Cinema as Assembly
13/03/2025 — 15/03/2025
In a time of global crises, how can contemporary cinematic practices align with and support political imaginations striving for social justice and antifascist liberation? How do they help us rehearse these imaginations?
Cinema as Assembly is a three-day study circle that invites the public to come together – as an audience, as thinkers and as makers – to explore cinema’s potential as both a method and medium that can help rehearse collective organisation, militant imagination and liberatory transformation.

CARGADORES
14/11/2018 — 19/11/2018
28/11/2018 — 03/12/2018
Cargadores is the first in a series of ten films that come further out of Joëlle de La Casinière and Michel Bonnemaison’s seven-year stay on the American continent. The ‘cargadores’ referred to in the title are Cuzco’s street porters, human beings who carry on their back a huge bundle with all the sorrows of the world. Their load can be sometimes so big that they seem to disappear underneath it, becoming a part of the mass of objects they carry.

John M Armleder was still very young (between 12 and 15 years old) when he joined up with a number of friends and, encouraged by their art teacher and rowing instructor, founded the artist collective Ecart. Ecart organised entertaining, creative and artistic sports and leisure activities and later developed into a bookshop, gallery and printing house, which printed collective artworks and publications on paper.
