Hallowe’en is slowly becoming a major festive and cultural event in Montreal. In what it hopes to be the start of a new annual tradition, Optative Theatrical Laboratories is bringing the spirit of Hallowe’en back by transforming the Plateau, with all its grungy alleyways, streets, bars and parking lots, into a terrifying haunted house where no one is safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows…
The performance runs between 6:30pm and 10pm, with a new group leaving every 30 minutes.
Spectators should call (514) 583-FEST (3378) or e-mail optativelabs@yahoo.ca to reserve a spot, or go to Copacabana (3910 St-Laurent) during show times and look for someone undead.

Cinema Politica presents Being Osama and Shake Hands with the Devil
Being Osama is an intimate exploration of six men with highly diverse backgrounds, interests and personalities, united by their first names and their experiences as Arabs living in Canada in the post-9/11 world.
Shot against the cultural backdrop of Montreal, the film follows the six Osamas from the time of the American invasion of Iraq in March of 2003 to the anti-WTO demonstrations in late July of the same year. Touching on subjects as diverse as Arab names, rock-n-roll, religion, Middle East politics, weddings, funerals and the meaning of identity, Being Osama is a sensitive and thoughtful portrait of six unique individuals and of the new Canada in which they live.
See http://www.diversus.com/prod/being_osama.html for more.
In 100 days - between April 6 and July 16, 1994 - an estimated 800,000 men, women and children were brutally killed in the obscure African country of Rwanda. The victims - many horrifically hacked to death with machetes - were Tutsi, and moderate Hutus who supported them.
One man was tasked by the United Nations with ensuring that peace was maintained in Rwanda - Canadian Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire. But unsupported by U.N. headquarters and its Security Council far away in New York, Dallaire and his handful of soldiers were incapable of stopping the genocide.
