Cantina Communal // Movie Night

“This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
— Memorial & Screening // Shake-the-day-off-Hangout 

We exchange thoughts about comrade Aaron Bushnell - Rest in P o w e r

This week we gather around one of the most urgent political films ever made:
The Battle of Algiers

Gillo Pontecorvo’s reconstruction of the Algerian struggle against French colonial rule remains a masterclass in political cinema — stark, documentary-like, unsentimental. The film dissects occupation, insurgency, repression, and the mechanics of state violence with chilling clarity.

it's 2 effin' hours - so we start sharp 🔪

Why revisit it now?
Because what once shocked audiences has, in many places, become normalized.

We will hold space for reflection — on resistance, on power, on the language of “security,” and on how cinema can function as collective memory.
