Full Unemployment Cinema screening

30th November 2014 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

A Mask if Always Active, (2014) By Ines Doujak and John Barker and Sweet Sugar Rage (1985) By The Sistren Theatre Collective

A Mask if Always Active, (2014) By Ines Doujak and John Barker, 28 mins. A musical on the themes of carnival/utopia and rebellion. The filmmakers will introduce the film.

Sweet Sugar Rage (1985) By The Sistren Theatre Collective, 45 minutes. A popular Jamaican women’s troupe uses improvisation and theater as consciousness-raising tools for both rural and urban audiences. Their performances speak directly to the daily experiences of women–the least empowered workers, who labor long hours for low wages with no benefits or rights to organize for better conditions. Using role-play and interviews with female cane workers, the collective develops dramatizations which analyze social issues and pinpoint their concerns. This film has kindly been made available by Cinenova distribution. We will be collecting donations on the day to cover the screening fee for this film.
