Hope you all enjoyed November 30th strikes, pickets and demos. The
political climate might be hotting up but the weather's growing cooler
and we've whacked the heating up at The Space Project. Although
knowing that every 1% increase in energy bills plunges another 40,000
homes into fuel poverty disinclines us to contribute to the massive
profits of the energy companies. That's why we're going to Fuel
Poverty Campaign Plotting today, Sunday 4th at 1pm at The Space
Project.

You won't need your coat on for the evening though as it'll be feisty
enough with extraordinary folk songs of ordinary folk by Ewan McLennan
and friends Jimmy Connell and others. Bring pennies for the door and
the bar and bring your songs. 8pm, arrive prompt, it might get packed.

 If we had accomodation (but we don't) you might as well stay over
because the week is busy too. Monday 5th at 7.30pm is Plan C for
Leeds: strategy discussions on how are we to go beyond the current
movements and create political coherence without dogma?

If these revolutionary times remind you of another, maybe come down
Tuesday to revisit 1968 with "Medium Cool" the latest offerings from
Militant Cinema, again at 7.30pm. A 60s counter culture classic that
is part film, part documentary and famously contains scenes shot
amidst the actual riots surrounding the Convention.

Weds 7th is the Leeds Surrealist Group's third journal launch
"Phosphor" on the theme of "Memory Reclaimed". 7.30pm, and including a
special screening of the latest Jan Svankmayer's film "Surviving Life:
Theory and Practice".

You can keep your slippers on Thursday but back out Friday 9th for a
Calais Info Talk by No Borders at 7.30.

All this at The Space Project, 37-38 Mabgate Green.
See www.spaceproject.org.uk for more details
and email wearethespaceproject at gmail.com for praise, criticism,
detail, collaboration or to put on your own events.
See you up the front!

Hi all,
and apologies for the late digest of events at The Space Project, Leeds.
It's been a busy couple of months but it all seems quiet this week
with just a couple of booked in upcoming events in December.
Thursday 15th there is an open discussion on "Social Cuts and Class:
Are we really All in This Together?" Exploring the renewed political
focus on meritocracy, the interplay of class and cuts, and what role
gender and disability have within this. This is at 18.30 and some
suggested readings are up on the event listing for people to catch up
on the topic beforehand.
Tuesday 20th, at 19.30 is the last Militant Cinema of the year, "The
Working Class Go to Heaven" who's politics and life are completely
overhauled when he loses a finger at work and becomes radicalised.

We're expecting a snowstorm of events to hail down come the New Year
and we know there's an antifascist films and events weekend in the
pipeline amongst other meetings, seminars, talks and showings. We hope
to finally host the Greek event that was cancelled earlier, and
there's a couple of thrilling series' unfolding: an economics course
is in the pipeline, as well as history series 2 focusing on Luddites
and interlocking with discussions and more on housing issues.
