Ciné Résistance - «Everything Must Fall» (2018) by Rehad Desai

Ciné Résistance at soso: The Palestinian Cause

«Everything Must Fall» (2018) by Rehad Desai (85min)
When South Africa’s universities raised their fees in 2015, a wave of students took to the streets in opposition. Quickly gaining momentum and scope, the battle cry #FeesMustFall burst onto the political landscape and became a national conversation, bringing attention to the exclusion of poorer black South Africans from higher education, ultimately calling for the decolonization of the entire education system. Everything Must Fall features student leaders and their opposition as they unpack how a moment evolved into a mass movement. Demanding that governments be held accountable while also challenging deeper racial, gender, class and sexual identity discrimination, this group of inspiring young people demonstrate the power that comes from collective organizing that embraces intersectionality to create lasting change. https://www.ff.hrw.org

Talk and Discussion
Eduardo Kapapelo, Doctor of Philosophy, currently working at the Center for Human Rights of the University of Pretoria, has been living in South Africa for around 25 years and will share his knowledge and his experiences regarding the potential of a student movement to achieve social change. O., student at the University of Bern and part of last week’s student occupation of the University, will reflect on the experiences made by the students during occupying the University to protest the University’s involvement with Israel’s government and institutions occupying Palestine and currently committing a genocide in Gaza. Based on the experiences made in South Africa in 2015 and 2016, O. and Eduardo will discuss the potential and the perspectives of developing last weeks emerging student protest into a sustainable movement that is aiming for decolonization of universities and social justice.

soso.space launches a new format: Ciné Résistance.

On Tuesday evenings, soso.space will be screening motion pictures and documentaries viewing global history, issues and causes from the perspective of the oppressed, starting on 30 January with a film series about Palestine and the Palestinian cause.

The movies and documentaries shown will all be selected and – if possible - presented by people affected by the cause. We hope to create a space, where people affected, their allies and people interested to understand history and context of ongoing issues can meet. The bar will stay open after the movie screenings and offer space for discussions for everyone who wants to stay for a drink.

These movie screenings are Soli-events. Every contribution to run the event is voluntary. The collected funds at the door will be going to an organization related to the cause shown in the screening in full. The bar revenue will be used to pay for the expenses of the event.

Ciné Résistance wants to provide a safer space for people to come together, talk, share thoughts or just watch a movie and get inspired. We certainly encourage SWANA-people to join.

Ciné Résistance is preparing a list of links and information about Palestine/Gaza and the ongoing genocide in order to give people the possibility to educate themselves if required. Until further notice, the evenings on the topic of Palestine are taking place on a weekly basis.

soso.space will provide a bar at low cost, tea and snacks for free. Before and after the screening, curated music will be played, selected by artists close to the cause.
