Occupation 101 is the  winner  of  8  film  festival  awards.

It is a thought provoking and powerful documentary film on the  current  and
historical root causes  of  the  Israeli-Palestinian  conflict.  Unlike  any
other film produced on the conflict Occupation 101 presents a  comprehensive
analysis of the facts and hidden  truths  surrounding  the  controversy  and
dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.

The film lasts  90 minutes and will be followed by a discussion led by members of Norwich Stop the War Coalition

Venue: Room 01.02 - Arts Block at UEA - Time: 7.00 pm

All welcome!

==Ammunition, Art Show,St. Margarets Church Art Gallery, 3rd-14th November 2008==

Following on from last years  popular anti war exhibition another is to be held again in Norwich.  

Anti war events can never be seen as "successful", i.e. wars carry on regardless. 
However moments of reflection in the midst of our normal day-to -day-ness  are certainly not a bad thing.  
Moments of clarity  need nurturing and art can  help make that happen.

The show entitled AMMUNITION appeals to a broad cross section with work from agitprop to cool; from fine art to cartoon.
In short something for everyone, well anyone who hopes and believes that peace is somehow possible, no matter how difficult to find.
 
St. Margarets Church Art Gallery, St. Benedicts St, NR2, 3rd-14th November 2008

There will be a special evening event when all the artists will be present. Wine will be served.
Private view.: 7th November

The show includes photomontage artist Peter Kennard with prints fresh from his London exhibition; international Pop artist and patron of Norwich Fringe Festival Colin Self; a print from the Lebanon series by John Kiki; and dancer and vocalist Samia Malik whose work explores race, language,politics, roots and religion.

====MAGIC LANTERN SHOW====

presented by Peter Stibbons

on Wednesday the 29 October 2008 

Long before cinemas, even before film in fact, moving pictures were presented to audiences via a magic lantern and glass slides. 

Living in the digital age, surrounded and bombarded constantly with moving images on our televisions, on our computers and
even on our phones let alone the cinema, this special
Film and Digital Media Exchange and East Anglian Film Archive
event will recapture what we often think of as a simple time, but what was, in fact, the very exciting beginning of the world be
captured and presented in moving pictures. 

Peter Stibbons will be presenting this special event at the University of East Anglia, Arts Building 1, Room A2.02 from 2-5pm. 
====BBFC – British Board of Film Classification====

Presented by John Wagland

On Wednesday the 19th November 2008 

The BBFC will be giving a unique look into the world of film classification from John Wagland (ex game designer and now BBFC examiner).  John will use various clips to illustrate and contextualise the decision making procedure and demystify this essential process. 

The BBFC is a highly expert and experienced regulator of moving image (especially film, video/DVD and video games), and also a service provider for new and developing media.  As an independent, self-financing regulator, they have a passion for moving images and balance their duty to protect the public with a respect for the right to freedom of expression.  More information about the BBFC can be found via their website www.bbfc.co.uk  

John Wagland will be giving his talk at the University of East Anglia, Arts Building 1, Room A3.01 from 2-5pm.
