Acadia Students' Union

Fundy Film screens THE GATEKEEPERS: Charged with overseeing Israel’s War on Terror, Israel’s head of secret service is present at every decision made. For the first time ever, six former heads agreed to share their insights and reflect publicly on their actions and decisions. This extraordinary documentary offers an exclusive account of the sum of their success and failures. It validates the reasons that each individual and the six, as a group, came to reconsider their hard-line positions and advocate a conciliatory approach toward their enemies based on a two-state solution. An Oscar nominee (2013) this powerhouse cuts deeper than a political thriller and can alter how you see the world.

WED, MAY 22: 8 pm, Al Whittle Theatre, 450 Main St., Wolfville.

Tickets ($8) at the door, 30 min before the screening.

Fundy Film screens NO

 Fundy Film screens NO, “an exceptionally smart political docu-drama with a satirical edge”set in 1988, when Chile’s military dictator Augusto Pinochet, facing international pressure, calls for a referendum on his presidency. Opposition leaders persuade a brash young advertising exec, Rene Saavedra, to spearhead the “No” campaign. With scant resources and under the despot’s constant scrutiny, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious PR plan, opting for images of happiness and joy for a “new Chile,” to win the election and free Chile from oppression.

Paralymic Initiative 

Okay Acadia, we've got another challenge for you! One of our very own, David Bambrick (nicknamed Bambi), is attempting to make it to this summer's paralympcis! Bambi was born with Cerebral Palsy which affects the body mentally, and physically, and was involved with the Acadia SMILE Program for 14 years. In 2010, Bambi became involved in the Paralympics, which follow the Olympics, for athletes with physical difficulties, with his main event being Shot Put, although he continues to train for the Javelin and Discus events, with his primary training occuring in Port Williams through the Launchers Athletics Club. Athletes such as Bambi do not get funding through Athletics Canada, which means that he has to pay all of his expenses, including flights, meals, and accomodations, and does not receive any pay for the time in which he is absent from his job. In 2012 he placed silver in the Shot Put F37 category at Nationals in Calgary, and is currently ranked second in Canada and 16th in the world for this event. His goal is to attend three major events this summer, and he needs your help in raising the funds! If you are able to help with any donations you can give, or simply would just like more information on the sport, please contact Bambi... you can find him at the Gym almost every morning (where he works... so I'm sure most of you know him... cough, if you go to the gym... cough), or via email (listed below). Come on Acadia! We can do it, we can send this amazing athlete, and this incredible person to meet his dream... after all, we can do anything right?

Fundy Film Screens RUST AND BONE

A marine orca trainer loses her legs in a freak accident and develops a relationship of mutual strength and emotional dependence with a brutish Belgian bouncer. "Movies... never come to life on paper, and shouldn't be blamed just because a synopsis can't do them justice." On film, Jacques Audiard's drama "is bruising, beautiful and fierce, a love story written in scar tissue, acted with galvanising intelligence... directed like a drea... His sure sense of rhythm, Juliette Welfling's typically incisive editing and the tremendous leads (Marion Cotillard, Mattias Schoenaerts, Corinne Masiero) give it clout."

Coldplay Live 2012

Hey Acadia! Remember when we got you to vote on what live concert you would like to see at the Al Whittle Theatre? Well Valley events and the ASU listened so Friday March 15th get your tickets to see Cold Play LIve 2012! Presented in partnership with the Acadia Student Union and Magic 94.9. Coldplay Live 2012 is the band's first concert film for nine years. It documents their acclaimed Mylo Xyloto world tour, which has been seen by more than three million people since it began in June 2011. Directed by Paul Dugdale, Live 2012 includes footage from Coldplay's shows at Paris's Stade de France, Montreal's Bell Centre and the band's triumphant Pyramid Stage headline performance at Glastonbury 2011. Coldplay's Chris Martin said of the film: "The Mylo Xyloto tour has been the most fun we've ever had as a band. It's felt very uplifting right from the start; partly becaause we are proud of the music, the LED wristbands, the pyrotechnics, the lasers and all of that stuff, but mainly because of the amazing audiences that we've been playing for. Over the years, our crowd has become more and more a part of the concert itself. They're loud, diverse, full of soul, and make the songs sound much better than we can on our own. We wanted to try to bottle the incredible feeling that they give us, and hence our concert film." Tickets are available for purchase online at ticketpro.ca, by phone at 1-888-311-9090, at the Box of Delights (466 Main Street, Wolfville) and at the door starting at 7:15pm, $14 for adults, $10 for students/seniors.

Mend the Gap

From 1 - 3pm in Michener Lounge (in the SUB) there will be an open forum workshop held in association with StudentsNS and Acadia Poli-Sci Association. In this workshop, Students Nova Scoti will briefly speak to the impetus for the organization's Mend the Gap campaign, focusing on fostering discussions among participants to better understand challenges and identify solutions. Although women comprise 60% of the university student population, they are underrepresented in leadership of student unions such that presently only two of Nova Scotia's eleven union presidents are female. The discussions will consider why this situation exists, how more women leaders could change how student unions work, how student unions can support greater women's involvement, and how student union experience can foster lifelong female leadership.
