Hey, I'm collaborating on this and thought it might be of interest:

Website. <http://www.limazulu.co.uk/pages/sexcom/sexcom.html>



LimaZulu presents a season of films depicting the relationship between
radical politics and sexual expression.



Monday 12th- 7PM Daddy and the Muscle Academy (Dir. Ilppo Pohjola, 1991)

Touko Laaksonen was a young Finnish advertising student when he began
drawing pornographic scenes of hyper-masculine men for his own pleasure. By
the time of his death in 1991 Tom of Finland was a legend within gay
culture. However his images always walked an uneasy line, featuring a
fetishisation of fascistic imagery and hyper-sexualised black males. Daddy
and the Muscle Academy traces Tom?s personal and artistic development.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104045/)



Monday 12th- 9PM Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard
Operator
(Dir. Dusan Makavejev, 1967)

Originally refused release in Britain, Switchboard Operator tells the story
of a young worker and her love affair with a rat-catcher and former
partisan. Its idiosyncratic Yugoslavian director mixes his melodramatic tale
with a disjointed look at the uneasy position of Yugoslavian socialism,
ideologically trapped between Western Europe, with its hedonistic
consumerism, and the official culture of the Soviet Union.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061912/)



Thursday 15th- 7PM Beast of Stray (Dir. Jessie Thurston, 2010)

Beast of Stray, showing for the first time in the UK, is a new film by the
young Californian director Jessie Thurston. Following Zumi, a young girl,
into the desert with a group of LA hipsters, the film focuses on her
discovery of a commune and its slide into a fucked-up hedonism of sex, music
and drugs.
(http://www.jessiethurston.com/)



Thursday 15th- 9PM Raspberry Reich (Dir. Bruce LaBruce, 2004)

A pornographic satire on ?revolutionary chic?, The Raspberry Reich features
hardcore radical terrorist Gudrun (in the mode of RAF urban-guerrilla Gudrun
Ensslin) in her quest to destroy bourgeois morality through a ?Homosexual
Intifada?. A highly explicit and tongue-in-cheek look at the fetishisation
of leftist doctrinal dogmatism, the film twists the question of
revolutionary commitment originally posed by the Weathermen- "Are you
revolutionary enough to give up your girlfriends?"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raspberry_Reich)



Sunday 18th- 2PM Born in 68 (Dirs. Olivier Ducastel/Jacques Martineau, 2008)


This epic drama, coming in at almost 170 minutes, traces three generations
of French leftist radicals from their involvement in the student-worker
uprisings of May 68, right up to the election of Sarkozy in 2007. Its
intense, emotional narrative of the personal relationships of a group of
friends is intertwined with their political development, through their
departure from the workers struggle to set up a utopian commune in the
French countryside, the taking up of vanguardist revolutionary violence, and
their children?s subsequent involvement in the gay rights movement and AIDS
activism, all focused upon the farmhouse that was their home for 40 years.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160015/)



Tuesday 20th- 7PM Maggots and Men (Dir. Cary Cronenwett, 2009)

Maggots and Men, an experimental historical narrative set in
post-revolutionary Russia, re-tells the story of the 1921 uprising of the
Kronstadt sailors with a subtext of gender anarchy. A thoughtful homage to
Soviet silent era directors and artists of the Russian avant-garde, the film
explores themes of re-invention, revolution, community, and corruption. The
film is set in the all male environment of a Russian naval base, but cast
with actors from a range of masculine gender expressions, resulting in a
film that redefines male, challenges the binary gender construct, and
intentionally creates confusion.
(http://www.maggotsandmen.com/)



Tuesday 20th- 9PM Maedchen in Uniform (Dir. Leontine Sagan/Carl Froelich,
1931)

Originally released in 1931 in the atmosphere of the liberalising Weimar
Republic, this groundbreaking film about a spirited teenage girl, Manuela,
announcing her love for her young teacher, Fraulein Von Bernberg. The film
was revolutionary not just for its sympathetic, libertarian approach to both
sexuality and the authoritarian Prussian school system, but also for its
unique co-operative and profit-sharing production.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022183/)



