Watching John Stiles performing his poetry – which largely evokes his
childhood growing up in Nova Scotia's rural Annapolis Valley – is like
watching someone lost in a trance. He squeezes his eyes shut, channels
the voices of his speakers and loudly emits the sounds of growling
dogs, wailing sirens and non-verbal whoops of joy and despair. An
original artist with an unsurprisingly obtuse relationship with the
world, he has become the subject of a film – made by his close friend
John Scott – that is both true to the poet's art and understanding of
the person's idiosyncrasies. (April 25, 9:30 p.m., ROM; April 28, 7:45
