Divergence
Movie Night presents "Changing Our Minds"
Wednesday, December
15 · 8:00pm - 10:00pm
During the 1950’s, Dr. Evelyn Hooker
undertook ground breaking research
that led to a radical discovery: homosexuals were not,
by definition, “sick.” Dr. Hooker’s findings sent shock
waves through the psychiatric community and culminated
in a major victory for gay rights -- in 1974 the weight
of her studies, along with gay activism, forced the
American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality
from its official manual of mental disorders.
75 minutes
Free admission,
$5-$10 suggested donation.

Movie Night presents
"Queer China, ‘Comrade’ China (Zhi Tong Zhi)"
Wednesday, October 20 · 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Free admission, $5-$10 suggested donation.
A comprehensive historical account of the queer movement in modern
China. Queer China, 'Comrade' China documents the changes and
developments in LGBT culture that have taken place in China over the
last 80 years.
Unlike any before, this film explores the historical milestones and
ongoing advocacy efforts of the Chinese LGBT commu...nity.
The film examines how shifting attitudes in law, media and education
have transformed queer culture from being an unspeakable taboo to an
accepted social identity.
The film culminates with the submission of Dr. Li Yinhe’s
Same-sex Marriage Bill to the Legislative Affairs Commission of
the National People’s Congress in 2003, a major landmark event in
the ongoing struggle for acceptance of queer identity in China.
Please note: Shanghai will be having their normal full dinner
service, so feel free to arrive earlier for a fabulous meal and eat
during the movie.

secret trial five is a
punk band that write songs about zombies eating world leaders,
freeing prisoners in guantanamo bay, and more. they started out in
2006 in vancouver (unceded coast salish territory), and when lead
singer sena moved to toronto in 2008, she connected with
toronto-based musicians sidra and manal, who ended up joining the
band. the band's name comes from the name given to five Muslim men,
who in 2006, were detained using 'secret evidence', spending most of
their time in solitary confinement in canadian prisons without
charge, but since all have been released (under strict bail
conditions/house arrest). the band has been identified as being part
of a genre called "taqwacore", but they now actively reject that
association, as it not only limits them, but also, taqwacore has
caused a racist, islamophobic and sensationalist media frenzy.

New
Year Comedy Extravaganza
Get ready to laugh your rice sacks off! (Oriental Joke)
Friday, January 15, 2010 at 8:00pm - 1:00am (KARAOKE to follow)
$3 at the door! Bring your friends and family!
Show starts at 9, seating starts at 8.
Incidentally we've been voted as the number one place to get a laugh
in Ottawa. Coincidentally, Shanghai also serves classy Asian cuisine
at ridiculously justifiable overpriced prices. In conjunction with
the classy, scrumptious food, we've got a comedy night that's pretty
damn funny so far.
Throw two and two together and what we
got? We get tons of people choking on wantons and rice chunks a
plenty whilst listening to some cool comics strut their stuff.
Jesus! Sounds like there's so many things to do! Is there anything
else you should know?
Stay for Karaoke after the darn comedy
show! We want the whole o' Chinatown to know that we got talent in
our quaint little city of Ottawa!
Also, here's our
star studded lineup with professional/amateur comedians.
Vei
Chong, Joel West, Matt Gallant, Emily Oh, Trevor Thompson, Anto
Chan, Special Guest - China Doll
For more information and
directions, call Vei at (613) 265 0928 or the Shanghai at (613)
233-4001.
