Montreal's Cinema Politica screens underground docs in universities around the world.

Documentaries chronicle the fast-paced, ever-changing shape of our world today, and the genre has become an increasingly popular one that offers critical perspectives often absent from mainstream media.

Cinema Politica, based in Montreal, is a progressive grassroots cinema distribution network that brings challenging documentaries to audiences - for free. Co-founded by Ezra Winton and Svetla Turnin, the local cultural project, based out of Concordia University, has played a key role in bringing documentaries to university campuses across Canada and globally. Cinema Politica has also forged close relationships to grassroots activist campaigns, marrying documentary film and struggles for social justice.

Because of our celebrity culture and our seemingly insatiable thirst to know about the private lives of public figures, we decided to ask Mr. Galella about his career and the paparazzi in general.

 

Muhammad Ali was perhaps the first person to achieve mainstream fame in the early days of the broadcasting age.

And unlike many of today’s stars who bask in the spotlight like they’re sun tanning – Paris Hilton and Terrell Owens come to mind – Ali was a celebrity worth celebrating. Politically astute, poetically inclined, and spiritually enlightened, Ali used his pulpit of fame to scintillating effect.
