SUMMARY:LONG TAKE SCREENING SERIES: United Voices
DESCRIPTION:LONG TAKE is a series of three screenings at Four Corners\, LUX and MayDay Rooms\, which brings together films by the 1930s Workers’ Film & Photo League with contemporary activist films to explore themes of housing\, empire and work. \nA screening of five films on workers’ struggles\, from 1935 protests to today’s fights for workers’ justice. Followed by discussion. \nStrife \nFilm & Photo League\, 1937\, 26 mins \nFilmed in 1935 on 16mm and originally titled ‘Fight’\, this attempts to put authentic working class lives on screen in a fictionalised drama produced by workers themselves. The film echoes constructivist devices in its use of close-ups\, jaunty angles and distinctive montage sequences\, but it is the use of real-life locations and non-professional actors that appear most modern today. \nConstruction \nFilm & Photo League\, 1935\, 10 mins \nThe Workers’ Film & Photo League manifesto insists that ‘the time has come for workers to produce films and photos of their own’\, and the opening credit declares that the film was ‘made by the men on the job’. Shot by carpenter and amateur filmmaker\, Alf Garrard\, with a concealed camera\, the ingenious shooting style results in imaginative angles with a not infrequent lack of focus. \nUnited Voices \nHazel Falck\, 2020\, 22 mins \nThis film follows a group of outsourced cleaners\, caterers and porters at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington\, employed by Sodexo\, as they organise and embark on their first strike action. They are led by Loreta Younsi and Vitalija Mohamed Mohsen to demand and try to win the London Living Wage\, contractual sick pay\, safer working conditions\, and equality with NHS staff.  \n10 Years of IWGB \nIWGB Union\, 2023\, 19 mins \nThe Independent Workers’ union of Great Britain is a grassroots member-led union fighting for justice for workers. Founded 2012 by Latin American cleaners organising for better working conditions\, it has grown to thousands of members. This film takes a look back at its history\, the achievements of its members and its vision for the future. \nBirmingham binworkers strike \nReel News\, 2026\, 15 mins \nThe Birmingham binworkers have been out on strike for over a year fighting a life-changing £8\,000 a year cut in their pay – disgracefully\, by a Labour council. As the council grows increasingly isolated and unpopular\, this dispute is being watched closely by other councils across the country… If the binworkers win it could be the start of a serious push for more funding for our cash-starved public services. \nDiscussion with members of the IWGB\, video activist Shaun Dey\, MayDay Rooms\, artist and researcher Matthias Kispert\, and artist filmmaker and lecturer Samuel Stevens.

SUMMARY:Anarchy in Indonesia - Screening\, Presentation and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:South London Anarchist Nucleus Presents:\nScreening\, presentation and discussion on anarchy in Indonesia and the need to spread the rebellion where we are.\n56a crampton street (SE17 3AE)\nIndonesia conjures up images of resorts and attractions for the empty ‘adventures’ of the tourist industry. In fact it is an archipelago of cancerous exploitation which the UK is complicit in to the tune of 2.86 billion dollars a year dispersed in investments in oil and its byproducts (BP)\, Nickel (for the batteries of the totalitarian ‘green’ transition)and hyper exploitation of labour (the garment industry\, Nike in particular).\nLast year the elites governing the state in Indonesia awarded themselves a lavish increase in their ‘MPs expenses’ triggering mass protests across the country. In August 2025 an armored vehicle hunting one of these protests crushed a motorcycle delivery driver to death. The archipelago exploded in riotous uproar\, burning and destroying every visible symbol of power in its way\, spreading everywhere\, uncontrollably. Just like in Nepal\, Madagascar\, Morocco\, Iran\, and many more\, the dispossessed woke up in joyous collusion against the regimes which imprison them.\nSince then\, anarchists have been designated by judges and TV studios alike as the enemy of the moment. Mass roundups are taking place\, torture is widespread\, many comrades are in prison\, many have been driven into clandestinity. They have clearly been singled out not only due to their impassioned and uncompromising presence among their exploited brothers and sisters in the uprising\, but also because of the continuity of their anti-political revolutionary struggle which has spanned self-organised resistance to land grabs to nocturnal assaults on banks and police outpost for years.\nWe want to share these encounters with anyone who desires to take back their own life. The spirit\, action and quality of the Indonesian anarchists is a wellspring of inspiration for proud exiles from the world constructed by the powerful murderers of earth and freedom. In the first place we want to contribute to the continuation of the struggle of the comrades facing down state-terrorism in Indonesia.\nIn the second place we want to break our complicity with the global war on thought\, dignity and nature\, and take up our complicity in the social war against all forms of power.

SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: Babybird Babybird
DESCRIPTION:This March join us as we show a film that raises more questions than answers. We will be screening the Greek documentary theatrical ‘Babybird Babybird’ (2021\, 1h30) by Dimitris Bampilis and the APARÄMILLON creative team\, that was commissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi. Why we do (not) have children? Parents-to-be\, a new mother\, a midwife\, a demographer\, a sociologist\, a neuroscientist\, and an anti-natalist YouTuber share their respective opinions on the sexiest ontological question\, and take part in a documentary theater performance about the complicated relationship between our sexual life and our reproductive potential. They explore concepts and issues that include ‘low birth rate\,’ ‘overpopulation\,’ motherhood as a conscious personal choice\, pregnancy termination\, prenatal checks\, national healthcare policy\, sperm banks\, and dating apps. Using interviews and statistics\, personal testimonies and scientific studies\, discretion and humor\, they intervene into the debate regarding birthrate and parenthood\, a recurring debate since moral panic and rhetoric on the dangers of “corrupting the nation” tend to dominate it. After the screeening we will have a Q&A with the team behind the production. See the trailer here Exhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. Drinks and snacks will be available. Suggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. All genders welcome. Doors open at 7pm. ACCESS:  The film showing will take place on the ground floor of Pelican House\, in the room at the back of the courtyard. The toilets are on the same same level. The space and toilets are level access from the road. Closest stations Bethnal Green tube station and Bethnal Green overground station. Closest bus stops Cephas Street and Three Colts Lane for the 106 and 254 buses.

SUMMARY:Fundraiser for Shü-Mom Art ~ "One Spirit"
DESCRIPTION:7pm – Screening of “Frágil Equilibrio”\, dir. Guillermo Galoe (Goya 2017 to best feature documentary). Shared by the director exclusively for this benefit.\nEnglish Subtitles to Spanish\, French\, Bambara\, Japanese.\nhttps://www.panoramica.film/en/pelicula/628382305b58b0b6122da505 \n  \n8:30pm – Call with Shü-Mom Art members from Tangier + introduction of participating London groups. \n9:30pm onwards – Live acts! in the following order: \n* Lizzy & Billy in their debut as fiddle & acordeon duo! Will be playing a mix of French\, Irish and Scottish folk. \n* Olga Glazova plays and sings her songs with the Russian traditional gusli instrument. Leading promoter of the gusli instrument in the non-academic music community. Singer-songwriter\, composer\, author of five albums. The first gusli player in the Aquarium band (cult Russian rock band) and featured on albums by 25/17\, BG\, Affinage\, THEODOR BASTARD and others. She is among the top 10 performers and groups working in the world music format according to RWMA-2021. \n* Abdellah Rais\, born and raised within Morocco’s Amazigh/Berber community\, is the founder and leader of Berber Diffusion\, a London-based group that performs its own unique blend of traditional music (Gnawa and Amazigh) infused with contemporary influences as well as doing workshops and educational activity.\n“I think my own work in promoting Berber/Amazigh culture reflects a broader struggle in the art world\, where marginalised voices often lack resources and visibility. It’s crucial that the arts become more open and accessible for all underrepresented communities. Art should be a platform where every story is valued and every culture has a chance to shine.” \n* AiDance is a collective that performs and teaches West African dance\, music and tradition. Their sharings are a whole storytelling and ancestry honoring event. \n~ Food & drink ~ bring cash! \nAccesibility info: main event space where all activities will happen + toilet is step free and wheelchair accesible. \n————— \nShü-Mom Art is a sub-saharan migrants’ art/culture/human rights collective in Tangier. Driven by the idea that\, though not being in “dreamland” Europe neither in the country of origin\, a fulfilling and dignifying life can be built through mutual support\, art and culture\, collaborating and self-organising. Challenging the power of borders and for the dignity of migrants’ lives everywhere.\nFor 5th consecutive year “One Spirit” was launched\, on occasion of Intl Women’s Day\, by and for the women in their community. Besides the collection for material support (see below)\, on the 8th of March they were protagonists of an important program of events: workshops and panels on rights\, autonomy and action for justice for all women and children. Sharing of own stories. Conversation on support for those who cross to Europe. Overview of March 8th meaning & origin. Children activities and dance! music! arts & crafts! theatre! Constituting an important date to build support networks in the long term.\nFor context and detailed info about the crowdfunding to distribute material support see this link:\nhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/one-spirit-solidarity-with-migrant-women-in-tanger \nSources of funding for what Shu-Mom Art do are very limited and hard to access in their context and the money we raise might be helpful for different needs of the work they carry forward. Their main focus\, however\, is “One Spirit”\, since the 2026 crowdfunder for it hasn’t worked that well. Let’s try to gather some ££ to send over!! And make ff this an occasion to strengthen connections across borders. \nReach out for proposals of collaboration or just to introduce yourselves and link up!\n• Facebook :\nhttp://www.facebook.com/share/1DbeMj112Q/\n• Instagram :\nhttp://www.instagram.com/shumom_shumom \nEmail : shumomart@gmail.com
