>Subject: Somewhere between cinema heaven and cinema hell, there lies...
>
>Salutations.
>
>Just wanted to send out some info re the March 8 film marathon celebrating
>International Women's Day. Note that the films start an hour earlier than
>usual. Be there no later than 7 pm.
>
>You'll see three films for the price of none, and to boot, Elizabeth May
>will handle the introductions:
>
>TOXIC PARTNERS, the premiere of Neal Livingston's film about two
>communities affected by nearby toxic waste sites, one of which is Nova
>Scotia's Sydney. Narrated by David Suzuki. Produced by Black River
>Productions, Cape Breton.
>
>FURY IN THE SOUND, a documentary about the women who fought for the
>preservation of Clayoquot Sound in British Columbia.
>
>EXPOSURE, examining environmental links to breast cancer.
>
>As usual, we'll be asking that everyone drop a buck in our donation jar, so
>cinema PIRGatory can pick up the tab for some more interesting films.
>
>Good News: Monday, March 15's edition of cinema PIRGatory will feature a
>showing of Bones of the Forest, which we recently bought. I watched it last
>night, and I can assure you it's not to be missed. But don't take my word
>for it...
>
>A brief write-up courtesy of Jim Sinclair of Pacific Cinematheque: "Bones
>of the Forest brings a deliriously avant-garde aesthetic to the
>controversial subject of contemporary forest practices. It explores, in
>lively, lyrical fashion, the often conflicting relationship to the land
>taken by 'those that were here (sic)' and 'those that came (sic)'. The
>story unfolds through the reminiscences of native and non-native elders,
>including retired loggers, native sovereigntists, corporate forestry
>executives and long-time activists." For those of you that can't make it to
>the showing (me included-- I'll be in Mike-Harrisland for the week) drop by
>the PIRG office towards the end of March, and you'll be able to sign out
>the film to watch it on your own.
>
>I should also tell you that I previewed SPIN, Brian Springer's documentary
>about spin-doctoring during the 1992 Presidential election and it is
>fantastic. That film will likely air either the last week in March or the
>first week in April. But more on that another time...
>
>Hope to see you Monday at 7 pm.
