Featured Film: Five Ring Circus

Directed by Conrad Schmidt, Edited by Chantal Morin.
(Running time: 76 minutes)

In 2003 the citizens of Vancouver were promised that the Olympics would transform their city into a world class city. Instead what they got was rising rents, evictions, an ecological disaster, surveillance cameras, erosion of civil liberties, an illegal cleanup operation and spiralling out of control costs.

The "Five Ring Circus" exposes a side to the Vancouver Olympics which has not been revealed before. This film shows how this three week event is changing Vancouver forever. Find out what mayors, activists and residents think of the 2010 Olympic Games. With three years to go before the games, this documentary examines how the commitments to environmental, social and economic sustainability have not been kept and how the preparations for the games are affecting diverse communities. Is Vancouver getting into the spirit of the Olympics?

Featured Artist: Judith C. Hart

A Euro-Canadian self taught visual artist working within the realms of 'outsider art'. Her medium is found objects from around the world's flea markets and most peculiar places....which transform in her hands to tell a 'new story'. These stories are called 'everyday mythologies' we collectively weave by our beliefs based actions in society.

Come meet Judith at this month's event. Her artwork will be showcased available for sale.
