Synopsis:

In the 1960s and 1970s, the polarization of the political situation of the USA was becoming acute with the Vietnam War abroad and civil rights at home being but the most obvious issues. For the youth political movement, the seemingly ineffectual methods of peaceful protest and resistance led to the rise of an idealistic faction that want a more extreme approach that the Establishment could not ignore. This faction, called the Weather Underground, attempted to team up with the Black Panthers to violently confront the US government that started with street riots and escalating to bombing government targets. Thorough archival footage and interviews of the veterans of both sides of this conflict, this film covers the resistance movement’s campaign of selective violence through this period until changing times and disillusionment brought it to an end while the FBI used unethical and illegal methods to hasten it.

Trash Palace – “Toronto’s Classiest Cinema” – is proud to present THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY – a back-to-school touring show of classroom films, cartoons and more from the files of Canada’s most demented film fanatics!

Hosted by Trash Palace programmer Jonathan Culp, TRASH ON WHEELS brings a full evening of lost, forgotten and undiscovered gems from the celluloid dumpsters of our nation to your town. Armed with their trusty 16mm film projector, a trunkload of film reels from the 60s and 70s, cold drinks, and a fully stocked snack bar (including handmade vegan truffles from Boardwalk Chocolates!)

Trash Palace will give you a taste of the madness that we’ve been dishing out at our home base for over two years.

With a constantly changing lineup of titles – partially selected by the audience via the “Trash Palace Applause-O-Meter” – every screening is a whole new ballgame. Will you see angry puppets smacking around their friends? Evil dancing cigarettes? Washed up pop stars ranting about LSD? Christian college students partying with the Virgin Mary? Animated sex ed lessons? Or masked headmasters wielding lawnmowers?

This is no stinkin’ film festival – it’s THE TRASH ON WHEELS FILM PARTY!

TRASH PALACE, named “the 11th best place to watch a film in Toronto” by BlogTO, shows shorts and features every Friday at their secret location. The Toronto Star writes, “It lives up to its seamy potential…the fun is pure,
untainted by cynicism, high expectations or irony.” And the National Post observes, “Trash Palace’s screenings promise the best in films that somebody out there was desperate to get rid of.” Check them out at http://www.trashpalace.ca.

8:00pm – doors open
8:30pm – one-on-one with the author

EXILE Infoshop 256 Bank St. (at Cooper) Second Floor

In the sixth Exile Press release, Sun, Fun & Slavery, Nelson Ross Laguna explores modern day tourism in the americas and its intersections with terrorism. Exposing modern tourism’s calculated and disastrous effects in South and Central America. As tourism, and the production of tourist infrastructure entrench the priviliges of the North, and reinforce the racialization of poverty, we ask: What are our hidden histories of modern slavery? How is the path of western imperialism continuing today? What is to be done? Join us on Friday, August 14th for a discussion with Nelson Ross Laguna, who will share his experiences & perspectives on sun, fun, and slavery.
