14 June 2009 THOSE WHO DANCE
Mayyasa al-Malazi and Camilla Cancantata UK 2006, 49 mins
Those Who Dance tells the story of members of a small community in Rossport, Co. Mayo, Ireland, who have resisted Shell’s attempts to construct a high pressure gas pipeline and refinery across their land, which would have potentially devastating environmental and social consequences. The film compares their situation to that of the Ogoni people of the Niger Delta, where Ken Saro-Wiwa and nine others were murdered in 1996 because of their non-violent opposition to Shell’s oil extraction operations and gas flaring. The film offers a powerful critique of corporate practice and philosophy, and challenges viewers to consider the impacts of the oil industry throughout the world, now that the reality of climate change is widely accepted.
THE POWER OF COMMUNITY:HOW CUBA SURVIVED PEAK OIL
Faith Morgan, US 2006, 53 mins, EST, [tbc]
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba’s economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanised, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens.
Discussion led by Mayyasa al-Malazi, Camilla Cancantata and Cuba Solidarity Campaign
We are also including a 7-minute film at the start, made by Anna Bowman. It is SELF BUILD: FROM NORTH LONDON TO THE FIELDS OF CHESHAM, made last year and incorporating footage shot by ex-servicemen and their families as they built their new homes and moved from Willesden to Chesham in the 1950s.
Booking information:All three films have been classified by Camden's licensing department as educational and informative, [E] for exempt. This means there is no age barrier for our audience; all are welcome.

About the London Socialist Film Co-op
Now in its eighteenth year, the London Socialist Film Co-op promotes socialist culture by arranging screenings where people can see films and discuss afterwards.
We show recent cinema releases and pictures that are rarely screened because they are old films, foreign films or were censored.
We encourage our members and like-minded film makers to make films and videos and we are always interested to hear of appropriate films – low budget shorts or campaign videos as well as fully funded professional programmes – which we might want to screen.
We welcome members, old or new, who would like to help plan and organise activities and we are very happy to give advice to anyone interested in setting up a similar film co-op elsewhere.
LSFC members are encouraged to send in suggestions for future showings and discussions at any time up to 1 April 2008
The LSFC is a community co-operative, registered in England and Wales, Reg. No 29459R
Supported by the Co-op
Sponsored by: BECTU, NATFHE, CWU Central London, CWU London NW C&C, GMB/APEX Holborn, GLATUC, Brent Trades Council, Camden Trades Council, Hammersmith & Fulham Trades Council, Sutton & Merton TUC, SEPCO North Area.
