The Lachine Canal: green oasis and toxic hotspot, all in one package<\/i><\/p>\n

The National Film Board, Maisonneuve and CBC Montreal have teamed up, once again, to bring you Montreal Matters. This year’s theme is the environment<\/a>. I know what you’re thinking — you’ve overdosed on green lately and the last thing you need is yet another eco-themed event. But wait: Montreal Matters has plenty of cool things to offer this month, including a photo contest<\/a> inspired by the work of Edward Burtynsky. <\/p>\n

The NFB has more:<\/p>\n

What impact do Montrealers have on their city? The National Film Board of Canada invites Montrealers to photograph their environment-both the toxic hotspots and the green oases. Show us the wastelands and hidden corners where industry, development or simple human neglect are taking their toll. Or, show us where eco-initiatives and sound green principles reign. From the polluted waterways and the abandoned factories to the rooftop gardens and the dumpster divers, we want to discover how green Montreal really is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The whole thing will culminate in a vernissage and screening of Jennifer Baichwal’s documentary, Manufactured Landscapes<\/a><\/i>, based on Burtynsky’s work in China. Photographers will have the chance to win more than $600 in prizes and to have their photo featured on the NFB website. More details can be found on the contest page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The vernissage and screening of <\/i>Manufactured Landscapes will take place on Wednesday October 24, at 6:00 PM, at Dawson College. 3040 Sherbrooke West<\/a>, room 5B16.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
