The Montreal Rad School presents: SUMMERHILL a feature drama film based on the long-standing Summerhill radical free school

THURSDAY, MAY 20, 7pm
At the De Sève Cinema
1400 de Maisonneuve Ouest
(metro Guy-Concordia)
FREE! Donations appreciated.
Welcome to all. Wheelchair accessible.
Childcare available on site.
As part of the Festival of Anarchy, the Montreal Rad School presents films highlighting the education and miseducation of children and youth:

On THURSDAY, MAY 20 we present SUMMERHILL (UK, 2008, 100 minutes)

a feature drama film based on the long-standing Summerhill radical free school. From the film synopsis: “Imagine a school where you don’t have to go to lessons, you make all the rules yourself and climbing trees and building boats are definitely part of the curriculum. That school exists. It’s called Summerhill and it has been there for 70 years. Maddy and Ryan attend Summerhill and find it changes them in ways they would never imagine. But then when inspectors decide the school must close, Maddy and Ryan join forces with staff and pupils in a battle that goes to the very heart of the Government. Based on a true story, Summerhill is an enchanting drama that will captivate everyone.”
Presented by the Rad School of Montreal: At the Rad School, children freely explore their interests, play, learn, live and participate in a democratic community. Children are empowered to be self-directed, socially-conscious, lifelong learners. Adults provide mentoring, facilitate activities, learn and play!

Trash on Wheels Film Party

Sunday, May 30, 8:30pm

Casa del Popolo, 4873 St. Laurent, Montreal

Trash Palace - "Toronto’s Classiest Cinema" - is proud to present THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY...on the closing night of the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair!
Hosted by Trash Palace programmer Jonathan Culp, TRASH ON WHEELS brings a full evening of lost, forgotten and undiscovered gems from the celluloid dumpsters of our nation.
Armed with their trusty 16mm film projector and a trunkload of film reels from the 1950s to the 1980s, Canada’s most demented film fanatics bring you classroom films, cartoons, commercials, and oddities galore. You never know what’s going to happen at a Trash On Wheels Film Party - in fact you get to help decide, with the "Trash On Wheels Applause-O-Meter"!
Psychedelic triangle animation, psychotic hand puppets with firearms, junkies at the sock hop, lost 50s sitcom pilots, drunken teens terrorizing a state park, hymns to the glory of the atom, and hacked-up tributes to 70s television news are just some of the treats on deck for our best road show ever, an avalanche of forgotten masterpieces and hilarious old-school propaganda.
This is no stinkin’ film festival - it’s THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY!
TRASH PALACE, named "the 11th best place to watch a film in Toronto" by BlogTO, shows shorts and features every Friday at their secret location. The Toronto Star writes, "It lives up to its seamy potential...the fun is pure, untainted by cynicism, high expectations or irony." And the National Post observes, "Trash Palace’s screenings promise the best in films that somebody out there was desperate to get rid of." Check them out at http://www.trashpalace.ca.
Doors at 8:30pm, films at 9. $5 suggested.
