This Friday, November 21st, we will be screening films that encapsulate the spirit of antifascism. This is the second Antifa Film Screening at Millenium Film Workshop and this time we are focusing on the ideas of antifascist futures, critical fabulations, and antifascist dreams. This event, like the last one, is in response to the recent attacks on trans people, queer people, people of color, and working-class people all over the country. We are also showing films from outside the U.S which remind us that the struggle against repression is a global struggle. 

We received many submissions that show the power of hope and resistance. Many of these films were made without film crews and expensive equipment, which is a reminder of the tools at our fingertips. The internet and modern software inundate us with daily capitalist messaging, but it also gives the power to document and share our acts of resistance, to imagine futures even within our oppressive system. 

As filmmakers we believe in the power of fighting oppression through art, we believe in art that resists, art that inspires, art that starts revolutions. This event focuses on films with direct and relevant political messaging about the oppressive systems we live under, and most importantly how we resist them and how we dream of a better future within and outside of these systems. 

To keep in mind, we as curators wanted to include  everyone’s struggles, perspectives, and mindsets, but there were so many films sent that we could only show a few. 

The event will be held at Millenium Film Workshop from 7 pm to late (with  intermission) 

We will also have some experimental music playing during the intermission and after the films by some local artists. Bands included: Poppy Cabinet, Dreamer, Olive Jones, Kate Mohanty
