We at Cafe Cinema are happy to announce that "Cinéma Québécois, 4 of the best movies of all time 4 you" is our New program! The history of cinema in Quebec started on June 27, 1896 when the French Louis Minier inaugurated the first movie projection in North America in a Montreal theatre room.

Thu 25 Mar 2010, 19:00, by Amir Arash Rafiee, at Bistro Burritoville:3rd floor, 2055 Rue Bishop, Montreal,QC (Map)
آیین باستانی نوروز با پیشینه ای سه هزار ساله را می توان یکی از ماندگارترین آیین های جاری در میان تمدن ها و نژادهای بشری دانست. آیین نوروز از یک سو آنچنان ساده و دلنشین است که به آسانی راه خود را در میان مردمان در گذرگاه تاریخ گشوده است، و از سویی دیگر دارای ریشه، پیوند و بنیان پیچیده ای می باشد که شناخت آن بدون بررسی اندیشه، فرهنگ، بینش و تاریخ گذشتگان ما به دست نمی آید.... more >>
