Every Sunday at 7pm in the new film/photo building at Hampshire College I show an installment of the Contemporary French Cinema series. Sadly, next Sunday is the last one, but it's going to be good! The film is a strange comedy by Gustave de Kervern and Benoît Delépine. I was introduced to these two by a cinema professor in Paris. He encouraged me to go see their newest film, "Louise-Michel." But he cautioned that it was "un peu trash." The same goes for their first film, "Aaltra."

Co-Op Valley! Event at Food For Thought
Title of Event: Co-op Valley! The Worker Co-operative Movement in the Connecticut River Valley
When: Tuesday, November 3, 2009 7:00 PM
Location: Food for Thought Books Collective
Description:
A Book Presentation & Fundraiser
with old-time music by Sweaty Buttons
Are you looking for a dose of economic hopefulness and good news? Come learn about the growing critical mass of worker co-ops in our region and globally, as described in the forthcoming book, CO-OP VALLEY! THE WORKER CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY.
Written by a five-person team of researchers and members of the Valley Alliance of Worker Coops (VAWC) (the authors are Janelle Cornwell, Julie Graham, Michael Johnson, Adam Trott, and Karen Werner), CO-OP VALLEY! describes the past and present of the worker co-operative movement while spotlighting existing Valley Co-ops. The book also includes steps for building a fair trade cooperative economy, drawing on the inspiring examples of Mondragon, Quebec, and the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.
To raise funds for the book's production, we will be selling advance purchases at the event. CO-OP VALLEY! is an engaging read, a strategic tool, and a movement builder -integral to VAWC's mission, which is to serve as a development organization for worker co-operatives in our region, growing new co-ops, providing technical know-how, and helping to build a vibrant democratic and co-operative economy.
Sweaty Buttons, an old-time band made up of members of the local worker co-op Pedal People, will play its unique blend of melancholy and toe-tapping tunes.
