FILM: On the heels of a well-attended Ottawa screening, filmmaker Greg John is bringing his first independent documentary to town for two evenings. Operation Imani: Ideas for Sustainable African Development follows John onsite in northern Tanzania as he works with the Imani Vocational Training Centre in an effort to establish complete sustainability and self-reliance. Throughout the fifty-five minute film, John explores creative solutions to poverty in Africa with an emphasis on simple but innovative technologies. Proceeds from tonight's screening at the Royal (as well as tomorrow evening's screening at Revue Cinema) will be donated to the school and community that John has worked so closely with since 2005. He'll be in attendance for the screenings, so stick around for a post-film discussion and Q&A session. Royal Theatre (608 College Street), 7:15 p.m., $10 (tickets available at the door or online).
