>From: dcaulfield@ns.sympatico.ca (Dave Caulfield) >Subject: The latest goings-on in cinema PIRGatory > >Salutations. > >First things first: thank you to all of you who came to last Monday's Int'l >Women's day celebration. Four weeks in, and already a packed house. We also >took in 68 clams in donations, the bulk of which has gone towards the >purchase of an animal-rights film called A COW AT MY TABLE. The film >library grows... > >Anyhoo. > >Just wanted to mention the film we're showing on Monday, March 15. It's a >Canadian documentary, by Heather Frise and Velcrow Ripper, called Bones of >the Forest. The film, which is a recent purchase by cinema PIRGatory and >will be available in the coming weeks for home viewing from the NSPIRG >office, is a little more asthetic that cinema PIRG's usual fare. It runs as >a series of vignetted interviews with elders, both native and non-native, >running the gamut from an ex-logger-turned-environmentalist to a former >president of MacBlo. Bones of the Forest is an excellent film and I hope >you'll all be there. Faisal Moola, who teaches environmental studies at >Saint Mary's University will mediate a post-film discussion and things get >underway at 8 pm in the usual place, the McMechan Room of the Killam >Library. > >Sadly, I will not be able to be there this week. I'll be rubbing elbows >with friends and family in the grimy groin of southern Ontario. In the >event that the goldilocked Colin Lake, who'll be pinch-hitting for yours >truly on Monday, fails to live up to your expectations, I suggest >full-fledge mutiny. > >The following week (Monday, March 22), cinema PIRGatory will start an hour >earlier at 7 pm in the McMechan Room. We'll be showing the full version of >Noam Chomsky's MANUFACTURING CONSENT, which will include an introduction by >Bruce Wark. In addition to penning MEDIA RARE for the Coast once a >fortnight, Wark also teaches Journalism Ethics at the University of King's >College. He's also one of the wisest guys I know. But there will be more on >MANUFACTURING CONSENT next week. > >Take care, and I hope you enjoy BONES OF THE FOREST. > >Dave Caulfield >cinema PIRGatory > nspirg nova scotia public interest research group 6136 university ave halifax, ns b3h 4j2 902-494-6662 nspirg@is2.dal.ca executive director : linda pannozzo -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- You received this because you are subscribed to "sust-mar", the Sustainable Maritimes mailing list.
