Heads up, Vancouverites \u2014 I have just received word that Ousmane Sembene\u2019s Moolaad\u00e9<\/a><\/i> will open at the Park Theatre<\/a> on August 19.

And FWIW, now that it\u2019s getting a proper theatrical release in Vancouver, it\u2019s a contender for my end-of-the-year top-ten list<\/a>, which ordinarily doesn\u2019t include films that screen just once or twice at festivals and the like.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
