Thurs 6-11 @ 6:30 - Online Antifascist Documentary Screening and Discussion with CIIF Renegade Film Club
Please join us for a public anti-fascist documentary film screening and community discussion.
The format is simple, we'll post the meeting link* on the PolRev and fb event pages shortly before we go live, then you can tune in with your dinner or snacks in your own comfy spot at home and we will all watch together on the shared meeting link screen. Feel free to text chat or ignore it completely during the screening, then afterwards we can all unmute and discuss the film(s). These will be pretty loosely organized discussions.
Depending on the length of the film(s) expect typically about 60-90 minutes of watch time and about 60 minutes for discussion. These are all publicly available films so you are also free to watch them on your own time and jump straight into the discussion, or just watch and leave, whatever you want to do! We don't take attendance and there are no grades.
This first one will be online. We can do in person as well later, (have projector, will travel,) it's whatever people want! Better times? Days? Movie suggestions? Let us know.
Episode 1

*We use a free and encrypted meeting platform called Jitsi, it is very similar in function/layout to zoom but does not require a download or even to make an account, works on browser, is more secure and anonymous, and does not harvest your conversations for AI training data without your consent. There is a phone app, and for limited hardware or locked down devices it may help, but in most cases is not necessary to download and should work just fine from browser.
