As we’ve proved so far with our previous IAC (Institute of Amateur Cinematographers) archive film shows, so many amateur film-makers can give the professional a run for their money. This unique film show will give a fascinating insight into the artistic, progressive and ambitious world of the keen amateur film-maker – an area which cries out for academic study. Material will include a Swinging 60s surprise role reversal where a young man finds himself emasculated by an older woman, animation drawn on film, a filmic joke at the expense of the audience, tender treatments of sensitive subjects such as cerebral palsy and technically ambitious in-camera special effects. Please note that this event is 18+!

Feb. 7th 20009, 9am onwards, Earlham Road== February 7th is a national day of protest at shops and supermarkets which sell Israeli products and goods labelled "West Bank". The latter are NOT Palestinian goods but are produced by businesses run by illegal Israeli settlers who have stolen Palestinian land in the West Bank. We are organising a leafletting protest outside Somerfield's Supermarket in the Earlham Shopping Centre on Earlham Road from 9am onwards. We have chosen this supermarket because there has been a market increase in the number of Israeli & 'West Bank' products on its shelves and because it is within easy range of the university and is in an area where many students live. We need your support and help. Please let me know if you ca support us. (We have checked matters with the police and there is no reason why there should be any problem carrying out this action.) ------------- ==Norfolk Mental Health Alliance Committee Meeting, Tue, Feb 10th,3pm, Julian Hospital Room 8 at Town Close Clinic== Regular meeting, every 2nd Tuesday.
