Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance – Native American Cinema

  • May 21, 2016 11:27 pm

from Facebook

Alanis Obomsawin’s landmark documentary chronicles the cataclysmic 1990 standoff that occurred between the Canadian Army, Quebec police, and members of the Mohawk Nation determined to defend their land from the planned encroachment of a golf course. The astounding incidents, captured by Obomsawin during the 78-day ordeal, form a double portrait: of an indifferent government, and a people prepared to maintain their dignity at any cost.
Presented as part of Through Indian Eyes: Native American Cinema, May 27-June 9, a landmark touring program of 20 stunning independent films directed by Native Americans, organized by the UCLA Television & Film Archive.

Summer Film Screening: La Haine

  • August 20, 2015 12:02 pm

from Wooden Shoe Books & Records

When: Mon, August 24, 7pm – 9pm
Where: Wooden Shoe Books, 704 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147, United States (map)
Description: Over the last several years revolts against the police and the state they protect have spread through France, Greece, England and most recently the United States, due to the murder of a young person by those forces. In light of this we will be screening a fictional film adaptation of these notions of police violence targeting young marginalized peoples, and their responses, in La Haine.

Set in France, local youth Abdel is beaten unconscious by police and a riot ensues on his estate during which a policeman loses his gun. The gun is found by Vinz who threatens he will kill a cop if Abdel dies.

A magnificent film, that is both poignant and engaging.

20 years old this year!

Anti-Racist Summer Film Screening – Nästa Station Rönninge

  • June 21, 2015 7:05 pm

from facebook

Since the murder of a young neo nazi skinhead in the Stockholm suburb Salem in December 2000, fascists from all over Europe has marched in his memory every year. In 2003 they gathered more than 2000 nazis, the biggest fascist march in Scandinavia since WWII. But they didn’t march without resistance. The antifascist movement tried out a wide range of tactics. In 2011 the nazis marched for the last time. This short documentary tells the story of how the antifascists tried to stop the Salem-march.

After the film there will be a short presentation about a similar event here in Philadelphia, the Keystone State Skinheads “Leif Erikson Day celebration”, which was started in 2007 and held every year (excepting one) until it was forced underground last year.

We will be asking for a small donation at the door but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. There will also be food and Antifa merch for sale.

This event is sponsored by Philly Anti-Capitalists and Antifa Philadelphia. All money raised will go towards those groups and A-Space.
