Location
M.U.C.K. Film Festival
Each month the M.U.C.K. Film Festival Series offers a day of hard-hitting films covering a wide range of topics, designed to present audiences with a cinematic counter-culture that gives us a choice between a comfortable ignorance or an increasingly painful reality, challenging us to “MUCK UP” our beliefs about our everyday world.
The July films share a common theme: government secrecy and policy, starting with a film every Canadian should see. YOU, ME AND THE SPP: TRADING DEMOCRACY FOR CORPORATE RULE, a film that sheds light on the little known security prosperity partnership and how it could affect the lives and rights of all Canadians. Then from the acclaimed director of American Movie and The Yes Men, comes Chris Smith’s latest film COLLAPSE. This portrait of radical thinker Michael Ruppert explores his apocalyptic vision of the future, spanning the crises in economics, energy, environment and more. The day’s lineup ends with SECRECY, an in depth look at how secrecy works in the government and debates whether secrecy really protects us or actually harms us. SECRECY will be followed by a Q&A session with Human Rights Lawyer Nicole Chrolavicius, who will cover her experiences with the Canadian Government and their practices in preventing the free flow of information.
