1984 Screening @ Everything 4 Everyone

E4e | 24.07.2006 14:13 | Free Spaces | Repression | Social Struggles | London

This weeks E4e cinema screening at Everything4Everyone (also know as Dalston theatre), will be 1984, the film adapatation of the classic George Orwell novel.

This coming Tuesday (25/7) at 7.30pm there will be a screening of 1984, the film adapatation of George Orwell's classic book, which is an unnerving and stunningly accurate foresight of present day life. Just like the book the film is twisted, beautiful and brilliantly told.

Every Tuesday the E4e Cinema screens different cultural films from around the world, showing and telling the everyday stories of individuals and communities. Celebrating the different cultures and customs, these communities have, while often highlighting the ways in which thay overcome the challenges they can sometimes face against their own very existence.

When possible there are also whole info nights that take place with films, documentaries, speakers and talk about the issues raised in the films. If you would like to host an info night, on a particular isuue, please get involved with making it happen. Also, if you know any good films that you think should be shown please do the same!

There is also guerrilla cinema screenings of documentaries on
sundays, outside in the open air, after food not bombs.

Hopefully see you on Tuesday! If you come early there is a Samba drumming workshop from 5pm, every Tuesday at Everything4Everyone.

1984- the film censors the book, and 'Brazil' is far better anyway

24.07.2006 16:33

I've said it before, and it is worth repeating again, the recent(ish) film version of 1984 censors out a key scene from the book, namely when Winston agrees to commit ANY TERRORIST ACT, including attacks against children, in the name of the revolution. Removing this crucial part of the plot means that the film treats its audience as if they were idiots.

Made at almost the same moment as the 1984 film was Terry Gilliam's vastly superior take on the book 1984, his masterpiece 'Brazil'. The spirit of Orwell's vision is captured perfectly in Tom Stoppard's breathtaking screenplay. Watch 'Brazil', and count just how many of the depraved acts shown have become commonplace in Blair's new world. On the other hand, many of the specifics of '1984' belong to the class-ridden, post-WW2, early-cold-war, pre-1960's, which is only a problem when you try to make a literal film version after 1960.

So READ 1984, but WATCH Brazil.
