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:BOOK LAUNCH: RADICAL JUSTICE: Building the World We Need with Nani Jansen Reventlow
DESCRIPTION:Housmans are delighted to be hosting an event around this essential new book — a stalwart guide to strengthen the movement for freedom and equality for all. \nOur society is breaking down. Fascists are winning elections\, economic inequality is rampant\, and the climate crisis is at its tipping point. It feels like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is too much to handle. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action? Who will free us if not ourselves? \nIn Radical Justice\, international human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow shows how we can build a fundamentally different future with our own hands. We all have our own spheres of influence\, and each of us can be the revolution.   \nTaking inspiration from the deep well of anti-racist and social activist writers such as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Angela Davis\, each chapter offers tips on how to learn\, reflect and act in a society where we are told we are powerless. Including advice on strategic litigation\, reclaiming our digital rights\, reparations demands\, climate activism and much more\, the information in these pages is indispensable to the struggle for radical justice. \nNani Jansen Reventlow is an international human rights lawyer. She is the founder of Systemic Justice\, which advocates for marginalised communities through strategic litigation. Politico named her one of society’s great visionary tech leaders for her work on digital human rights. She has also been honoured with awards from Harvard\, Oxford and Columbia Universities. \nNani will read from and talk about the book for about 45 minutes\, followed by a Q&A. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \nDoors Open at 6:45pm\, Event Starts 7:00. \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…
