Cinéma dans la rue
Following budget cuts by Harper’s Conservative government the decision was taken to shut down the venerable NFB location on St. Denis street, including its groundbreaking, innovative CinéRobothéque. Local filmmakers, cinephiles, critics, teachers and activists have joined together for a three-day celebration of what will be missed if the cuts proceed. The public is invited to partake in a conference, a symbolic ‘joining of hands’ outdoor screenings and more. For info: PRESS_RELEASE_Conference_Cinéma_dans_la_rue_June_4_2012.pdf
