More information on each film:

On Sunday, CENSORING PALESTINE explores how the topic of the genocide in Gaza is being censored in the British mainstream and social media, and the ways terrorism law is being used to silence dissent, through dawn raids, arrest and detention. Interviewees include Ken Loach and Alexei Sayle and Roger Waters as well as journalists Jonathan Cook, and Peter Osborne. One notable section focuses on police treatment of the Bristol peace activists, the Filton 24, who are all awaiting trial having at various times broken into Elbit Systems arms manufacturer site to protest its supply of weapons to the Israeli military.

Our annual INTERNATIONAL SHORT-FILM SHOWCASE brings to attention the multiple and varied ways in which filmmakers from around the world reflect the world around us. Sometimes silly, sometimes serious but always challenging and innovative, this year's selection cover a wide variety of formats: from video-essays or experimental works to straightforward documentaries or fiction. From animation to music videos. Filmmakers explore the possibilites of film to engage the audience in thought and reflection

A powerful documentary, SUDAN REMEMBER US, directed by award-winning journalist and filmmaker Hind Meddeb, offers an urgent and moving portrayal of Sudan’s ongoing counter-revolutionary war, one largely ignored by mainstream media. In 2019 The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. The film begins in the streets of Khartoum, where murals honour the martyrs of a revolution that began with hope and defiance. Through intimate interviews, protest footage, and stories of grassroots resistance, the film reveals the central role of women, youth, and ordinary people in the fight for freedom. At its core, the film captures more than political struggle—it showcases how poetry, music, and dance became revolutionary tools. It revisits the horrific massacre in June of that year; a calculated act to crush a popular uprising. Both a tribute to courage and a warning about the violence of repression, this documentary is a vital chronicle of resistance against dictatorship, poverty, and imperialist-backed regimes.
