Queen of Cape Town
Filmmaker Danishka Esterhazy left Winnipeg a few years back to pursue a career and finally realize a long-delayed dream project, the dystopian science-fiction film Level 16.
She followed that up with a horror movie shot in Cape Town, South Africa, based on the tacky ’60s kids show The Banana Splits.
Esterhazy will again be shooting in South Africa for her next project, the comic book-based TV series Vagrant Queen, again for SyFy and set for broadcast in 2020. Vault Comics describes the project as “if Star Wars was directed by the Coen brothers.”
ANTHONY AUGUSTINE / MOVIES
Of Mics And Men
If you have been looking for a reason to justify another streaming service, the new four-part series by respected documentary filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (who has previously covered Neil Young, Talking Heads, Tom Waits and Iggy Pop) on influential hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan is now available exclusively on Crave.
Breaking down some of the mysteries of the nine-member crew, you begin to see that it was no coincidence that these New York and New Jersey-based MCs and producers rose to fame during the ’90s, establishing a reputation as some of the toughest artists in the business.
In a year where it seems music documentaries and movies have had a huge profile, none have examined the cultural, social and musical influence of a contemporary group like Wu-Tang Clan.

Forks’ outdoor patio serving up suds and Shiraz
The May long weekend is often the first chance thirsty Winnipeggers have to sit on a patio (or deck, or in the backyard) and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage.
So it makes plenty of sense that The Forks Market’s new licensed outdoor patio debuted over the Victoria Day weekend to lineups of thirsty patrons.
The space features 250 communal seats as well as a bar dubbed the Common, like its indoor equivalent; both indoor and outdoor bars also feature the same selection of 20 beers on tap as well as 20 wines.
The space is expected to begin featuring firepits and live entertainment in coming weeks.
