SUMMARY:The Color of Pomegranates (Armenia\, 1969)
DESCRIPTION:Armenian-Georgian director Sergei Parajanov directed this visually striking\, non-narrative biography of Sayat Nova\, the 18th-century Armenian romantic poet known as the “King of Songs”. Rather than simply recount the details of the poet’s life\, Parajanov attempts to distil Sayat Nova to his poetic essence through a series of surrealist montages bearing emotional truths steeped in the culture and iconography of the Armenian people within which Sayat Nova flourished.

SUMMARY:Black Lives Matter Spotlight at Vancouver Queer Film Festival

SUMMARY:Burnaby: Speak Up About Kinder Morgan's Pipeline & Tanker Plan
DESCRIPTION:For six long years you’ve been waiting to have your say on the Kinder Morgan pipeline – and now is your chance! A federal panel is meeting with communities along the pipeline and tanker route to gauge public opposition to the project. \nIt’s time to come speak up for the coast\, for the climate and for Indigenous rights! Will you join us to tell this panel to put this pipeline to bed? \nAugust 11: Burnaby BC\nPublic Town Hall 4:30pm-8:00pm\nHilton Vancouver Metrotown\, Crystal Ballroom\n6083 McKay Avenue\, Burnaby\, BC\nRSVP: http://we.leadnow.ca/forthecoast_burnaby/ \nBurnaby schedule:\n\nAugust 9: Burnaby BC\, Hilton Vancouver Metrotown\, Crystal Ballroom\n1000-1200: Environmental NGO roundtable\n1300-1430: Local government roundtable #1\n1500-1630: Local government roundtable #2 \nAugust 10: Burnaby BC\, Hilton Vancouver Metrotown\, Crystal Ballroom\n0930-1030: Education roundtable\n1100-1200: NGO roundtable\n1330-1700: Public town hall \nAugust 11: Burnaby BC\, Hilton Vancouver Metrotown\, Crystal Ballroom\n1330-1500: Economic round-table\n1630-2000: Public town hall \nSee complete listings at www.forthecoast.ca/public-meetings \nBackground: \nTo recap\, a Texas pipeline company wants to ship Alberta bitumen to refineries in China using Burrard Inlet to load more than 400 oil tankers a year. This proposal is nearly double the size of Enbridge’s recently rejected Northern Gateway. \nThe entire Lower Mainland and South Island would be affected by an oil tanker spill\, plus everyone who relies on salmon from the Fraser watershed — or the multi-billion dollar tourism industry on the south coast. And that’s before counting the climate impacts. \n100% of Lower Mainland coastal nations oppose this pipeline and tnaker project. 16 First Nations in BC are firmly opposed. Reconciliation and sovereignty mean listening to First Nations when they say no. \nA new federal panel has been appointed to hear from the public along the pipeline route. This process is separate from the National Energy Board\, which already recommended approval of the project. The Trudeau government will weigh both reports before delivering a final decision in December. \nHere are the meeting dates: \nAugust 9\, 10\, 11: Burnaby BC\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/271163149913783/ \nAugust 16\, 17\, 18: Vancouver BC\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1735292126759599/ \nAugust 19: North Vancouver BC\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1362370810442976/ \nAugust 23\, 24: Victoria BC\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1068090206605321/ \nThe timing sucks with lots of people away for summer holidays\, but this is your last opportunity to speak publicly about the project. If you can make it to one of these dates (whether as a speaker or just to support your neighbours)\, please sign up here.

SUMMARY:Making Space: A Community Panel and Discussion on Social Spaces in Vancouver // AUG 3 + 4!
DESCRIPTION:We acknowledge that this event is happening on the occupied\, traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples – specifically the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations. \nFor many communities that have been marginalized\, gathering can be a source and site of healing\, of community growth\, of community bridging and building. In some ways\, especially in cities like Vancouver marked by histories of colonial histories on unceded territories and in a culture of isolation\, creating a space to gather can be seen as a revolutionary act. \nWith the closure of Heartwood\, along with so many other community spaces under threat of reno- and demovictions\, lack of funding\, our community spaces and centres for community and movement building are depleting. What can we do together to create thriving communities? How can we make space? \nJoin us for a TWO-PART event showcasing and lifting voices of East Vancouver community members creating and facilitating community spaces in Vancouver. \n– – – \nWednesday\, August 3rd\, 7pm – 9pm \n// Making Space: A Community Panel on Social Spaces in Vancouver //\nAt this panel\, we showcase local organizers and folks leading community spaces in East Vancouver. Posing questions on Vancouver’s climate of unaffordability and gentrification\, isolation\, rising movements\, the importance of physical space in solidarity building and more! \nModerator:\nMelissa Fong | Centre A \nPanelists:\nAnthony Meza Wilson | Gallery Gachet\nAna Rose Carrico | Red Gate Arts Society\nLindsay Mestatew | Killjoy\nIngrid Méndez | Sanctuary Health & Watari Counselling & Support Services\nMelanie Matining | Heartwood \nWe’re happy to announce that we’ve secured ASL interpretation for August 3rd! The interpreter is Melanie Valencia. \nThis event is by donation with all proceeds going towards Killjoy\, whose focus is to create events for black\, indigenous\, mixed race\, people of colour who are also queer\, trans\, two-spirit\, intersex people. \n– – – \nThursday\, August 4th\, 7pm – 9pm \n// MAKING SPACE: Community Discussion on Collaboration & Creation //\nQuestions that arise from the Making Space panel on August 3rd will be brought forth to a world cafe style community discussion to tackle the queries and barriers\, to share resources\, and finally\, to collaborate and create.

