>From: dcaulfield@ns.sympatico.ca (Dave Caulfield) >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. >Dave Caulfield >dcaulfield@ns.sympatico.ca >902-422-5463 > 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.
