ON THE TOWN
JUST FOR YOU
If you’re in the mood to treat
yourself to some luxury or
perhaps pick up a souvenir, head
to Shades of Sleep (page 40)
in Inglewood for true luxury in
the form of the softest, most
comfortable pyjamas and
bedding that will put even five-
star hotels to shame. Or, swing
over to Steeling Home (page 39)
on 17th Avenue SW for fun and
quirky gifts, home décor and
Canadiana.
Movie
Night
Catching a film is a great way to treat
yourself to… yourself. No talking, no
fighting over the popcorn and you get
both armrests—ideal.
The Calgary Underground Film
Festival (April 16 - 22, page 34) is
a can’t-miss for movie buffs. This
quirky fest is all about films that defy
convention, from horror, sci-fi and
fantasy to comedies, thrillers and
music-related films. Keep an eye out
for special events and features that
showcase local and international indie
filmmakers.
Outside of CUFF, hit up Calgary’s
grand old dames of indie film.
Located in Kensington since 1935,
The Plaza Theatre (page 32) is
Calgary’s longest-running theatre
and is devoted to alternative and
independent programming that is
sometimes challenging—but never
boring.
Just a hop, skip and jump away in the
heart of downtown, Globe Cinema
(page 32) is a classic movie house
that proudly shows first-run films and
unusual selections you may not find
elsewhere. The Globe is also licensed
to serve alcohol, which adds a little
spice to movie night.
