CINEMA POLITICA STARTS OFF NEWEST SEASON WITH THE DEVIL'S MINER

This Winter Cinema Politica has more films, more speakers, and more diversity of filmmakers then ever. We are excited to bring you our latest line-up of 14 events, totaling almost 20 films in one semester! There was so many amazing political films to choose from that we just kept adding to the program, and this year we've also added every film's trailer to the Cinema Politica site. So mark Mondays on your calendars (there are about three screenings that are not on a Monday due to booking conflicts, so pay close attention to your programs please) and come enjoy free political cinema and discussion on your campus. Our first screening of the year is THE DEVIL'S MINER, and at this screening you can pick up the new WINTER 2007 Program. After this screening, which is next TUESDAY, JANUARY 16th, you can pick up your programs at the Concordia Coop Bookstore at 2150 Bishop. Also, this week's Link has a feature article on Cinema Politica, so pick it up and read all about us!
