Red Bones Movie night

This has unfortunately moved from Saturday night to tuesday night (as in tonight), ruling me out, but check this out if you can:

Movie Night at Redbones - 21 Braemar Avenue
This Tuesday 23rd October, 2007

Presents:
MOOLAADE
In a small village in Burkino Faso(Africa), four young girls flee the ritual ceremony for their circumcision and seek protection from a woman who gives them "Moolaade" which is a special magical defence that cannot be broken unless it is revoked by the person who first casts it. This creates a tense stand-off between the traditionalists and the modern thinkers in the village. This film won the "Un Certain Regard Award" and "Prize of the Ecumenical Jury - Special Mention" at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. The writer-director Ousmane Sembene is widely regarded as the father of African cinema and the first film director from an African country to achieve international recognition.
(Directed by Ousmane Sembene; 120 minutes, in Bambara and French with English subtitles, 2004)
Contribution: $250
Showtime: 8pm
We have chairs but you can bring cushions for them or carry a blanket if you want to lay on the grass. Hang out and listen to the music in the courtyard
afterwards.