Thursday 22nd- 7PM Heart of the World (Dir. Guy Maddin, 2000)

An amazing 6-minute short film packed with references and to early
silent-film making and the Russian avant-garde, in which a beautiful young
scientist must seduce one of two brothers in order to save the earth.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0260948/)



Thursday 22nd- 7.30PM The Fall of Communism as seen in Gay Pornography (Dir.
William E. Jones, 1998)

A compelling and moving short film, compiled from audition tapes for gay
porn films made in Eastern Europe and Russia, examining the effect of the
influx of the western sex economy on the men and boys desperate for work.
(http://www.williamejones.com/collections/view/6/)



Thursday 22nd- 8PM Paris is Burning (Dir. Jennie Livingston, 1990)

Completing our triple-bill, Paris is Burning documents the Drag Ball culture
of New York; highlighting Americas complicated relationship with class,
gender and race. It follows young gay, queer and trans Americans building
themselves their own culture at odds with their (often conservative)
upbringings, whilst continuing to struggle against poverty,
institutionalized homophobia and AIDS crisis.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100332/)



Sunday 25th- 2PM Proh-soh'pa-peer (Dir. Richard John Jones, 2009)

Jones? fascinating art film features documentary interviews of participants
of a variety of British political movements and protests, from the gay
rights movement to the G20 protests, interspersed with footage from a
performance of radical drag queens filmed in South-East London, creating a
compelling snapshot of the language of performative street protest since the
kick-lines of the Stonewall Girls. ?When did you ever see a fag fight back?
This shit has got to stop?
(http://richardjohnjones.blogspot.com/)



Sunday 25th- 3PM Born in Flames (Dir. Lizzie Borden, 1983)

Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a
revolution in which a socialist government gains power, this films presents
a dystopia in which the issues of many progressive groups - minorities,
liberals, gay rights organizations, feminists - are ostensibly dealt with by
the government, and yet there are still problems with jobs, with gender
issues, with governmental preference and violence. In New York City, in this
future time, a group of women decide to organize and mobilize, to take the
revolution farther than any man - and many women - ever imagined in their
lifetimes.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_in_Flames)



There will also be a pamphlet of essays and writings to accompany the
season, released soon.

Date: Friday, 2 July, 2010, 12:06

The time is rapidly approaching when a workshops time-table need to be  agreed for printing in the programme.? More help is needed finding people to run some slots (see below)
 
 The basic timeline is this - workshop offers received with full  information & descriptions before Tuesday  July 13th will be put in a draft time-table with due diligence  to the desires of the workshop provider regarding timing & clashes.?  The draft timetable will be made available for people to check for  errors.
 
 Offers received between July 14th & July 20th will probably make the printed timetable, but will have to take what slots they can get.

These are final, fixed & non-negotiable deadlines that have already been put as late as possible to maximise people's chances of getting stuff together.

So PLEASE now is the time to send in your offers, & spread far & wide the request that others do the same.

We also still have several key topics that either don't have anyone running slots, or that we don't have covered as broadly as we'd like.? I've listed the main areas for this below.? Some work is already being done on these but if you have a bit of time to spare asking around about these topics, or can suggest people I could contact I'd be very grateful.? It's most helpful if you can make contact with the potential workshop provider, get all the info needed (I've added a list of questions it is useful to ask of workshop providers below) & then pass on this information + contact to me.? Would be
 helpful to let me know ASAP if you are working on any of these topics to avoid duplication of effort.

These are the workshops we are still seeking:

* Anyone willing to run specific activity slots for children

* Introduction to EF! & the EF! Gathering - Needs to run each day; can be different people running each session; needs to be someone with experience of the network who can explain a little history, about how the gathering is organised & run, basic facilitation, why not all meetings are open & answer questions
??? 
* Anything on creating your own media

* First aid/medic - we've one offer but could do with more

* Introduction to Anarchism

* Prisoner support
???? 
* Prison experiences

* Full arrest role play - Has been requested, would be (I think) qualitatively different from what seeds of change are offering, but might be good to consult with
 them

* Legal Update - someone who can update on recent changes in the law

* Refusing bail conditions/consequences of refusing bail - Has been requested in light on increasingly ridiculous bail conditions ? need to find someone who can bring together experiences of refusing bails

* Blockading - general
???? 
* Blockading - tripods
?? 
* Fences: removal, scaling & generally being on the other side of

* Introduction to Ecology

* Restoration Ecology

* Intro to Plant identification?? 

