Valentine’s video tribute debut at Arbor Gallery

Patrons of Arbor Gallery in Vankleek Hill had a chance to enjoy the feeling of a Hollywood premier, with a video debut this past Family Day weekend.

Entertainer Janie Renée Myner presented the premier debut of her new music video, L’Embuscade, February 17, as part of this season’s Arbor Gallery Speaker Series: Interesting Talks with Interesting People. Myner also introduced the cast who created the film.

“This video is also intended as an homage to Phil Arber,” stated Myner, “who was an art lover, and a pillar of our community.”

L’Embuscade is also, in part, a celebration of the Valentine’s Day season, and part of the video was filmed at the Arbor Gallery itself. A translation of the words of the song expresses the overall tone of the video: “My heart is a nomad, a little bohemian, a pilgrim of adventure, a collector of fate.”

During the evening, movie crew members shared some of their own anecdotes surrounding the creation of the music video. La Arbor Gallery a présenté un premier clip vidéo de l’artiste locale Janie Renée Myner. La vidéo est, en partie, un hommage à Phil Arber, un pilier de la communauté (qu’on voit ci-dessus dans une photo) qui était responsable de l’organisation de nombreux festivals populaires à Vankleek Hill.

“We are so very pleased to feature Janie’s video here at the gallery,” said Samme Putzel, organizer of the 2018 Speaker Series. “We are privileged to be able to feature the work of such a talented artist who lives right here in our midst.”
