Description:
A truly breathtaking documentary, filmed during the factory takeovers in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Take centers around one auto-parts factory, and the lives and struggles of the 30 unemployed workers who decide to reoccupy, collectivize, and get it going again. Unsurprisingly, with this template, the film also covers the effects of globalisation.
This film is by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis - the celebrity activists who are the darlings of the corporate media but not always of the movement they 'represent'. THE TAKE raises a lot of questions about the politics of workers control, as well as questions about the politcs of the filmamakers themselves. Come along to see the film and be part of a critical discussion afterwards.
Food and drink available. $5 Donation or less for unwaged etc.

Description:
July 2006 marks the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
At the same time as defending themselves against the facists, the anarchists
in the east of Spain undertook one of the broadest and most successful
processes of anarchist revolution the world has ever seen. The workers and
peasants collectivised land and industry and set up local councils to organise
life democratically. The success of these agrarian collectives survives in the
minds of anarchists today as an example of how anarchist society can flourish
- even in the most adverse conditions. We will be showing archival footage

500 MILES TO BABYLON
Directed by David Martinez (USA)
500 Miles to Babylon is a one-hour documentary film about Iraq under U.S. occupation. Narrated by the filmmaker, using footage shot in Iraq during 2003-4, the film will address the current war not simply as a conflict over petroleum profits or a scheme to fill a company's coffers, but as part of a larger American imperial project. Through impromptu interviews, glimpses of daily life, still photographs, and footage of car-bombs, demonstrations, night-time graffiti artists, and the celebrations following Saddam's capture, 500 Miles To Babylon will reveal the complex situation in contemporary Iraq through a personal lens. Far from being a simple anti-war movie, 500 Miles will attempt to illustrate the terrible complexity of a people brutalized by a dictatorship, and the catastrophic results when that system is changed overnight by shortsighted military means.
500 Miles is also the story of an American independent journalist in Iraq attempting to understand the country and its ever-changing situation. One chapter of the film will relate his experience during the April 2004 siege of Fallujah, when he temporarily abandoned his camera and was part of an ambulance crew that was then fired on by U.S. snipers.
