street House Theatre troupe brings to li
 fe an era in Canadian history--the development of the west.\n\n 	\nHow the
  Fiddle Flows (2002\, 48 minutes) - It's high summer in southern Saskatche
 wan and a rollicking tune fills the night. Four master Metis fiddlers play
  to the tapping toes of a lively crowd. From the Gaspé Peninsula\, north 
 to Hudson Bay and to the Prairies\, How the Fiddle Flows reveals how a di
 stinctive Metis identity and culture were shaped over time. Featuring soar
 ing performances by some of Canada's best-known fiddlers and step dancers 
 and narrated by award-winning actress Tantoo Cardinal.\n\n\nThis event is 
 free and no pre-registration is required.\n\nFor more information\, contac
