DVDs of the film and refreshments will also be available for purchase. Tickets are available onsite or by reserving with sueg@sympatico.ca.
The Bamboo Bunch is a group of families who have adopted from Asia. These families get together to share experiences, strengthen their shared bonds and allow the children to play and have fun with their peers. The Bamboo Bunch began in May 2000 with 6 families meeting at the Forum in Cambridge. They now count over 150 families who attend their events at various times. They welcome inquiries from those who have adopted, are in the process of adopting or have questions about the process.

The Invisible Red Thread is made possible with 100% funding from the OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. The $32.5 million fund is a seven-year commitment created and made available for the independent production of third-language ethnocultural programming. The fund is not only dedicated to helping Canadian independent producers tell their stories in their language of comfort, but also to make sure that these stories are accessible to other ethnocultural communities through re-versioning in different languages. This is the industry’s first, and only, major source of funding for the independent production of non-official language programming. More details on the fund are at OMNI Television’s website
