Protest the 7th Anniversary of the U.S. Invasion of Iraq

Mar 13, 2010 7 Comments

This March 19 will mark the 7th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. During these past seven years hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of Americans have needlessly lost their lives – and millions more have had their lives disrupted by physical and psychological injuries, by having their homes demolished, and losing loved ones. And tragically, after the passage of all of this time, there is no real end in sight.

To show our continued opposition to this senseless war, and to remind the powers that be that the people still insist on immediate withdrawal, we are calling on all of you to join us, yet again, in taking to the streets!

On Friday, March 19, the Northland Anti-War Coalition is going to be holding three vigils/pickets at different times of the day, in different parts of Duluth. Our goal is to raise the anti-war banner high to remind that public that the war is still being waged, and show that there is still a vibrant anti-war movement for them to join. Please try to find time in your day to join us for one or more of these vigils.

Lunch Films – March 19

Mar 08, 2010 No Comments

Truly independent films are made from the gut. One day Mike Plante bought a filmmaker friend lunch. Instead of owing him lunch, why not make a film for that same money? They made a napkin contract with rules to follow. Its easy to support a filmmaker, do what you can. A little goes a long way.
Featuring Lunchfilms by Sam Green, Bobcat Goldthwait, Aza Jacobs, Brent Green, Braden King, Naomi Uman and Lee Lynch, Martha Colburn, Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin, Nick McCarthy, Jake Mahaffy, Sarah Soquel Morhaim, James Graham and Tom Barndt. Zinema 2, March 19. One week only.

“Thieves Like Us” is a feature-length action comedy (Jackie Chan style) made for about $3,200. There are two screenings at the Duluth Playground — March 5 and 6 at 7:30 pm.

The screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the director, Jarrod Crooks, and actor/producer Daniel Quaile of St. Paul-based Film Under 5, a production company with the goal of showing “that if you get creative, write a good story, and work your butt off, you can make a feature film for under $5,000.”
