"Behind the Screams" - a documentary by Martin Sorrondeguy (of hardcore bands LOS CRUDOS and LIMP WRIST) about the U.S Latino/Chicago punk scene, politicized by racism and poverty, their relationship with South American bands, the D.I.Y ethic and the social issues tying them in with broader communities. Leads into an open discussion;

“More Than Music? - subculture and movement”, a discussion where we hope to share perspectives on how we can best use subversive currents to participate in social struggles.

Sunday 10th:
Movie night, with vegan cafe, from 6pm @ Kebele social centre, 14 Robertson Rd, Bristol BS5 6JY
Showing 2 films from 8pm. The first film is a DIY doc entitled 'Actions versus Repressions', by the anarcho-art group Children of Bakunin & Moscow ABC. Made in 2009, with English subtitles, it focuses on the struggles of Russian anarchists & anti-fascists in the face of ongoing repression.

The second is Alix Lambert's 'The Mark of Cain' a documentary about the forbidden culture of prisoner tattoos in Russia. Much more than tattoo culture though, this doc lays bare the true horror of the Russian prison system, and you wonder how on earth Lambert gained access to some of Russia's most brutal prisons.

Cafe proceeds benefit a Moscow anti-fascist on the run after an attempt on their life.
Hosted by Bristol Anarchist Black Cross – supporting anarchist and class struggle prisoners first and foremost, but also of the position that every prisoner is a political prisoner - http://bristolabc.wordpress.com
