3 Films + Discussion + Electric Punk Gig with the legendary band Oi Polloi!

11.00am - DOCUMENTARY: Non Son L'uno Per Cento (They Are Not One Percent) (Dir. Antonio Morabito, Italy, 2007, 75 min)

In Antonio Morabito's film Carrara is the city of marble and the cradle of international anarchism. In the documentary, we see a publisher, a university professor, a sculptor, a historian and a typographer taking the audience on a journey talking about anarchy, the F.A.I. (Federazione Anarchica Italiana), departing from 1894, through major historical events p until the present. They discuss neo-global and new-global movements, unstable labour, warfare, and the environment.

The documentary poses critical questions on the relationship between anarchy and violence, anarchy and society, and between anarchy and utopia.

11.00am - TALK/DISCUSSION: The ABC of Anarchism / Anarchism in the North East

Everything you ever wanted to know about anarchism, but were too afraid to ask - an introduction to the groups, the ideas and the jargon. Alongside this introduction there'll also be an opportunity to discuss the history (and perhaps future) of anarchism in our region.

1.00pm - FILM: Ethel MacDonald: an anarchist's story ( Dir. Mark Littlewood, 2006, 75 min)

Mark Littlewood's documentary looks at the remarkable life of the Motherwell born Ethel MacDonald, the lifelong revolutionary and friend of Guy Aldred. During the Spanish revolution she made English language broadcasts from Barcelona, that both reported events and made a call to arms. Later she became the 'anarchist pimpernel', assisting libertarians to flee Franco's repression. Littlewood's drama-documentary sets Ethel's own story against the backdrop of the wider struggle, combining contemporary footgage and dramatic reconstruction.

After the screening of An Anarchist's Story, there will be an opportunity to question the filmmaker.

3.00pm - DISCUSSION: Current Struggles
