About University of Winnipeg Cinema Politica
Gallery 1C03 and the University of Winnipeg Students' Association (UWSA) are pleased to join the Cinema Politica network though the formation of "Cinema Politica at The University of Winnipeg". In partnership with other groups on campus, G1C03 and UWSA will host the screening of six socially and politically resonant films during the 2009/2010 academic season.
Engaging with students in ways that encourage informed citizenry through creative and critical thinking is key to G1C03’s mandate, and as a part of the University that is capable of connecting with all others by virtue of the interdisciplinary nature of visual and media art, we hope our participation in Cinema Politica will help us continue to grow our relationships with students, faculty, and staff on campus, as well as citizens of Winnipeg at large.
Let’s watch films about issues that matter to us, then take time to talk about and plan actions we can take to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place for everyone.
G1C03 and UWSA will host Cinema Politica screenings on the third Tuesday of September, October, November, January, February, and March.
All screenings will be open to all audiences – everyone is welcome from across the campus, and across the city. Our screenings will always be free, but donations to offset costs are welcome.
