SOUTHWARK.TV SCREENING - March 2005 At a screening event last year, John Lynes, brother of Tony Lynes of the local Pensioners Action Group, spoke about the situation in Palestine as a member of Christians for Peace, a group which reconciles Jews and Palestinians - the same group that has suffered a kidnapping in Baghdad. It was a fascinating talk about the work of a group truly dedicated to peace and brought to us the quiet strength of unlikely individuals doing unsung work of inestimable value. |

Southwark.TV December Screening Monday 6th December at the Blue Elephant Theatre on Bethwin Rd SE5.There was a special Brazil feature, material also came from Cooltan Arts, Rob Wray, Lilian Baylis Technology School - a new partner of Southwark.TV (a secondary school just over the border in Lambeth), plus films made by young people at Salmon Youth Centre. Salmon showed an imaginative and well constructed film on the dangers of recreational drugs, plus a classy rap on gun crime. Iracema Nascimento, London-based Briazilian journalist, gave a talk on the history of community media and community video as a tool of social change in Brazil. She showed three pieces of work: an extract from a film shot in the far north of Brazil in the Amazonian territories thousands of miles from Sao Paolo; a special message from new Southwark.TV partner, AIC, based in Belo Horizonte ... AIC (Community ImageAssociation) who now receive sponsorship from Petrobras, a national oil company and in return produce a weekly TV show broadcast on their local station; thirdly, a documentary produced by teenagers at AIC. Back in 1980s there was a necessary overlap in local media between local and national politics as the country sought to emerge from two decades under dictatorship. State censorship of news stories detailing industrial unrest failed as people shot videos and posted them to one another. The evening finished with two films by Rob Wray whose recent specialism in film workshops has been to work with young men outside employment and education and some of whom are also at risk of participating in crime. Bar, free food, free films, chat, networking, relaxing informal ambience. Young people, project leaders, filmmakers, trainers, teachers young and old ... all welcome. |

Voters hacked off - but unlikely to vote ! Giving a talk recently to a hundred or so students from London College of Communication I was asking them a series of questions, seeking quick responses and a steer for me in how best to pitch the talk I had been invited to give - about "Southwark.TV".I was learning that most students watched TV every day, did not much respect the output, went online daily, in this sample were interested in careers in graphic & web design, with just a few aiming at broadcast television. TRUST ? NO CHANCE: ACTION ? NO CHANCE. For some reason I then asked: "Are there people here who no longer trust the Prime Minister ?" It was amazing ! Where generally in response to my questions hands were being feebly offered up, at this question hands shot up. You know, like the zealous swot in the classroom. Not only that, I could not see anyone who had not put their hand up. The entire room was politicised and showing what it thought of recent events. Or was it ? I paused, a little shocked at the release of energy the question had triggered. I ventured one more question: "Who's going to vote (in the next election) ?" Guess what ? About five people put up a tentative hand. That is depressing. To have such a powerful and general feeling of dissatisfaction ... and for it to be matched by an almost uniform lethargy. Well, you get the Government you deserve. And this is a Government that supports the slaughter of Fallujans in the name of 'democracy'. Blair and Bush are killing ordinary Iraqis, alright - in pursuit of "insurgents", in order to enable elections to take place where people can vote. Meanwhile here in the UK people cannot be bothered !! It makes one weep. |

November Screening The latest Southwark.TV Screening was an excellent night of local films broadly themed around the Elephant & Castle, its people, history and future regeneration proposals.See Testimonials for an appraisal of the evening where "something special was happening". Young and not so young enjoyed a full evening in the Blue Elephant Theatre, with bar and hot snacks (provided free by Community TV Trust who host these events and continue running Southwark.TV despite the Council cutting funding by 100% in July). The evening featured films by Ilaria Mare and Bruce Webb - documentary, drama, consultation video shot on a Bermondsey estate, and a first film by participants at Castle Arts as part of the Southwark.TV training programme. Hannah Foulds, a local young filmmaker and aspiring journalist, showed an excerpt of her graduate film exploring the vast regeneration plans and local people's knowledge of these plans. Enthusiastic debate peppered the event and continued in the bar after the screening closed with Bruce Webb's powerful drama, shot on the Heygate estate, about friendship between two war veterans - one from World War ll and the other from the Balkans. A number of local people, not themselves filmmakers, attended the event and helped make the evening memorable. |
