Mayday Short Film Night

The (A) Centre, Friday, May 1 at 08:00 PM GMT+1

On Thursday 1st May to celebrate May Day, as part of the Radical Film Network’s Workers Rights screenings at multiple locations, will be screening a number of short films selected from a list compiled by the RFN.

We’d encourage everyone to get along to see what is on offer. The selected films represent a wide range of countries, styles, and approaches to the theme of workers’ rights.  This series of short films and one trailer are as follows:

Manifestoon (1995), Jesse Drew, USA: an experimental cartoon version of the Communist Manifesto.

Le casa che eravamo, The houses we were (2018), Arianna Lodesetero, Italy: An archival, polyphonic and entangled demonstration into a charitable low-income housing institute.

Republic, (2023), Rosie Reed Hillman, UK: as the washing machine whirs, three women care for their young children repeating actions they carry out each day. An immersive and acutely observed insight into the ’private’ sphere and women’s everyday labour. 

#Precarity Story, 2020, Lorena Cervera, UK/Spain: tells the story of Isabel, a cleaner, hourly-paid teacher and researcher at the same British university. Filmed during the 2018-2020 UK higher education strikes, this documentary exposes the reality of the academic precariat.

Studs Terkel Remembers: the Haymarket Affair (2000), John de Graaf, Mirko Popadic, and Alan Harris Stein, USA: Portions of this video were shot for Rocking the Boat, a documentary on the labour movement. Honouring the 139th anniversary of the Haymarket Affair, an important moment in labour history and the origin event to May Day.

£10 entry - £5 concession.

Well I'm back in the US just in time to remind folks in the DC-MD-VA area that Filmfest DC starts today. They've included 2 films: DIYA and HAPPY BIRTHDAY that ran in our recent #NAFF. DIYA is under TRUST NO ONE category and Happy Birthday under ARABIA NIGHTS. If you're a foreign film fan, this festival is a solid one. https://filmfestdc.org/

Save Lough Neagh Film Festival And Conference

Oxford Island, Saturday, May 9 at 09:00 AM GMT+1

"ANNOUNCING THE SAVE LOUGH NEAGH FILM FESTIVAL & CONFERENCE
9am Sat-Sun 9-10 May 2026, the weekend before the March for Lough Neagh

Register for a free ticket in our bio or saveloughneagh.com

The Lough, is dying before our eyes. Decades of mismanagement, political negligence, pollution and commercial extraction of its resources have left Lough Neagh blighted by a pestilence of blue-green algae, choking the life out of the Lough and putting it at risk of total ecosystem collapse.

Following the success of our exhibition ‘Natures Revolt’ which sought to blend art and traditions of resistance, the Save Lough Neagh campaign are organising this follow up event, to bring our community together for a two day festival of eco-socialism, resistance to extraction and exploitation, and artistic expression - to show collectively what Lough Neagh means to us all, and to galvanise the many thousands of people who have been impacted by this crisis. Acting together, we have the power to push for system change, secure a future for Lough Neagh, and demand accountability from those who have plundered it and profiteered from its destruction.

So come down to the festival for some of our film screenings, radical talks and panel discussions, or to hear some great music from local campaigners who have been staunch planet defenders for many years.

No to pollution
No to profiteering
No to political negligence
