Portraits Documentary Premiere

The premiere of Portraits, a documentary on Island artist Brian Burke, RCA, will be held at Florence Simmons Performance Hall in Charlottetown on January 17 at 8 pm. Doors open at 7:30 pm. All are invited to attend and admission is free.

The whole piece is held together with music composed and played by internationally celebrated guitarist Don Ross.

Portraits, a film by Island filmmakers Brian Pollard and William Harrington, is a subtle, delicate, and even gentle piece. It shows how the ordinary souls of this world have a rightful and powerful place in the midst of high art. It is innovative in its simplicity and avoids a lot of conventional notions about documentary production.

The storm date is January 24.
