Teaching the Revolution Film Festival

Maize Dreams, Galway Zapatista Projects, in association with ecosoc, presents an exciting film festival featuring three eye-opening and undeniably inspiring movies with a genuine revolutionary spirit: The Take (23rd Jan), Granito de Arena (24th Jan) and The 4th World War (26th Jan) all at 7:30 in the Siobhan McKenna theatre, Arts Millennium Building, NUIG. Entry fee to all movies is €3/€2 cons.,

In “The Take”, director Avi Lewis, one of Canada's most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic manifesto for the 21st century. In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - The Take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

“Granito de Arena” by Jill Freidberg documents the efforts of over 100,000 teachers, parents, and students fighting to defend the country’s public education system from the devastating impacts of economic globalization in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is a compelling and unsettling story of resistance, repression, commitment, and solidarity.

“The Fourth World War” by Richard Rowley and Jacqueline Soohen was shot on the frontlines of struggles spanning five continents where the mainstream media cannot go. The Fourth World War is the untold human story of men and women who resist being annihilated in the current global conflict. This film captures the spirit of resistance: it is as beautiful and global as humanity itself. It includes struggles from Palestine, Iraq, South Africa, Argentina, Mexico, New York and South Korea.

The Mayor of Galway Niall O Brolchain will officially open the festival on Tuesday the 23rd at 7:30. The festival also includes a presentation by The Irish Times correspondent for Latin America Michael McCaughan on Wednesday 24th of January at 7:30 before the film “Granito de Arena”.

The festival will close with a fundraising night on Friday 26th at Monroes
(upstairs) with DJ Angelic Orange and his revolutionary grooves and world funk. Entry fee to the fundraising night is €5/€3 conc, doors open 9:30 pm.
All profits from the festival go to an autonomous pre-medical school in a Zapatista indigenous community in Chiapas, Mexico.
