Deutschfreunde für Mai: Gesellschaftspielabend, DFB-Pokalfinale, Apocalypse Now Redux

This message is to advise you of the activities I'll be hosting at the German Canadian Cultural Association-Edelweiss Club (108 Niagara Street in James Bay) during the month of May.

German will indeed be spoken, whether you've come to improve or keep up your German, or just to make new friends through the German language.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch!

NB: A note to that you are attending is appreciated--it helps with arranging for refreshments.

Apocalypse Now Redux (1979, 2001)
German with German subtitles

Wednesday, May 12  ••• 6:45 - 10:15 PM (Doors open at 6:15)

Come down to the club to watch German-language TV, films, documentaries and other programming. You'll find us upstairs in the Hubertus Klause pub in front of the big screen.

This month's presentation is the extended, definitive version of Apocalypse Now, Frances Ford Coppola's 1979 epic war film  Unlike other new cuts of the film, Redux is usually considered by fans and critics, as well as director Coppola, as a completely new movie altogether. The movie adds 49 minutes of all-new material, and represents a significant re-edit of the original Apocalypse Now.

NB: Rated R for disturbing violent images, language, sexual content and some drug use. (2001 director's cut)

Before the feature there will be other programming from German TV.

Come to watch, come to socialize!

Fußballfreunde!
DFB Pokal Finale: Bayern - Werder

Saturday, May 15 ••• 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM

German Cup Final: FC Bayern München vs. SV Werder Bremen at Berlin's Olympiastadion recorded earlier in the day from German television (ARD).

Also in the program will be a recap of the 2009/10 Bundesiga season, also from German TV.

Football fans looking forward to the FIFA World Cup can also look forward to enjoying games and football films in June and July at the Edelweiss Club. Please contact me for more details, or visit the Deutschfreunde web site. Fußballfreude pur!
