+ | ==Wired Events: Wed, Feb 4th, 'Archive Film Show', 2:30pm-4:30pm, UEA, Arts 02.02== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Amateur film-making is not just about filming the family holiday. 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+! | ||

+ | ==Film show 'De nadie/Nobody', Thursday 5th February, 7 pm, UEA Arts 01.02== | ||
+ | 2006 Sundance winning documentary by Tim Dirdamal, Mexico, 2005. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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 | ||

+ | ==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.) | ||

+ | BRAZIL'S LANDLESS MOVEMENT: INTERACTIVE FILM & PRESENTATION | ||
+ | Organised by the schools of Development Studies, Film & TV Studies, & | ||
+ | Language, Linguistics & Translation Studies | ||
+ | *Guest speaker: Nina Simões | ||
+ | |||
+ | *"Rehearsing Reality" | ||
+ | This is an interactive non-linear work based on the | ||
+ | relationship between the Landless Movement in Brazil and the | ||
+ | Theatre of the Oppressed. | ||
+ | Brazil's Landless Movement (MST) - described by Noam Chomsky | ||
+ | as 'the most successful grassroots movement in the world' - | ||
+ | has adopted Theatre of the Oppressed techniques, developed by | ||
+ | Brazilian theatre director Augusto Boal, which teach people | ||
+ | how to transform themselves from spectators into | ||
+ | 'spect-actors' by actively taking control of their lives. | ||
+ | As the documentary Rehearsing Reality was edited with the | ||
+ | Korsakow System (software deigned to create interactive | ||
+ | films), members of the audience will be invited to interact | ||
