Minto is a five piece folky, rock and roll band from Vancouver whose roots run deep.

Hailing from all over Canada, these five friends starting making country tinged folk music about five years ago and slowly progressed into a stomping good time of a band.

Their first album, “Fields and Factory Floors” was a lofi gem with some mix-tape hits. And after sonically changing it up, the band decided to record a second album with indie rock super hero, Steve Albini, in Chicago, Illinois. The result was “Lay It On Me” which is getting critical acclaim.

After 7 years or so, Gaspar Noe, an Argentinean/French director comes back with a mesmerizing production that deals with the after life and the electronic circuits of Tokyo. The night life of the dead. After his controversial film Irreversible, Gaspar is bound to surpass the frontiers of art. Labeled by Noé as a “psychedelic melodrama”. This day-glo nocturne is told through the eyes of an American dope-dealer, Oscar (Nathaniel Brown), tripping on a powerful hallucinogen. That is, until Oscar is shot in a nightclub, when the film takes on the aspect of an out of body experience.
