Photos from Bread and Roses 27th October 2009

November 24 - Tout Va Bien

Tout Va Bien is set in 1972, i.e. four years after the “events” of 1968. President De Gaulle and his successor president Pompidou had rolled back the would-be revolution and the political right wing held France in its grip. And yet “everything’s fine” (tout va bien). Relations between people have changed. A factory is occupied, a woman striker phones her husband and tells him to mind the children, a Communist Party militant sells party literature in a supermarket and is ignored by young people.

Director - Jean Luc Godard, 95 minutes

Film starts at 7.45 and will be followed by discussion. Entry to film £3 or £2 for unwaged, low waged or students.

Battle of Algiers photos

Photos from The Battle of Algiers 21st September

Hi all!

I'm the film coop's resident photographer - you'll probably see me bobbing about at the next screening trying to capture the atmosphere of the discussions following the screenings and trying to do some justice to all the hard work and effort that goes into making these screenings happen. Here's a few photos from the last screening - the excellent Battle of Algiers which I had seen previously when at Uni some 10 years ago or more. I was really pleased to have the opportunity to see it again with a more grown up head on my shoulders, and gain an insight into what an contemporary audience made of it.
