ISABELLE WALKS WITH ANGELS – FILM & BOOK LAUNCH

The multi-disciplinary artist collective Isabelle’s Angels launches a film, Isabelle Walks With Angels, while acclaimed Montreal author Norman Nawrocki and visual artist Ivan R. (also members of the collective) launch their newest book, Isabelle Walks With Angels, A Montreal Urban Legend at the same time, Thursday June 22nd, 2023 @ le MAI, Montréal, arts interculturels, 3680 Jeanne-Mance, Montréal. Doors open 6:30pm. There will be two screenings: 7pm and 8pm. The event is free.

Directed by Naomi Silver-Vézina (aka, Naomi SV), the film is based on Nawrocki’s extraordinary magical realist short story of the same name. It blends theatre, dance, animation and visual art to tell a compelling tale about a despairing woman who meets an all-women biker gang. The text in the gorgeous full colour 84 page book is embedded in a  collection of powerful illustrations, collages and paintings of Montreal by Ivan R.

Advance praise for the book:
 “A remarkable tale capturing the brutal labyrinth of life of the streets in cinematic prose and stunning art.”  – David Lester, artist of 1919: a graphic History of the Winnipeg General Strike.