* Anything to do with living off grid
??? 
* Anything about permaculture

* Veganism

* Eco-activism & animal rights

* Any more advanced workshops or skill share on facilitation techniques

* Computing things like cyber-security/open source software etc.


Questions to ask workshop providers:

What is the
 title of your workshop/presentation (feel free to request more than one if say, you'd like to introduce a topic in one session & have a planning meeting in another)?

How long do you need (slots are usually 1.5 or 2 hours long, though where it makes sense they can run over 2 or more sessions - usually for practical workshops like climbing & kayaking)

Can you give a brief description of your session for inclusion in the programme (please include whether it is a skill sharing/skill learning/discussion/introduction/planning or other type of session, & who it is aimed at)

Are you happy for this title/description to go in the workshops programme?

What days do you anticipate being at the gathering?

Are there any times/days you DO NOT want your workshop scheduled

Are there other workshops you are involved with running that this one needs no to clash with?

Does your workshop have any special equipment
 or space requirements you'd like us to try & sort out?

Do you need a facilitator for your session?


Sorry this is rather long? - please do feedback ASAP

Cheers 

Jo

*ABOUT THE PN SUMMER CAMP* 

Peace News Summer Camp is an inclusive, democratically-run five-day experience-in-miniature of the kind of world we are trying to bring about. Bring your own contribution to a space that bridges the usual divisions in our movements and our society, where we pay as much attention to how we bring about change as to the changes that are so desperately needed. This year, feminism joins our standing themes of peace and justice. 

We will be learning from other movements, struggling with challenging issues, creating greater cohesion in a segmented peace movement and debating nonviolence. Workshops will range from theoretical discussions to practical planning for actions later in the year. There will be over fifty years of activist experience at the camp, along with fresh faces. 

Fed by local organic fruit and veg (lovingly cooked by the wonderful Veggies of Nottingham), we're camping in a family-friendly and renewably-powered way from 23-27 July near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, to make the world a better place. 

*THEMES FOR THIS YEAR'S CAMP 

> Feminism and Peace* 
Gender perspectives on violence, nonviolence and activism 

*> Building our Skills, Sharing our Skills* 
Nonviolent direct action training, consensus decision making, building a strategy, working in affinity groups, public speaking skills, radical music and more. 

*> Challenging the Military* 
Let's get the military out of our lives and out of other peoples' countries 
* 
> Engaging with other Movements and Struggles* 
What can we learn from other like-minded campaigns such as radical climate activism, animal rights, student activism and European peace campaigns 

*> Radicalising our lives* 
Food, education, power production and more 
* 
> Debating Nonviolence* 
How can we take effective action? 

*WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT LAST YEAR'S PN SUMMER CAMP* 

Some quotes from last year's campers: 

"The fascinating and engaging discussions, debates and conversations that seemed to be taking place all the time all over the camp. Fantastic networking amongst groups and individuals." 

"Camaraderie, challenge, ideas, stimulation, re-energising, contacts, space for input and importing information, wood collecting, tree climbing, tripod, all ages, relaxed feeling, lovely food, fire." 

"The spirit of the occasion. Also the chance to discuss in depth issues we have been campaigning for/support and of course meeting folk and getting to learn new ideas and about 'them' as people." 

"Discussions, relationships, people, depth of thought. LOVED IT!"

Dear Friends, 

Yesterday an Iranian woman, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, was saved by global protests from being stoned to death. 

But she may still be hanged -- and, meanwhile, execution by stoning continues. Right now fifteen more people are on death row awaiting stoning in which victims are buried up to their necks in the ground and then large rocks are thrown at their heads. 

