The Vancouver Alpen Club

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:29:14 -0500

The Vancouver Alpen Club was founded in 1935 by a group of immigrants from the Alpine Regions of Germany and Austria. They initially came together to enjoy their traditional Schuhplattler folk dancing and through it to uphold and foster their rich diversity of German Culture, customs and language. Although the Club didn't have an official home, the members registered it as a Non-Profit Organization and joined the Canadian Folk Society. This act enabled the Vancouver Alpen Club to be the only German club to remain open in North America during World War II.*

Movie Night: Run Lola Run / Lola Rennt

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 21:54:37 -0500

Run Lola Run (In English)

When we meet Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), a small time courier for big time gangster, he is working a standard pick-up/drop-off, and everything is going just fine. When the job is done, all he has to do is wait for his girlfriend, the orange-haired punk girl Lola (Franka Potente), to pick him up. But today is unlike any other day. Due to an incident while she was buying a pack of cigarettes, Lola is late, and Lola is never late. One stroke of bad luck leads to another, and by the time Manni calls Lola, he is at a pay phone with a big, big, big problem. His unforgiving boss will meet him in twenty minutes to pick up 100,000 marks; money that Manni, suddenly, does not have.
