This weeks Film: Occupation 101

A documentary covering the history of the Israel Palestine conflict, and some of the day to day experiences of people there. Presents several sides of the story, including Israeli peace movements.

This weeks Discussion: Gaza and Occupation

We can explore some of the themes of the film, and look back at the events of last year, and the quite brutal incursion into Gaza over last Christmas/New Year. We can also look forward, at what we can do this month, and onwards in solidarity with those struggling for peace.

(Ben or whoever is doing the screening will be volunteering too, if you want to help out, you're more than welcome! If it's your first time just let us know and we can come a bit early and show you the ropes)

Come and discuss how we can kick 2010 off with a bang, and how to make the party as creative, exciting and participatory as it can be.

Apparently there'll be vegan cupcakes, bring your ideas, bring yourselves, and bring a coat, it's still winter you know...

The Peoples Cinema, films for the people!

This weeks film: Encounters at the End of the World

A film by Werner Herzog, exploring the antarctic, the people that live and work there, and reflecting on our lives and experiences on our planet.

This week there will be donation-ware popcorn, dal and rice. I made enough dal for about 8 people, and it'll be available from about 7:30, so come get some cheap, tasty vegan eats. Popcorn is essentially unlimited.

(Ben or whoever is doing the screening will be volunteering too, if you want to help out, you're more than welcome! If it's your first time just let us know and we can come a bit early and show you the ropes)

C4 is open to anyone who enjoys drawing - from manga to children's comics to graphic novels to one-panel cartoons - and would like to just come and sit down with us to have coffee and draw and talk... There are people from loads of different backgrounds and with very different drawing styles. One person in the group is a freelance comic artist, but beginners are more than welcome! Generally every Saturday session is very flexible, people can drop in at any time and although we often have group projects and activities, there's no compulsion to take part in them. At the end of last year we also had a 24-hour comic event: 5 of us stayed up 24 hours to draw a whole 24-page comic. We'll certainly be doing that again this year.

This weeks film: Life and Debt

A film exploring the effects of the World Bank, IMF and Structural adjustment Programs on the island of Jamaics. With strong voices, powerful music and an insightful look behind a country popular as a tourist destination, this film explores the problems of our globalised economy and the impacts it causes.

This weeks discussion: Economies, Capitalism and Alternatives

Looking over the film, we could explore the alternatives that have been suggested and tried to our present monetary system, and ways we can change our behaviour as individuals and as a community to build these. We can also look at ction we can take to support those countries heavilt in debt to the IMF and World Bank.

TED Chat is an opportunity for thought provoking discussion on a wide range of topics. It is open to all and no prior knowledge is required.

The format is that we'll watch one of the TED Talks, and then there will be an opportunity for group discussion. Usually we'll cover 2-3 talks in an evening. Some weeks they may all be on a particular theme, such as sustainable development.

If you have a TED talk you'd particularly like discussed please contact me : alex [at] alexrice.co.uk

This Week :

This weeks theme is how our beliefs about the underlying nature of a problem affects the kinds of solutions we are open to. The two talks are :

Devdutt Pattanik : East vs West

Malcom Gladwell : What we can learn from spaghetti sauce

The Peoples Cinema, films for the people!

Come and enjoy a regular series of thought provoking documentaries, lesser known cinema and general oddities. We are fully liscensed to sell tea and cake to the audience :)

Cafe open from 7:30pm, films begin at 8pm, stay around for discussion afterwards.

This weeks film: The First Wave and other Shorts

A short film looking at some of the first islands that are being evacuated due to rising sea levels, and the difficulties and trauma of abandoning your ancestral home. I'll also show some other short films around the theme of the human impact of climate change.

This weeks discussion: Climate Justice, after Copenhagen

The word has been thrown around a lot during the protests in Copenhagen, but what does the word mean in practice? How can we build and maintain a truly global movement, and what are we willing to do as individuals to ensure a fair life and future for all inhabitants of the Earth. We can also explore climate migration, and the future we face if we do nothing.
