The new Canadian feature, "Poe: Last Days Of The Raven" from Vancouver actor/film-maker Brent Fidler is being screened @ Vancouver's Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour St. (at Davie), Friday Sept 25: 6:30, 8:45 pm.

Directed by Fidler and Eric Goldstein, cast includes Fidler, Mackenzie Gray, Olivia Rameau, Alex Diakun and Alec Willows.

"...The film is a labour of love for Vancouver actor Brent Fidler, who adds writer-director-producer to his credentials. This home-grown independent film – 24 years in the making – explores the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe, and the way each bleeds into the other.

Unabashedly theatrical – in a manner that Poe himself would surely have approved of –'Poe: Last Days of the Raven' is an imaginative biopic in which dreams, fantasies, poetry and fiction all add up to a passionate, feverish portrait of a remarkable artist..."

2009 is the bi-centenary of the birth of author Edgar Allan Poe.

To mark the anniversary, Fidler will introduce the film and host a Q & A following the screenings...
