MANCHESTER FILM COOPERATIVE PRESENT REVOLUTION OS
As part of Co-operatives Fortnight, we're screening Revolution OS - a film about co-operation and the open source and online collaborative movement, which seems to be transforming ownership and control.
Revolution OS is a great documentary about the open source software revolution, featuring many of the personalities involved - Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce Perens, and Eric Raymond.
Afterwards we'll be having speakers, so come along to discuss co-operation - online and offine - and whether the growth of online collaboration is showing us that we're moving towards a more democratic age.

MANCHESTER FILM COOPERATIVE
July 20 - Lone Star
John Sayles’ murder-mystery is a classic piece of film-making that explores interpersonal and interracial tensions in Texas. Sam Deeds is the local sheriff who is called to investigate a 40-year-old skeleton found in the desert. As he delves into the town’s dark secrets, he begins to learn more about his father, the legendary former sheriff Buddy Deeds, who replaced the corrupt Charlie Wade. Sayles’ complex characters are brought together as the tightly woven plot finally draws to a dramatic close.

The King's Arms - 2005 Pub Of The Year

Thank you to everyone who voted - We're pleased as punch!

Kings Arms
Under the management of Jon Cooper, the King's Arms has undergone a transformation as both a real ale outlet and a
multimedia arts centre. The pub is tucked away on Bloom Street, off Chapel Street, Salford and on a recent visit the real ales
included Deuchers, London Pride, Taylors Landlord and two from the Broughton based Bazens' Brewery.
The Kings recently held the premiere of the award wiinning play 'Salford Stuffers'. It hosts regular music, film and poetry evenings. There is an art film night on the first Tuesday of each month, where you can order a pre-film curry. Food is available daily and the pub now has a beer garden.
So if you like culture with your real ale, the Kings is well worth a visit. Contact the pub on 0161 832 3605. For information on future events, call 0161 839 8726.
THE GUARDIAN GUIDE - Preview: Bars (30th April '05)
"Culturally, Salford has always existed in Manchester's shadow. However, in the King's Arms (admittedly, still only a few minutes walk from Manchester city-centre) the neighbour has a gem. Tucked away between new apartments and an industrial estate, under manager Jon Cooper this sensitively revamped traditional pub - ornate plasterworks and stained glass joined by modern art and big, chunky tables - has become a thriving arts hub: various leftfield creative outfits taking over the great domed performance space upstairs. Keane (secret gig) and the Guilty Pleasures club have visited recently, but it's locals like theatre collective Studio Salford and alt-country night Rain or Shine that have forged the King's reputation. Downstairs, meanwhile, the older regulars: real ale drinkers and dolled-up middle-aged women, get along fine with the bohemian thirtysomethings and students. A relaxed one-off."

ARENA LOCK-IN! THE 27 GREATEST PUBS IN BRITAIN!
The New British Pub Renaissance from ARENA Magazine (Issue 157, April '05).
12 - King's Arms, Salford
"Previously a little-known back-street boozer, thanks to the vision of manager Jon Cooper the King's Arms has become a haven for Mancs looking to host leftfield theatre/poetry/music events. The King's old (real ale) regulars - 'a cultured lot anyway', insists Cooper - happily rub along with the trendies, punks and theatre types.
Décor: A stunning glass domed roof.
Must try: Either the Rain or Shine night, a spin-off from electrotrash riot Chips With Everything that is putting the alt in alt country, or discerning house shindig El Diablo Social Club."