The partial reprieve of Sakineh, triggered by the call from her children for international pressure to save her life, has shown that if enough of us come together and voice our horror, we may be able to save her life, and stop stoning once and for all. Sign the urgent petition now and send it onto everyone you know -- let's end this cruel slaughter NOW! 

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_stoning/?vl 

Sakineh was convicted of adultery, like all the other 12 women and one of the men awaiting stoning. But her children and lawyer say she is innocent and that she did not get a fair trial -- they state her confession was forced from her and, speaking only Azerbaijani, she did not understand what was being asked of her in court. 

Despite Iran's signing of a UN convention that requires the death penalty only be used for the "most serious crimes" and despite the Iranian Parliament passing a law banning stoning last year, stoning for adultery continues. 

Sakineh's lawyer says the Iranian government "is afraid of Iranian public reaction and international attention" to the stoning cases. And after Turkey and Britain's Foreign Ministers spoke out against Sakineh's sentence, it was suspended. 

Sakineh's brave children are leading the international campaign to save their mother and stop stoning. Massive international condemnation now could finally stop this sickening punishment. Let's join together today across the world to end this brutality. Sign the petition to save Sakineh and end stoning here: 

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_stoning/?vl 

In hope and determination, 

Alice, David, Milena, Ben and the whole Avaaz team

Please can you pass this on, and come along yourselves with children, parents, banners, etc


=========


Join Friends of Hackney Nurseries to hand in our petition



On Wednesday 21st July at 6 p.m.

Friends of Hackney Nurseries will be meeting outside the Town Hall, Mare St, E8 to hand in our petition to the council.



We have invited Rita Krishna, member of Cabinet with responsibility for Children and Young People (and member of the board of the Learning Trust), to receive the petition from us before the Full Council meeting, which starts at 7 p.m.



Thanks to vigorous campaigning by Friends of Hackney Nurseries, some of the 13 nurseries who had their commissioning grants arbitrarily removed in April have had most of their money restored. However, several have not, and have had to cut wages, number of childcare places, and are still in danger of closure.  



There are still many unanswered questions about the future of our nurseries, especially in the light of proposed cuts to all public services.  And the Learning Trust is still not making itself transparent and accountable to the people of Hackney.



Everyone who cares about nurseries, and indeed all the children of our borough, is welcome to join us ? come and show the council and the Learning Trust that we will not be fobbed off.



Contact Friends of Hackney Nurseries at fhn at live.co.uk

Hi all,
On wednesday friends of hackney nurseries will hand their petition into
hackney council.
http://www.petitiononline.com/fhn/petition.html
It would be great if people on this list could take 2 minutes to sign the
petition before then and if people are free please come to hackney town
hall on wednesday at 6pm to show support for this campaign.
Thanks,
Una

On Wednesday 21st July at 6 p.m. Friends of Hackney Nurseries will be
meeting outside the Town Hall, Mare St, E8 to hand in our petition to the
council.
We have invited Rita Krishna, member of Cabinet with responsibility for
Children and Young People (and member of the board of the Learning Trust),
to receive the petition from us before the Full Council meeting, which
starts at 7 p.m.
Thanks to vigorous campaigning by Friends of Hackney Nurseries, some of
the 13 nurseries who had their commissioning grants arbitrarily removed in
April have had most of their money restored. However, several have not,
and have had to cut wages, number of childcare places, and are still in
danger of closure.
There are still many unanswered questions about the future of our
nurseries, especially in the light of proposed cuts to all public
services.  And the Learning Trust is still not making itself transparent
and accountable to the people of Hackney.
Everyone who cares about nurseries, and indeed all the children of our
borough, is welcome to join us ? come and show the council and the
Learning Trust that we will not be fobbed off.

 Mothers? Vigil to re-unite Peace Musabi with her children

Thursday 22 July 9.30am
Asylum & Immigration
Tribunal<http://www.tribunals.gov.uk/ImmigrationAsylum/Documents/HearingCentres/YorkHouse.pdf>,
York & Gloucester House,
 Dukes Green Ave, TW14OLS  (near Hatton Cross tube)

     The Mothers? Campaign for Family Reunion (MoCa) and Single Mothers?
Self-Defence invite you to join a Mothers? Vigil in support of Peace Musabi,
one of MoCa?s founder members, who is fighting to be reunited with her
children.

