    What's that - you've never heard of Carbon Arc? Well, I can't say I'm all that surprised. This…read moreindependent, weekly film festival of sorts is about as close to a secret society as you can get in Halifax. How so? I'll explain. First, the secret hideout. The Khyber Club is that building you've walked by countless times on Barrington Street but never really knew what happened inside. Be brave, push past that front door, and start climbing up the historic stairs and you'll find the home of Carbon Arc. Second, the 'right place, right time' factor. It might not be exactly 'Skulls' material, but here's the one rule you need to know in order to earn entry to Carbon Arc: Thursday nights are screening nights. You'll have to keep your ear to the ground (Twitter and Facebook make this easier than it sounds) to hear what you'll find there from night to night, but it certainly won't be your average night at Empire. Third, the in-crowd. Simply put, there isn't one. There was not one distinguishable demographic that held true throughout the entire crowd when I visited and that seemed to work just fine. Some artsy, some mainstream, some old, some young, some even in costume - they were all welcomed the same by a Carbon Arc volunteer's preamble to the show. Need more? Fine. Films are screened on an entire wall with great clarity as you sit in poor man's stadium seating, crafted by the volunteer organization themselves. You can nab popcorn, candy and even beer if you bring cash. Stay alert to catch wind of a flick that's up your alley, or at least close enough to your alley to be worth a shot, and enter the world of Carbon Arc. The city needs more of this.

    Carbon Arc at the Khyber has only been running since July 2010, but it has…read morealready attracted a lot of attention because of the fantastic films it has been screening. It's also special because it occupies the former Wormwood's space--an independent theater I always wished I could have experienced. Alas, I was 13 and thought Armegeddon was the best movie ever. Carbon Arc is a permanent theatre space run completely by volunteers. Their goal is to have the space used as much as possible--right now they're holding screening every Thursday. A great thing about Carbon Arc screenings is that someone attached to the film, whether it's a crew member or simply a devotee, will speak before the movie starts and give you something to think about while watching. Director Sook-Yin Lee introduced her film, Year of the Carnivore, while Carbon Arc volunteer Allan Collins introduced David Cronenberg's The Brood--a film he edited. For a film fan, this place feels like home, and I look forward to attending many more of their weekly screenings.

    In October we had the pleasure of meeting Richard. We hired him to provide music for our son and…read morehis husbands wedding. Richard was very professional and took the time to meet with myself, my husband and the grooms. He explained all the different services that his business provided. Richard explained to the grooms different ideas that he provided for other events. He kept all the guests on their feet with a wonderful selection of music for all. We also used the lights that Richard had available and it looked fantastic! I would highly recommend the services that Kraken Entertainment provides. Thank you Richard for helping to make lasting memories!

    An amazing experience! One of a kind. They are always playing double and triple features, and on…read moreWednesdays you can pay only $35 for a whole car load of people! It is well worth the price, a bargain to say the least! The food stand is beautifully designed and goes very well with the 50's decor of the whole place. They are always playing retro music before the show starts and they have beautiful decorations around the huge screen. You can see very well no matter where you park. The drive-in is clean and well-kept. Only drawback is that it gets a little buggy at night, but nobody can help that. Just bring blankets and bug spray. A fun and unique experience that the whole family will enjoy. They usually start out with a kids film (like Ice Age or Finding Dory) and then play a more grown-up film afterwards. By that time, your little ones will already be asleep. If you want to sit inside your car instead of in the chairs that they have set up down in front (or bringing your own chairs), you can sit in your car and tune your radio to their custom station, so that you can watch and listen in the comfort of your vehicle (with air conditioning and no bugs). Truly a great place! The owner is so kind. They do raffles on their Facebook page frequently for free tickets. And the owner has even posted his cell phone number on the side of the concession stand incase anyone should find themselves with a flat tire or a dead battery and should need assistance. You just can't find that kind of service and dedication to customer satisfaction anywhere anymore!! We have been here a million times and will be coming back a million times more! We love it!
