Film Screening in RCC204 – Sept 1st

Events
Aug 252011
Hi y’all:
Just to let you know that I have arranged a screening of one of Ryerson’s film shorts being screened at TIFF.Festival’11 here at Ryerson before the festival begins.  The film We Ate The Children Last is directed by Andrew Cividino and produced by Jonathan Hodgson – as you know, both Ryerson grads.  Since most of the crew are also Ryerson grads, they asked if we could set up a screening before the festival begins.
You are welcome to attend.  The screening will be in RCC204 on Thursday Sept 1st at 8 p.m.   The film is only 13 minutes in length – but it should be interesting.  It is based on a short story by Yann Martel …. and also includes some great footage from the G20 Riots.
If there are any staff or students around that you think would be interested, they are welcome as well.
Do let me know if you plan on attending.
thanks
Shirley
