Truth Merchants
ESPA North of Nowhere Expo
Canada 1998, 45 min, Dir: Kevin McMahon

No major corporation or government body is without them. PR flaks are the sultans of spin, and in a media-driven age they exert enormous power. Part propaganda, part theatre and part advertising, they have become simultaneously required and reviled players in the shaping of public opinion. Featuring media critic Rick Salutin, news anchor Peter Mansbridge, and other Canadian print and TV journalists, Truth Merchants is an interesting window into questionable Canadian media practices. The Edmonton Small Press Association (ESPA) presents their second festival of independent, underground, and under-represented media with a socially-conscious mandate. Admission to all North of Nowhere Expo screenings is by donation ($8 suggested), and free to Expo Passport Holders, and low-income. For more info about the 2005 North of Nowhere Expo please see www.edmontonsmallpress.org.

Special Events!
Please Note:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
