MONTREAL/August 17, 2005—
Visible Evidence, an international, interdisciplinary conference now in its 12th year, will take place at Concordia University between the 21th and 25th of August. At this occasion, you're invited to the Film Screening of the documentary War and Peace on Sunday, August 21 at 8 p.m. in H-110 (1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd West).
War and Peace has been realized by the controversial documentary filmmaker Anand Patwardhan. It is an epic journey of peace activism in the face of religious fanaticism, militarism and war. Patwardhan will also give the Keynote Address, entitled Censorship: Within and Without, on August 22 at 8 p.m. in H-110, 1455 Blvd de Maisonneuve O. (presented with simultaneous translation/traduction simultanÈe.)
Visible Evidence will also showcase recent Quebecois and Canadian documentaries : Chris Landreth's Ryan, BenoÓt Pilon's Roger Toupin, …picier variÈtÈ, Korbett Matthews' Devouring Buddha, Nettie Wild's Fix: The Story of an Addicted City, Hubert Davis' Hardwood and Ali Kazimi's Continuous Journey.
Visible Evidence is a conference on the role of film, video and other media as witness and voice of social reality. It is based primarily on a "manageable" single-stream program, in which presentation panels are followed by dialogue between all conference participants. This year also features workshops bringing together practitioners and scholars. The complete conference schedule can be found at http://www.visibleevidence.org.
