The Compass of Resistance takes Bristol on a cinematic journey across
the globe, presenting a series of encounters, dialogues, events and
screenings that will allow a rare, fresh and innovative look at the
notion of ‘resistance’ in international cinema. The main weekend of
films and workshops will take place at the Watershed on the 3-4 November; the compass needle turning to India, Russia, Jamaica, Algeria and England.
Beyond
the tightly focussed directional gaze of the Watershed programme, a
broad range of events will take place at city-wide venues including an
urban spoken word freestyle competition, amateur film exhibition,
celebration of Afrikan & Afro-Caribbean film culture, a showcase
evening of locally-based filmmakers, live musical performance and
D&VJ events. More info...
