Subject: Missing Good Movies?

Have you missed the chance to see first-run alternative, independent, 
and foreign films on the big screen? So have the founders of the 
non-profit Paradise Sisters Film Society: It's time to bring 
repertory cinema back to Halifax!

The Paradise Sisters Film Society has already been greeted by a very 
enthusiastic community response, and volunteers are now working to 
transform a terrific downtown venue into an earthly haven for film 
lovers.

Our goal is to open The Paradise Cinema, a comfortable, accessible 
theatre running great films seven days a week. It will house quality 
sound and projection, a concession stand full of tasty treats, and up 
to 120 happy moviegoers per screening.

Within walking distance of some of Halifax's most popular 
restaurants, clubs, hotels, and shops, The Paradise Cinema will 
become a valuable addition to the city's cultural center.

We're shooting for a September, 2002 opening. To make this happen, we 
need your support. By providing Corporate Sponsorship or becoming a 
Founding Member for $100, you will become instrumental in making The 
Paradise Cinema a reality.  Or, if you want to become a future 
member, email us, (address below) and we'll put you on our contact 
list.

Screening the diversity of today, and supporting the art of tomorrow

The thriving artistic and filmmaking community of Nova Scotia has a 
great new partner in the Paradise Sisters Film Society! Besides 
showing great movies, The Paradise Cinema will be a resource for 
film-related educational and community pursuits: a venue for film 
festivals, local film studies programs, private or premiere 
screenings, corporate functions, fundraisers, and cultural events. If 
your organization would like to help realize this goal, you can show 
your support by contacting us to discuss rental options.
