Movie Night: 9 to 5 on Tuesday, November 21

When:

Nov 21 2023 - 7:30pm - 9:30pm

We planned this to movie to celebrate Labor Day, then several volunteers got Covid, so its been long postponed . . . but now we're excited to share this worker's rights classic movie 9 to 5. I haven't seen this one since I was a kid in the eighties, and I'm hoping that the story of women workers striking back at their bosses has aged well :)

We'll start the movie at 7:00 pm in the yurt and will have hot apple cider to share. Donations happily accepted.

Movement Movie Night Aug 30

When:

Aug 23 2023 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Movement Movies and Memory: films + discussions for deep-rooted change. This will be a series of movie nights featuring different films.

First session: Wednesday, Aug 30 at 7:30pm in the yurt

Everything is changing. We are in a whiplash of exhilirating possibility and dispiriting powerlessness. What does it mean to seek to (help) "change the world"? Is it helpful to look to the past? How do we link generations of struggle?

In this series, participants in radical movements will introduce and facilitate discussion around radical movies -- in particular, documentaries or "propaganda" films that were made during or immediately after the historical epochs discussed. We will start with the period of the "global justice" movements, approximately 1994 - 2004 -- recent enough that many deep participants remain all around us, yet long enough ago that much has been forgotten.

"Fourth World War" (1h 18m)

On this full moon, we'll kick off with one of the most beautiful and comprehensive tales of the global struggle of the period, situating the uprisings of the "global North" in the context of ongoing anticolonial struggles in the "global South". Weaving rare first-hand footage of struggles in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, and "the North", the film sees the movements as led by the self-declared "Fourth World" of indigenous peoples calling for the end of Empire and the emergence of "a world where many worlds fit."

Hosted by participants in several of the struggles depicted, one of whom helped with production of the film.

"Peak" (34m)

This pivots from the global to the regional, focusing on the forest defense movement in Oregon. Unlike more prominent (and also awesome) works like "Pickaxe", "Peak" takes a more intimate look at what it was like to be part of a heartbreaking and heart-opening struggle of humans connected to land and each other. Hosted by a filmmaker and a participant in the struggle.
