MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts will be hosting it’s first and only Time Traveler Convention Saturday, beginning at 8:00pm EDT on Saturday, May 7, 2005 AD [see link below].

This would be very bad for cinephiles in Montreal as attendance would make them miss the Dan Cross’ Third Year Film Production year end screenings, held on that same Saturday, May 7, 2005 AD, at Concordia University’s Hall Building beginning at 7pm EDT. Given that it takes nearly 6 hours to drive from Montreal to Cambridge, it would be impossible to attend both.

Or would it…? Time travel may present the only viable solution as both the conference and the Year End screenings welcome time travelers (but encourage them to bring some measure of proof).

Failing that, Saturday’s is not the only of the Year End festivities in the film production programme. Friday, May 6th will see Third Year Films from Guylaine Dionne’s class; Sunday, May 8th offers a night of Narrative Fiction Films; culminating in Monday, May 9th 2005 AD, with showcases Experimental and Documentary work from Concordia’s production programme. All shows are in room H-110 of Concordia’s Hall Building at 1455 de Maisonneuve W and screenings begin at 7pm EDT. A $5 donation is suggested.

Not to be outdone, the Animation Students present their 2005 Animation Festival at the same location, Tuesday, May 10th from 7pm to 10pm EDT, although please give generously at the door as they modestly suggest a $2 donation.
