Brukman films screened in Burngreave

imc-sheffield | 26.02.2004 00:41 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Sheffield

A successful screening of short films about the struggles around the Brukman clothing factory in Buenos Aires, Argentina took place in Burngreave this evening.

Twenty souls braved the freezing wind this evening to congregate in Abbeyfield Park House, Burngreave. They witnessed the showing of a number of short films about the struggle for workers' control of the Brukman clothing factory in downtown Buenos Aires.

We were privileged to have Ana [part of the film collective that produced the films] also in attendance to provide further background.

Among the audience were people fresh from the Sherwood Eviction site and friends from the Chilean Solidarity Campaign. The screenings of "Control Obrero" - Workers Control, "La Fabrica Es Nuestra" - The Factory is Ours and "Obreras Sin Patron" - Workers without a Boss, were broken up with discussion in Spanish and English about the Argentinian history, Chile in the 1970s and the state of the UK now.

Ana writes:

La reunion y la de todos estos dias ha tenido la caracteristica de envolvernos en una nube de pensamientos comunes y de posibilidades de compartir nuestras historias de luchas, de resistencia, de liberacion. La propuesta de un noticiero obrero esta abierta para que la hagamos juntos. El proximo noticiero de Kino tendra que tener un documental de los obreros britanicos. Esto es parte de nuestra utopia, esa que vivimos y construimos cada dia.

lightning translation by anap:

The meeting and the one of all these days has wrapped us in a cloud of common thoughts and posibilities of sharing our stories of struggle, of resistance, of liberation. The proposal for a workers newsheet and newsreel is open for us to do together. The next newsheet of Kino will have to have a documentary of the British workers. This is part of our utopia, the one we build and live every day.

lancaster screenings tomorrow

Good to hear the screenings and discussion went well in Sheffield. Ana has very kindly agreed to make the trek from Cambridge to LANCASTER and back tomorrow (Fri 27th) to do the same. The (hastily re-organised) venue is the Folly Gallery, opposite the John O'Gaunt gate of the Castle/prison, time 7pm. Anyone who can get there is very welcome, we are asking for donations to cover the room hire and travel costs, but primarily for the collection Ana is making for the workers' struggle in Argentina. She has particularly requested that she would like to make contact with trade unionists and workers for continuing international dialogue and co-operation...see you there?

I was at the Sheffield meeting

Hi

I was at the Sheffield meeting last night and Ana's films are extremely interesting.

Seeing as the Brukman story happened very recently and does not seem to have been covered at all by the mainstream media, it is essential that the story gets out somehow in screenings of this kind.

The event was well-supported by Sheffield's small but loyal Latin-American community which made for quite a cosmopolitan evening.

Hopefully as many people as possible can get to the remainder of Ana's screening dates in the UK.

Cheers
