Wednesday, June 12: Fundraiser Movie Night -- "Occupy Love" with the short "Save Wolf Lake"
Time: 7pm
Location: Rainbow Cinemas (40 Elm Street, Sudbury)
A feature documentary by VELCROW RIPPER
Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred, Fierce Light) on
a journey deep inside the global revolution of the heart that is
erupting around the planet.
From the Arab Spring to the European Summer, from the Occupy Movement to
the global climate justice movement to #IdleNoMore, a profound shift is
taking place: humanity is waking up to the fact that the dominant system
of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning.
Occupy Love is a moving, transformative, heartfelt film, featuring
Ripper’s signature stunning visuals and rich soundscapes. A powerful
cinematic experience that will leave audiences inspired.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: "Occupy Love is the movie I have been waiting to
make, all my life. Today’s global awakening is what my earlier films
have been anticipating and fostering – a current of potential that was
pulsing and rumbling, just below the surface. Suddenly the volcano has
erupted. As the popular Occupy sign reads, 'The Beginning is Here.'"
Suggested donation: $10 or pay-what-you-can.
To open, a new short film (3 min) by Rob Nelson on Sudbury's endangered
and beloved Wolf Lake. Proceeds from this screening will go to the
Coalition To Save Wolf Lake., Coalition for a Livable Sudbury, and
Sudbury Coalitiion Against Poverty.
This will be followed by the feature "Occupy Love."
Afterwards, everyone is invited to 64 Indian Road for a comfortable,
casual debriefing & get-together with entertainment. The vibe at 64
Indian Road is one that promotes local struggling artists. We're hoping
to feature the new mircobrewery in town: Stack Beer.

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
