Cuban socialism places human beings at the centre of society and development.

The film showing will be followed by a discussion as part of the "Socialism into the 21st Century" speaking tour organised by Rock Around the Blockade, a campaign set up by the Revolutionary Communist Group in solidarity with Cuba. Visiting Cuban, Jesus Garcia, will lead a discussion about socialism in Cuba, with a focus on the environmental achievements. Jesus is an investigator at the Institute of Philosophy, part of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment and delegate of the Municipal Assembly of People's Power. Also participating in the discussion will be experienced activists from the permaculture movement in Britain.

At 9pm the social will kick off with a Bolivian band playing 'Andean ethno-music', followed by up-and-coming local band The 27 CLUB, who play a mixture of hip hop and funk-rock. The social will be a good opportunity to have more informal discussion with our Cuban comrades and also with a local permaculture expert.

Fri 29 Feb - GIG booked by Paul Kelly, A Better Noise, booking taken by Pauline gigs(at)starandshadow.org.uk COPY: BARK! is a Manchester/London trio of improvisers. They say: BARK!'s music is built up predominantly from quickly-decaying "atoms" in all instruments, and ranges from detailed slow-moving textures, through complex interlocking grooves, to the most frenzied kinetic noise. Solos are rare, and most of the (collective) gestures and textures occur at and explore the intersections between acoustic and electronic sound.

Douglas Sirk Season

La Habanera, Douglas Sirk, 1937, Germany, 100mins, U, 16mm

An example of Sirk's German work which treads similar melodramatic ground to later Hollywood masterpieces. Set in Puerto Rico where a local land owner marries Astree, a Swedish woman, who grows to hate her husband. Critics have pointed out that the tale of an Ayrian beauty in a ‘dangerous’ exotic location is a bit too much from a film made in Germany during the Third Reich but then complexity, subversiveness, and sympathy characterize Sirks work, you can decide for yourselves.

Magnificent Obsession, Douglas Sirk, 1954, US, 108mins, U, 35mm

The breakthrough film which launched Sirk's Hollywood melodrama era and Also Rock Hudsons career.

Thurs 20 Mar -Jack stevenson. (Christo) JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF GRINDHOUSE An approx. 90 minute lecture/screening (on 16mm) by Jack Stevenson

    There has been much interest in the old American movie-trade term, “Grindhouse” ever since hype started building for Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF and Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR. European writers have generally done a pretty good job defining the term, and yet it embraces a much richer slice of film and cultural history than most people know. Given by an American film writer (and for decades himself a ‘Grindhouse enthusiast’), this lecture/screening constitutes an entertaining plunge back into the dusty realms of American B-movie lore while at the same time attempting to define the term with as much scientific objectivity as possible. Makes for an informally enjoyable and educational evening. (Film time is about 40 minutes, the rest is talk)

- Douglas Sirk season

All that Heaven Allows, 1955, US, Douglas Sirk, 89mins, U, 35mm

It ought to be called 'all that society allows' because it's about a woman who is denied happiness by those who purport to love her and to whom she has devoted her life. She has lost her husband and is losing her children as they grow up and leave. It is a tradgedy which is so banal in a way and yet in Sirks hands it seems to strike a beautiful and deadly blow to the heart. Rock Hudson plays a fantastic nature boy, such a seductive counterpoint to the society Jayne Wyman's character suddenly recognizes as empty and cruel. CONFIRMED

Wed 26 Mar - 7pm, "Divided states of America" The legendary post-avant-garde group Laibach are documented in this film of their 2004 USA tour.

Sun 30 Mar - Douglas sirk season

Written on the Wind, 1956, US, Douglas Sirk, US, 1956, 99mins, PG, 35mm

After the success of films like Magnificent Obsession and All that Heaven Allows Universal allowed Sirk the freedom to explore more adult themes. He also received bigger budgets. Written in the Wind is perhaps the ultimate highest order of high production value 'trash'. The quotation marks indicate that the film is no such thing but rather an awesome work of genius. It's technicolour cinematography is what retinas were probably made for. Features impotence, alchololism and nymphomania. Starring Lauren Bacall alongside Sirk stalwart Rock Hudson. CONFIRMED
