Remember...1st Rule of Film Club: Tell Everyone About Film Club!
Thirty-seven years and still going strong, THIS Magazine is one of Canada's
longest-publishing alternative journals. Founded by a gang of school activists in 1966,
and originally called This Magazine Is About Schools, the modern-day THIS focuses on
Canadian politics, literature and culture but, in keeping with its radical roots, never
pulls punches. Subversive, edgy and smart, THIS is the real alternative to that. Visit
THIS Magazine's new-and-improved website at http://www.thismagazine.ca!
Please forward widely.
