A-Infos (en) Britain, glasgow anarchists: Glasgow Events Detailed ~~Glasgow Autonomy Update~~ 29.10.2016

Hi everyone, ---- Brief update this week. ---- Special attention to Demo in Paisley 
against ‘new Dungavel' on Tuesday 8th of November from 2. GET DOWN THERE!!! Lets get show 
them there's to be no more detention in Scotland, NO ONE IS ILLEGAL! ---- Love to you all, 
---- Glasgow A-Fed Autonomy Updaters ---- Africa in Motion Film Festival: Time ---- 28th 
October to 6th November ---- Various locations across Glasgow and Edinburgh - ---- see 
http://www.africa-in-motion.org.uk/programme/glasgow/ for Glasgow events Welcome to the 
11th edition of the Africa in Motion (AiM) Film Festival! We are back and ready to present 
a packed programme of screenings, discussions, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, pop-up 
screenings, workshops, exhibitions, live performances and more, across Edinburgh and 
Glasgow. Artistically innovative and thought-provoking, the programme takes on bold 
narratives through a range of features, documentaries and shorts.

This year we have taken a unique collaborative approach to curating the festival, with a 
number of different groups and organisations taking part in choosing what they want to see 
on screen. Residents from East Lothian and Paisley have programmed two pop-up film 
festivals taking place within their home regions. We have engaged young programmers to 
curate a package of events inspired by taking part in our ‘Reviving Scotland's Black 
History' summer school. Postgraduate students from the University of Glasgow made up the 
selection committee for the Short Film and Documentary Competitions.

This year our festival theme is ‘Time', through which we explore the past, present and 
future of Africa, looking at different eras of African history including slavery, 
colonisation, globalisation and future concepts of Africa. We will also look at cultural 
notions of time including a focus on Swahili time, the Amharic calendar, and the place of 
tradition in a modern world. By looking at different political, cultural and social epochs 
we aim to show how Africa has never been a place bound in past tradition separated from 
the rest of the world, but has always been influenced by and connected to global movements.

Our festival theme of ‘Time' is illustrated through our cover design and trailer created 
by South African artist, Diek Grobler, who in his own words, drew inspiration from ‘The 
way in which rock artists have been telling stories with pictures in the flickering light 
of fires on cave walls for centuries. Cinema in Africa is ancient!'

Gendered Violence in Activist Communities Workshop

GAS (contact organiser for directions thesalvagecollective@gmail.com)

Identifying, challenging and preventing gendered violence in your activist group, 
organisation and community

Free 1-day workshop facilitated by the salvage collective at Glasgow Autonomous Space.

The salvage collective brings together women, transgender and non-binary survivors and 
activists who experience gender oppression, violence and abuse in activist communities. We 
aim to provide a network to share experiences, resources, skills and build communities of 
belief, support and action.

We recently launched a report-zine and toolkit to help develop knowledge and understanding 
about gendered violence in activist communities 
(seehttps://projectsalvage.wordpress.com/research/)

We are very happy to facilitate a series of free one-day workshops funded by the Feminist 
Review Trust across the UK:

The workshop starts at 10am and finishes at 5:30pm at the latest. Food and refreshments 
will be provided. Activists of all genders are welcome.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO REGISTER TO ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP. Places are on a first come 
first served basis however if the workshops are over-subscribed priority will be given to 
activists with disciplinary, complaints, safer spaces, accountability and policy 
responsibilities.

When does it fail to flow? How often does it flow for you? Money is an energy. With a 
positive attitude you will draw the money that you need to you. You create your own reality.

Capitalism: A complex and global economic system where the means of production are owned 
by a minority and the majority sell their labour in order to gain the means to survive. 
The goods and services produced by those who sell their labour create a profit that 
belongs to the minority who own the means of production.

What is you personal relationship to money? Why do middle class art practitioners feel a 
safety in asking endlessly rhetorical questions? What has been your families' generational 
relationship to money?

And now - how do you survive? How much time do you have to be creative? What do you do to 
support other people beside yourself to be creative? What do you do to support people from 
life circumstances different from your own to be creative?

Do you feel precarious? Do you think of yourself as part of the precariat?

How can we help each other?

The #AMIF2016 runs over the whole weekend of the 5th & 6th November

Day 1: Making People Up, Saturday 5 November
Curated by Sarah Tripp
Making People Up manifests characters on the screen, stage and page. This programme of 
screenings, performances and readings in three ‘acts' will unfold within the exposed, 
theatrical machinery of Tramway 1.

Day 2: Between You and The Screen, Sunday 6 November
Curated by Ed Webb-Ingall
What is alive is not what's on the screen,' says filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, ‘but what is 
between you and the screen.' It is this proposition for the cinema auditorium as a social 
space that is the starting point for Between you and Screen, a day of moving-image 
presentations that reflect on notions of dissonance and disobedience in the cinema.

Ticketing: Prices are set by #AMIF2016 so our usual free/donations entry doesn't apply BUT 
if people are keen to go & money is an obstacle message us & we can almost certainly sort 
something out - just give us as much notice as possible!
