Saturday 22 March 2008, 19.00

A night of revolutionary political films, demonstrating the formal rigour of truly radical cinema. Classic militant films by artist László Moholy-Nagy and René Vautier are followed by Jean Genet’s extraordinary appearance in a film for Civil Rights activist Angela Davis, and the notorious S.C.U.M. Manifesto – originally written by Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol.
