Offscreen Notes
The Film Society
There is a new event being hosted at Concordia, in VA-114 and JA De Seve, The Film Society screenings. The Film Society is run by Phil Spurrell, who has been serving the film community in Montreal for 20 years, hosting monthly or bi-monthly screenings of 16mm (and sometimes 35mm) old, classic and contemporary films. The nice thing about The Film Society is that with the transition to digital projection, this is one of the few places where you can still see actual celluloid in Montreal, where right now there are very few remaining venues that still screen 35mm (Cinema du parc, Ex-Centris and the Cinémathèque). Thisi Friday, Nov. 23, the FS is having a special 20th anniversary event to launch its new Concordia Partnership, at the J.A. deSeve theatre at 7:30pm. It is a surprise title of a 35mm cinemascope (BIG) film. The actual regular screenings will be held normally on Sunday nights.
