Cuban Film Festival + Helen Caldicott’s NEW NUCLEAR DANGER: June 25-30
Brunswick Theatre: This week we are featuring the Free The Cuban Five Film Festival, among other titles. Please check out the below listings and consider attending. Please note – the hosts for the festival changed mid-month, meaning that it was initially
promoted as free for members, but the change in the host has created some confusion. Members are still very much encouraged to attend, but will be asked for a small donation at the door of $2 – $5. This is not mandatory, but would be
much appreciated.
