>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.
