Every year CINSSU likes to end our seasonal screenings’ list by presenting our audience with a film we all agree that was spectacular, but didn’t receive the credit it earned. This film typically garnered outstanding reviews from critics, however mainstream audiences nor Hollywood noitced the cinematic beauty presented before them. So CINSSU likes to return the favour to those forgottten masterpieces that fall under the radar each year and bring them back to life one more time on the cinematic screen.

Revolution is a film about changing the world. The
true-life adventure of Rob Stewart, this follow-up
to his acclaimed Sharkwater documentary continues
his remarkable journey; one that will take him
through 15 countries over four years, and where
he’ll discover that it’s not only sharks that are
in grave danger – it’s humanity itself.

In an effort to uncover the truth and find the secret
to saving the ecosystems we depend on for survival,
Stewart embarks on a life-threatening adventure. From
the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea and deforestation
in Madagascar to the largest and most destructive
environmental project in history in Alberta, Canada, he
reveals that all of our actions are interconnected and
that environmental degradation,species loss, ocean
acidification, pollution and food/water scarcity are
reducing the Earth’s ability to house humans. How did
this happen, and what will it take to change the course
that humanity has set itself on?

Travelling the globe to meet with the dedicated
individuals and organizations working on a solution,
Stewart finds encouragement and hope, pointing to the
revolutions of the past and how we’ve evolved and changed our course in times of necessity. If people were informed about what was really going on, they would fight for their future – and the future of other generations. From the evolution of our species to the revolution to save it, Stewart and his team take viewers on a groundbreaking mission into the greatest war ever waged.Startling, beautiful, and provocative, Revolution inspires audiences from across the globe to start a revolution and change the world forever.

So rather than push for our trivia night this Thursday March 14th at 4pm, we’ve decided to give away doughnuts instead.

We know everyone’s stressed with essays, so stop by the Innis Cafe on Thursday from 4-6PM for a doughnut break!

(Timbits will not be served though).

ZUBIN + LINDSAY ARE HERE TO BRING YOU A NIGHT YOU’LL NEVER FORGET!

INDIE HORROR NIGHT AT INNIS!

Do you like blood? Guts? Suspense? Melting faces? Mind-altering substances? Lolz? If so, then mark this date down because this is the event for you!

Up first we got a filthy/hilarious/gross opener with ASTRON-6′s BIO-COP! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll puke and probably be like, “what the fuck you guys?” It’s a great way to start up the evening.

Then we got a killer feature from the twisted minds of two weirdos, aptly named AARON and JUSTIN! It won 4 awards at Toronto After Dark this past year, including BEST SCREENPLAY and MOST INNOVATIVE FILM.

Best of all? Steve Kostanski will be here to introduce BIO-COP, and Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson will have their own unique intro as well! If you missed out on TAD2012, then you gotta see these intros. This is going to be one heck of memorable evening.

$5 gets you everythang!

With so many screenings, film festivals, panel discussions, how can we fit in anything else during this busy time of year? Well CINSSU continues to give back to our film community in as many ways as we can.

So on March 18th we will be hosting a Sneak Preview of the re-make of EVIL DEAD (2013), followed by a Q&A with the director of the film, himself: Fede Alvarez.

This EVIL DEAD remake was written by Diablo Cody and Fede Alvarez. The film is set to release in April, however, Sony Pictures has been so kind to work with us to present this Sneak Preview to everyone. So you should definitely stop the essay-writing and check out this NEW EVIL DEAD, BEFORE IT COMES OUT, WITH THE DIRECTOR.

The event is FREE (of course!) given you provide us with a ticket, which can be picked up at CINSSU’s office at 2 Sussex Road in Innis College. Since it’s free though and we’re giving away tickets to anyone who asks for one, this means that admission is not guaranteed. So please try and show up early! We only have 200 seats in Innis Town Hall so it’s first come, first serve.

There will be a rush line starting at 7PM, in case you don’t manage to get a ticket. We’ll give out some free posters if you line up!
