This is a relaxed afternoon of films selected from Document Film  
Festival and Plantation Productions. Two films will be screened  
followed by questions and answers session with a panel of the film- 
makers

The Govan Banners is a film about the Spanish Civil War made by Govan  
Seniors Film Club based at Plantation Productions, inspired by  
banners from 1938 which were found in an attic in 1979 by one of the  
group members. The banners link Govan with the Spanish Civil War  
through the Scottish democracy movement. The film shows the group’s  
quest to find out more about this.

You Always Think There’s Nothing There is a thought provoking film  
made with the 'Damned Rebel Bitches' - an independent social history  
group of mature women based at Tollcross Community Centre in  
Edinburgh. The film explores what poverty means today for older  
people across Scotland’s capital and looks behind the glamorous  
façades of tourism and culture. A story about self respect! Part of  
'Making A Difference, Stories From The Fight Against Poverty In  
Scotland. www.makingadifferencescotland.co.uk

beautifully shot film documents the struggles and aspirations of a  
group of fully-recognised refugees who face being moved from the  
disused building they occupy to a prison-like compound.

Despite difficult living conditions, language barriers and hostility  
from locals, some determined refugee inhabitants attempt to take a  
stand against the local authorities to make their voices heard.

Followed by Q&A.
