Friday, November 9th at 1PM, Media City Film Festival sheds light on Windsor-Detroit’s incredible history of abolitionist activity, welcoming New York filmmaker Ephraim Asili back to Windsor directly from engagements at the Smithsonian Museum’s African American Film Festival, and Washington’s National Gallery of Art.
Screening at one of Windsor’s most historically significant landmarks, Sandwich First Baptist Church, HOME COMING: THE DIASPORA SUITE ON THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD features Asili’s internationally acclaimed, made in Windsor-Detroit film, Fluid Frontiers. Local cast members including, Leslie McCurdy, Irene Moore Davis, Kim Duane Elliott, Marsha Battle Philpot and others feature prominently in the film.
Recently described by the Brooklyn Museum of Art as “A revelatory Cycle of five short films collapsing time and space to reveal hidden resonances…The Diaspora Suite is by turns playful, surprising, moving, and a radical interrogation of colonialism’s legacy in its construction of a one-of-a-kind, global vision of pan-African identity.”
Sandwich First Baptist Church is recognized as the first black church in Canada. Built in 1851 by fugitive slaves with clay gathered from the Detroit riverbanks, this internationally significant terminal on the Underground Railroad helped protect freedom seekers escaping the shackles of slavery.
Many of the cast members from Windsor are direct descendants of original freedom seekers, representing an invaluable living history. The cast will join Ephraim Asili in a public discussion, introduced and moderated by Greg de Cuir Jr. (Belgrade, Serbia), following the screening.
Fluid Frontiers was made by Asili as a filmmaker-in-residence for Media City’s Mobile Frames program. It has since played numerous reputable international festivals since its World Premiere in Windsor last year, including TIFF, New York Film Festival. This screening and context represents a once in a lifetime chance to see this important set of films, with the director and cast in-person at Windsor’s hidden historical gem.
Additional guests will be present from around the world to share in this unique experience; limited seating available. This event is Pay What You Like. All donations go to the church for the building’s preservation.

Hey Students: Are you interested in geng together and doing something nice for someone in your community?
The Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland is providing a limited number of grants in the amounts of $50 (max) to help you do an Act of Kindness.
What is an act of kindness? It is an acon that you do to help another person; to brighten their day and make them feel appreciated. You do this act of kindness without expecting anything back for yourself other than the good feeling that comes from knowing that you did something kind. This makes you ONE OF THE KIND people in the world, and we all need kind people.
Here's how you can get the money:
Step 1. Get together with some other students (3 or more) or your class and decide what act of kindness you would like to do. It could be for a teacher at your school or the bus driver or the school crossing guard. You could do something for a local community organization near you, or a seniors' residence. There are many, many possibilities.
Step 2. Talk to a teacher or school leader about what you would like to do. You need to have an adult sign the application and agree to supervise and help.
Step 3. Fill out the grant application and send it in to the email address on the application. You will be emailed if you are successful.
Step 4. Complete your act of kindness and send us a short report using our template about what you did. You need to provide a short report about how you spent the money and send us a video (no more than 3 minutes) or a picture poster that shows us:
You and your group will also be recognized with a “One of the Kind” certificate presented to you at a school assembly or celebration.
Don't wait too long. Deadline for sending in grant applications is Friday, December 14, 2018. Deadline for completion of project and report is Friday, April 12, 2019. Teachers: The “One of the Kind” (OK) program is a community pilot project supported by the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland. It is designed to educate and engage youth about the power of acts of kindness and how kind acts and gestures, no matter how small, can positively impact the giver, the receiver, and the community.

La filiale 003 « Quebec North-Shore » de Baie-Comeau vous invite au Parc des Pionniers dimanche 11 novembre, à 11 h, à la Cérémonie du Jour du Souvenir. Un goûter suivra au Pavillon du Lac. Cette année, nous rendrons hommage au courage et à la bravoure des 40 légionnaires baie-comois qui ont servi dans ce conflit. C’est à cette heure que les cloches de l’Église Ste-Amélie sonneront pour rappeler le moment en 1918 où, partout en Europe, les cloches sonnèrent, alors que quatre années de guerre prenaient fin.
