    • Atlantic Fashion Week: Friday night recap

    So far, the second Atlantic Fashion Week (OK, weekend) is much more subdued and focused than the first event, held last October. Gone are all the parties, and the blending of retailers and national designers—instead we have two nights highlighting local fashion designers. Perfect.

MNM usually screens about 12 limited-release films per season, a refreshing respite from the Miss Marchs and Nic Cage’s usual fare. In case you haven’t been following, Paradise Sisters was founded in 2002 with the dream of developing a rep cinema in Halifax. That, of course, didn’t happen, but the
