Interested in ecology? Grand Potager, CAUS, and Cine-Verdun have got an event - or two - for you!
This Saturday, February 15th and again in two weeks’ time, they will present film screenings -mostly documentaries - in the Verdun Greenhouse. Yes, it’s February, and yes, it will be chilly in there. Viewers are advised to dress warmly and bring blankets!
This Saturday it’s two documentaries from France, Semences du Futur (6PM), and Chemins de Travers (7:30PM), to be shown in the original French.
On Saturday February 29th, they will show the British documentary In Our Hands: Seeding Change, by Jo Barker, at 6 PM, in the original English with French subtitles. IMDB describes it as “The inspiring story behind the blood, sweat and tears of the British farmers seizing the Brexit moment to outgrow the industrial food system.”
At 7:30 on the same night, a Quebecois fiction film called Les Fleurs Oubliees, will screen in the original French. It is directed by Andre Forcier and stars Roy Dupuis.
The Verdun Greenhouse is at 7000 LaSalle Boulevard.
