Events coming up May and June - From bbq competitions to films about the U.S subprime crisis

There is a busy weekend coming up in Nyon with lots of events on the agenda.   Also, please note (re previous post) there will be NO English column in La Côte newspaper this Friday due to space restrictions. Here's an advance notice that on Monday 6th June at 20:00 there will be a special screening of the documentary "Cleveland against Wall Street" at Nyon Capitole Cinema. This docu-fiction is in English. The director of Visions du Réel film festival will be  present at the screening and will be speaking to the director Jean Stephan Bron (from Lausanne) about the making of the movie.  The film's storyline is about the victims of the subprime crisis in the U.S who fight it out with bankers in a court case. This film has been very successful in Switzerland and audiences have turned out in big numbers.  The cinema in Nyon is now linking up with Vision du Réel to show documentaries throughout the year and not just over the festival period.