SUMMARY:Two-Spirit\, Queers\, Trans\, Intersex and Bi People of Colour Pride March
DESCRIPTION:With recent events that have affected us with violence and suspicion against our communities which has been the case in the colonial history of these occupied territories of the Coast Salish peoples including the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tsleil Waututh\, we will march together in solidarity with Two-Spirit\, Trans\, Intersex\, Bisexual and Queers of Colour in Pride on the day Vancouver Pride used to be\, the day after the Powell Street Festival. \nWith these recent events\, we have seen the rise of blackphobia and Islamophobia with our Two-Spirit\, Trans\, Intersex and bisexual people of colour communities. We will gather at Victory Square Park on Monday August 1st at 1 pm\, then march down Pender St. through Chinatown toMain Street and then to Crab Park where we will have a healing circle. We ask our allies to help us in solidarity with marshalling and security. \nRecently City Council invited the different Queer Organizations to meet to talk about how to respond to Orlando. But the Queer of Colour organizations were not invited. Then the Mayor met with Black Lives Matter\, but again the rest of the Queers of Colour organizations were not invited. Queer Muslims and Latinx Queers were profoundly affected by the events of Orlando\, yet we have been forgotten in this process.We met with Pride organizers after the Vigil they had organized at the Vancouver Art Gallery and suggested that we need to have some sort of an inclusive healing ceremony at Pride. But Pride too has forgotten us in this process. \nNow Vancouver Police Department has announced that we will be participating in the Pride Parade. We also want to announce that many of us will not be participating in the Pride Parade in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. We will be participating in the Trans\, Gender Queer and Two-Spirit March on Friday July 29th\, the Dyke March on Saturday July 30th and we will have our own Two-Spirit\, Queers\, Trans\, Intersex and Bisexual People of Colour on Monday August 1st.

SUMMARY:Anniversary of Mount Polley Mining Disaster
DESCRIPTION:MARKING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOUNT POLLEY MINING DISASTER \nGet on the bus and show your support for Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe Camp! \nSecwepemc peoples are calling on all to come and stand with us in resistance against mining and the provincial government’s decision to re-issue a full permit for Mount Polley. Indigenous Peoples are at the forefront of the impacts and consequences of climate change. The root of climate change in Canada is the continuing genocide of Indigenous Peoples\, that is\, the continuation of destructive and dangerous resource extractive projects approved by the Provincial and Federal governments that have no legal jurisdiction to do so. We find ourselves in a state of urgency and crisis. The continuing violations of the rights and responsibilities of Indigenous Peoples by industries not appropriately regulated\, regularly causing environmental damage and destruction\, and most importantly\, that do not have consent by Indigenous Peoples will not be tolerated! \n*********************************\nPublic event in Vancouver\n********************************* \nMonday August 1\, 2016\nDinner at 5:30 pm\, Event at 6 pm\n1803 East 1st Ave (just east of Commercial Drive)\nunceded xʷməθkwəy̓əm\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh\, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ territories\, Vancouver \nCome learn about resistance to Imperial Metals Mount Polley mine and broader mining justice struggles WITH Cecilia Point (Musqueam)\, Kanahus Manuel (Secwepemc Women’s Warrior Society)\, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip (UBCIC)\, Sacheen and Crow (Ancestral Pride)\, Sam Nock (Cree-Metis poet)\, Ricardo Segovia (hydrogeologist)\, Harjap Grewal (Council of Canadians) and Rita Wong (updates on Site C and Unist’ot’en Camp). \nAccessibility info: Free event.

