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+!

A powerful film that puts a face on immigration & makes us view it in a different way. The impoverished Central Americans who leave their countries in hopes of a better life in the United States have a rough road ahead of them. 'De Nadie' shows how, during their perilous 2,500-mile journey through Mexico, they put their money, dignity, health and life on the line.While the anti-immigration movement in the United States focuses on preventing Mexican migration to America, limited attention is paid to the thousands of Central Americans who first have to cross Mexico before attempting to enter the United States. This documentary seeks to fill that gap. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles & will be followed by discussion. Entrance is free & all are welcome For further information contact Hazel Marsh (LLT) hazel.marsh@uea.ac.uk ------------ ==Leafletting Protest outside Somerfield's Supermarket, Sat. 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.) ------------- ==Vigil for Gaza/Palestine, Norwich Vigil, Saturday, February 7th, 12:00am to 13:30 pm, Forum amphitheatre== *Vigil *Bring placards Supported by: *Norwich Palestine Solidarity Campaign group *Norwich Stop the War Coalition *Norwich & Norfolk Muslim Association http://www.norwichmuslims.org/ *UEA Islamic Society For more information contact info@norwichstopwar.org.uk or http://www.norwichmuslims.org/ ----------- ==Norfolk Mental Health Alliance Committee Meeting, Tue, Feb 10th,3pm, Julian Hospital Room 8 at Town Close Clinic== Regular meeting, every 2nd Tuesday.
