1. Rebels With A Cause Film Festival - Oct 22-25th
************************



*3. Rebels With A Cause Film Festival*

The Rebels With A Cause Film Festival is brought to the York community by
artists and activists who seek the delicate balance between both creative
and political work. We believe that film should not pacify or be escapist,
but politicize and give us the courage to transform ourselves and our
communities. The films selected are artistic reflections on social justice
issues and critical documentations of unsung community work. Located within
a university context, Rebels engages in dialogue outside the classroom
through conversations after screenings. We hope that the communal act of
viewing and sharing our ideas about films will strengthen our community and
empower our work on York campus and beyond.

*Rebels 2nd Annual presents 5 curated programs titled Red Riot, Witness
Within, Dead Ducks, Carving Coming and Art in Action and 2 feature
screenings 5 Broken Cameras and Pariah.*

*RED RIOT | MON OCT 22 6:00–7:30 PM | NAT TAYLOR CINEMA, 102 NORTH ROSS
*http://www.facebook.com/events/424099314303954/
*Red Riot *confronts the systemic effects of patriarchy, from issues of
violence towards Aboriginal women to gender-based oppression closer to
home. Each short whilst acknowledging trauma, conveys a defiant spirit.

*WITNESS WITHIN | TUE OCT 23 5:30–7:00 PM | 1152A VARI HALL*
http://www.facebook.com/events/122642217884025/
*Witness Within* examines the implications of structural imprisonment and
systemic oppression in their myriad forms. The shorts highlight the
importance of depicting acts of injustice and the community responses to
them, displaying the ability of film to make social interventions.

*5 BROKEN CAMERAS | TUE OCT 23 7:30–9:30 PM | NAT TAYLOR CINEMA, 102 NORTH
ROSS
*http://www.facebook.com/events/339458172817473/
*5 Broken Cameras* is a cinematic collaboration between Palestinian farmer
Emad Burnat and Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi. A testament to the camera as
a political weapon, the film documents Palestinian resistance to Israeli
occupation in a West Bank village.

*DEAD DUCKS | WED OCT 24 2:30–4:00 PM | NICK MIRKOPOULOUS SCREENING ROOM,
004 ACCOLADE EAST
*http://www.facebook.com/events/355178054570477/
*Dead Ducks *features the work of York film professor Brenda Longfellow
that employs a distinctively different approach from conventional film in
dealing with the environmental crisis and its serious social impact.

*PARIAH | WED OCT 24 7:00–9:00 PM | 1152A VARI HALL*
http://www.facebook.com/events/444636518912151/
*Pariah* explores a Brooklyn teenager's journey into understanding her
sexuality and confronting her family's expectations alongside her own quest
for self-realization. The film is a stunning coming of age story with
striking visuals and a vivid soundtrack that matches the boldness and
nuance of its composition.

*CARVING COMING | THU OCT 25 1:00–2:30 PM | 013 ACCOLADE EAST*
http://www.facebook.com/events/149522228525283/
*Carving Coming* consists a series of queer films that looks at the
complexity of constructing identity within multiple spaces. The shorts both
challenge and celebrate notions of being queer. Together they meditate on
inclusivity and intersectionality.

*ART IN ACTION | THU OCT 25 4:30–6:30 PM | NICK MIRKOPOULOUS SCREENING
ROOM, 004 ACCOLADE EAST*
http://www.facebook.com/events/148303878647427/
*Art in Action *depicts stories told in this city that speak to sustaining
diasporic communities, confronting profiling and stereotypes, competing
interpretations and the erasure of the past. In each short the lens filters
through how race, history and representation create the myths that surround
us.

*YOURS IN REBELLION, A CLOSING CONCERT | THU OCT 25 7:00–10:00 PM | MARTIN
LOUNGE FAMILY, 219 ACCOLADE EAST
*https://www.facebook.com/events/455769064473228/

Come and celebrate the end of the Film Festival with amazing performances,
food and drinks!
