Hey Barry, looks good this - unfortunately we'll be busy with working upto our jumble sale in Nelson on the Saturday after - otherwise I'd be well interested.

Thinking about films, I'd love to see some of those Mujeres Libres documentaries mentioned a couple of NAN's back sometime.

Michele has the projector you know - so if you wanted to show any docs/films at NAN we could bring it along - big screen and all!!

Good to hear from you.

Cheery cheers Mitch

Iattended the Projectile 20006 Anarchist Film Festival in Newcastle Upon Tyne. It was held at the new Star and Shadow Cinema in the former Tyne Tees TV Warehouse which is in the process of being renovated by the Star and Shadow Collective which Projectile is a part of.

The films I watched included The Angry Brigade/Persons Unknown.
Libertarias directed by Vicente Aranda which was based on the role of Mujeres Libres during the Spanish Civil War. It was a gripping film with a tragic ending. Durruti en la Revolucion Espana directed by Paco Rios and based on the biography of Durruti by Abel Paz. What to do in case of fire was directed by Gregor Schnitzler. Democracy isnt built on demonstators bodies. David Massey. A film about Israeli Anarchists opposing the Israeli Security Fence.

There were also a number of interesting workshops on topics as diverse as Respect, Class struggle in the North East, the Rossport Solidarity Camp in Ireland, the Makhnovist Movement during the Russian Civil War and the setting up of Social centres in the UK.

A number of useful contacts were made with North Eastern Anarchists who have been invited to the NAN.

Hi Barry, thanks for posting about the Projectile Film Festival. It sounds as if it was really interesting and it would be great to get hold of some of those films for a possible filmshow in Burnley.

Thanks Barry, sorry to have missed that because of our jumble sale.

Hey Michele & Fred, this is the film we want.

Libertarias dir. Vicente Aranda, 1996, Spain, 125 mins

This epic melodrama follows several very different women drawn into the Spanish Civil War. Their lives as fighters, friends and lovers are set against a backdrop of sexism, political backstabbing, and eventually tragedy.


Available to buy for under a tenner from Amazon so we might as well get it, and add it to NAN film collection - just going to check the projector handbook to see if Region 1 USA DVD compatible with our equipment (did I tell you I found the Projector handbook michele in one of me clearouts! ;D).

Anywise, I think it is compatable cause I ordered a dvd from the States before and that was fine.

Report back later on progress - then we can get on planning our film showing.
