Comfort Film Presents a double feature of

KUBASA IN A GLASS (2006) and THE TRAGEDY OF THE WINNIPEG JETS (2006)

Originally released in 2006, Kubasa in a Glass is a collection of Winnipeg’s finest examples of locally produced television from the “golden era” of no budget and public access TV, compiled by Atelier’s Matthew Rankin and Walter Forsberg. In 2011 the filmmakers re-edited the film and presented it to a small Montreal audience, leaving the self-obsessed, inward-looking fools of Winnipeg out in the cold once again.

TRAGEDY OF THE WINNIPEG JETS (2006)

Peppered with action-packed cameos by Winnipeg All-Stars Dale Hawerchuk, Burton Cummings, Teemu Selanne, Billy Van and a recent interview with the man who sent the Jets straight into the jaws of death by throwing a cataclysmic box of popcorn onto the ice in Game 6 of the 1990 playoff series, Death by Popcorn follows the ill-fated Jets through their many travails with arch-enemies Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers, soul-crushing NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and many other agents of Winnipeg annihilation. Sadness on ice.
