Edmonton International Cat Fest: Your cat is the cutest around, right? Well, please share the wealth with your best fuzzball photo in EICF’s Edmonton’s Most Purr-fect Cat Photo Contest, leading up to the actual May 25 festival at MacEwan University. To enter, simply send four pics complying with the cat-egories formal, everyday, swimsuit and an answer to the question: how would your cat make the world a better place? Submissions will play on the fest’s big screen, and a panel will select three “Most Purr-fect Cats” for prizes. Deadline is 11:59 p.m. May 13 — and there’s also a separate, K-12 student cat art contest if this one doesn’t work for you, details at the website below.

Magic Hours: A new documentary about Alberta’s struggling indie-cinema spaces is free online. Local producer Dylan Ryhs Howard says Garneau Theatre, included in Magic Hours, is “an example of what can happen when communities rally around these iconic spaces and a not-for-profit business model is put in place to ensure that people can continue to enjoy a wide range of films from around the world, in a public setting irrespective of what’s happening with the film-exhibition market.” Calgary’s Levi Howell directs this exploration of nine historic provincial theatres, and while an in-person screening at Metro is in the works, you can watch it now on CBC Gem.

Scenes from a Marriage: Sheila Luck and Mitchel Smith’s artistic odyssey began meeting in art school 45 years ago, and ever since the couple have been active in Edmonton’s art scene, producing markedly different takes on abstract painting. Luck’s work favours bold, colourful, partitioned shapes, while Smith’s paintings are more singular and simple — each mesmerising.

“Time will tell,” says Smith, “as it always does, if these pictures are significant or lasting — but I am sure that both of us have made a serious effort. And that is where all the fun is.”
