For those who are living in Montr้al, and I know there are quite a few on 
this list, you might be interested in seeing one or two movies coming from 
Africa. It is certainly something different from what is presented in 
Paramount; trust me on this. Here is an attachment to the website:

All the best,

>CFP: Empire Resurrected (Politics of
>Postcoloniality/McMaster/24 Oct.)
>Location: Ontario, Canada
>Call for Papers Deadline: 2003-05-01
>
>
>THE POLITICS OF POSTCOLONIALITY: CONTEXTS AND CONFLICTS
>To be held at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario,
>Canada) on 24 October 2003
>
>Call for Papers for a Proposed Roundtable Discussion:
>
>Empire Resurrected: (Un)Building Imperial Colonies in
>the 21st Century
>
>One aspect of the development of Post/Colonial Theory
>is that it relies on analyzing past events, on what
>took place but not on what might take place. The
>proposed roundtable discussion will examine the role of
>Post/Colonial Theory in the 21st century, and how the
>possibility of having the Empire Resurrected may
>transform it.
>
>Some of the themes that can be dealt with during this
>session are:
>
>* What are the chances of establishing direct
>colonialism again in the 21st century? Why did old
>empires give up their old colonies in favor of indirect
>colonialism? What are the conditions that would make
>them revert back to direct colonialism?
>
>* How can Postcolonial theory respond/react to such a
>possibility? What would be its role?
>
>* What are the circumstances
>(economical/political/cultural/social) that would
>facilitate the resurrection of direct
>colonialism/empire? What are the circumstance that
>might impede such a dramatic switch?
>
>* What are the (dis)advantages of going from indirect
>to direct colonialism? How would this impact
>globalization and local nationalism?
>
>* How can new colonial schemes be countered? What
>should be the new mode of resistance? What is the role
>of civil disobedience in this case? Is
>terrorism/radical resistance the new mode for
>countering the new empire? What are the viable modes of
>resistance?
>
>Please send a detailed abstract (between 300- 500
>words) with a short bibliography (150-300 words) via
>email to the contact below by May 1, 2003.
>
>Senders of accepted abstracts will be notified after
>May 25, 2003.
>
>Conference papers (11-13 pages) will be circulated
>among notified participants by Tuesday Sept. 30, 2003.
>
>The roundtable discussion will comprise of 4-8
>participants whose abstracts have been accepted and who
>come from different disciplines (Political Science,
>Economics, History, Humanities, Theory,Cultural Studies
>and so on). Conference papers (12-14 pages) will be
>circulated among notified participants by Tuesday Sept.
>30, 2003.  All participants will read the papers in
>advance and prepare helpful feedback/suggestions/
>questions. During the conference, each participant will
>provide a 5-7 minute statement (5 pages) about their
>topic. This will be followed by a larger discussion.
>
>Minutes will be taken and conclusions/final remarks
>will be distributed among participants and among
>interested members of the audience. Hopefully, this
>roundtable discussion will outline the new role of
>Post/Colonialism in the 21st century, and will evolve
>into an edited collection of essays.