This is a collective effort and we are all responsible for keeping the land clean. \n*********************************\nAbout Mount Polley Disaster\n********************************* \nTwo years ago\, on August 4th 2014\, the largest environmental disaster in British Columbia’s history unfolded. The dam to Imperial Metal’s Mount Polley mine’s tailings pond broke and unleashed 2.5 billion gallons of contaminated water and 4.5 million cubic metres of metals laden silt into Hazeltine Creek\, Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake on the way to the Fraser River Watershed. \nThe Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe Camp was setup two years ago as a Secwepemc encampment at the entrance of the Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley Mine. The anniversary will bring together Indigenous peoples and supporters to the Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe Camp to light a sacred fire and strengthen our resolve to stop destructive mining and other extractive projects taking place on Indigenous lands without free prior and informed consent.\n*****************************************\nCon motivo del aniversario de la catástrofe minera de Mount Polley los invitamos a mostrar su apoyo a la población Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe y acompañarnos en el autobús que viajará de la ciudad de Vancouver a territorio Secwepemc. Se trata de un campamento de solidaridad y resistencia.\nLos pueblos Secwepemc hacen un llamado a todos a venir y estar con nosotros en la resistencia contra la minería y la decisión del gobierno provincial de volver a emitir un permiso completo para Mount Polley. Las naciones indígenas están a la vanguardia de los impactos y consecuencias del cambio climático\, saben que la raíz de éste en Canadá es el continuo genocidio de los pueblos indígenas\, es decir\, la continuación de los proyectos de extracción de recursos destructivos y peligrosos aprobada por la provincia y los gobiernos federales que no tienen jurisdicción legal para hacerlo. Nos encontramos en una situación de urgencia y de crisis. Las violaciones continuas de los derechos y responsabilidades de los pueblos indígenas por las industrias no reguladas adecuadamente\, siguen causando daños y destrucción al medio ambiente\, y lo más importante: ¡no cuentan con el consentimiento de los pueblos indígenas y no serán toleradas! \n*********************************\nPublic event in Vancouver\n*********************************\nLunes 1o de agosto de 2016 a las 6pm en 1803 de East 1st Ave (al este de la unidad comercial)\nxʷməθkwəy̓əm\, Skwxwú7mesh y Səl̓ílwəta\, territorios no cedidos\, Vancouver.\nVengan a aprender acerca de la resistencia ante la minera Imperial Metales-Mount Polley\, y las luchas de justicia anti-minera con Kanahus Manuel (Sociedad de Mujeres Guerreras de Secwepemc)\, Sacheen y Cuervo (Ancestral Pride)\, Sam Nock (Cree-Metis poeta)\, Ricardo Segovia (hidrogeólogo)\, Harpaj Grewal (Consejo de Canadienses) y Rita Wong (actualizaciones en el sitio C y Unist ‘ot’en Camp).\nAccesibilidad: Evento gratuito. Guardería en el lugar. La cena se sirve. La entrada de la cocina está adaptada para personas con silla de ruedas\, a pie de calle. El abertura del baño es de 86 cm\, y la puerta de uso directo del baño es de 61 cm. \nSi pueden por favor traigan al evento alimentos no perecederos para el campamento: arroz salvaje\, patatas\, pan\, maíz\, avena\, etc.\n*********************************\nCaravana al Campamento\n********************************* \nEstamos organizando un autobús a Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe Camp (en los alrededores de BC) para todos los días de reunión y el fuego sagrado el 4 de agosto.\nDejando Vancouver 5 de agosto Ago 3 retorno de la madrugada (hora y lugar exactos de próxima publicación).\nRESERVE SU ESPACIO EN EL BUS:\nhttp://mountpolley.bpt.me/ \n* El autobús es libre para personas de bajos ingresos e indígenas pero es necesario registrarse para asegurar lugar.

La presa de relaves de la mina Monte Polley- Imperial Metals se rompió y liberó 2.5 millones de galones de agua contaminada y 4.5 millones de metros cúbicos de sedimentos cargados de metales en Hazeltine Creek\, Polley Lake y Quesnel Lake\, en el camino hacia la cuenca del río Fraser. \nEl campamento Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe fue instalado hace dos años como una albergada Secwepemc a la entrada de la mina Mount Polley-Imperial Metals. El aniversario reunirá a los pueblos indígenas y aliados del campamento Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe a fin de encender un fuego sagrado y fortalecer nuestra determinación para detener otros proyectos extractivos que tienen lugar en tierras indígenas sin el consentimiento previo\, libre e informado sobre la minería destructiva.