Seven years ago, Ms Musabi fled rape and other torture in Burundi after
being forced to leave her three surviving children in the care of a trusted
friend. He then came under threat and sent the children to a relative before
disappearing. Ms Musabi could not find where the children were. She claimed
asylum in the UK and only in 2007 was granted the right to stay in the UK.
Despite being unable to go back to Burundi, Ms Musabi searched relentlessly
for her children, and two years ago found them safe in Uganda. She has been
pressing the Home Office to allow the children to join her, but so far they
have callously refused.

Jeto Flaviah, a co-founder of the Mothers?
Campaign<http://www.allwomencount.net/EWC%20Immigrant/MothersCampaignAAWG.htm>says:

?*Every meal we eat we think of whether our children have eaten; not one day
passes without our worry that they are **being abused or suffering violence.
We live in this country with our hearts bleeding, but our love for our
children keeps us fighting. *?

?*Being an asylum seeker is just a label, we are the same as any other
mother; we feel the same love, the same heartache, the same longing to
protect our children. **Our hopes are pinned on this hearing, not only for
Peace, a loving mother, and her precious children, but for all mothers
suffering the pain of separation.?*

Kim Sparrow of Single Mothers?
Self-Defence<http://www.allwomencount.net/AWC/SingleMothersPage.htm>,
comments:

*?Despite all the talk about the importance of families, children are being
denied their mothers? love and protection.  As mothers we try to do our best
for our children in increasingly difficult circumstances; and some of us
suffer separation as we flee war, persecution, rape or domestic violence, or
because of poverty.  We have witnessed Ms Musabi?s pain when she couldn?t
locate the children, her determination to leave no stone unturned until she
found them, her joy and relief when she got news that they were alive, and
her distress at the Home Office refusal to allow them to join her.  What is
more important than the survival and wellbeing of children, and the caring
work of mothers to ensure their wellbeing?  We cannot allow this traumatised
family to continue to be torn apart in this way.?*

Please join us on Thursday and show support for Ms Musabi and other mothers
in similar situations.

Subject: [Anarchafeminists] Dysophia: Anarchy, Migration,
	Population and Climate Change]]
Message-ID: <ada24a0859234bd8ceb505b09141a244.squirrel@auk.riseup.net>

Call for Contributions: Anarchist Reflections on Migration, Population
and Climate Change

Increasingly links are being drawn between migration, population and
climate change. Mainstream responses are tied up around fears of
privilege and social position which go unexposed. However, other than
acknowledging these intersections they are poorly critiqued from
anarchist perspectives.  As "climate justice" becomes an increasingly
common rallying cry, it's time to create a dialogue between social
movements.  Anarchists need the tools for countering arguments which
demonise migration and resist the inherent oppression in population control.

With this issue of Dysophia we are looking for clear and informative
articles which dissect the areas where climate change, migration and
population overlap taking as our starting points anarchists critiques of
privilege and social divisions and capitalism. We are interested in
having a wide variety of perspectives that include as their starting
points social ecology, deep ecology, primitivism and class struggle,
queer and gender liberation politics. We hope this will allow us to move
to more critical and informed approaches.

Below are just a few of the topics we are interested in receiving
articles about (but don't be limited by them, or feel that you need to
stick to one). Key to what we are looking for are articles that are
readily accessible to all and do not assume a large background of
knowledge. They can be one page or twenty. Artwork also welcome.

All finished articles to reach us by 19th September, 2010. For
submissions or any questions please email
dysophia.ga at gmail.com<https://newyear.aktivix.org/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=INBOX&index=5273#>

not even any charges brought. The utter disgust at what has happened by
the general public has been encouraging and so to show support towards
Ian's family and the complete hatred and contempt we have for the legal
system that works in the favour of them and not us - we have decided to
call for a mass demo outside the Department of Public Prosecution. If you
