SUMMARY:Cinema Screening: A Man Called Otto (PG-13) and Cinema Now
DESCRIPTION:A Man Called Otto \nAt first sight\, Otto is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet\, a curmudgeon with staunch principles\, strict routines\, and a short fuse. People think him bitter\, and he thinks himself surrounded by idiots. Otto’s well-ordered\, solitary world gets a shake-up one snowy morning with the appearance of new neighbours\, a chatty young couple and their two daughters\, who announce their arrival by accidentally driving over a curb with their U-Haul. \nWhat follows is a heartwarming tale of unkempt cats\, unlikely friendships\, and a community’s unexpected reassessment of the one person they thought they had figured out. Starring Tom Hanks in the lead role of Otto\, this cheering tale is a remake of the film adaptation of the novel “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman. \n‘Cinema Now’ \nCinema Now is an observational documentary which depicts all of London’s independent cinemas as they were during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic\, which devastated cultural institutions across the country and globally. This film\, shot entirely on Kodak Super8mm celluloid film\, provides an insight into what people were feeling and thinking about through the use of an interwoven audio montage featuring dozens of voices. The film ultimately strives to make it known just how important these venues are to everybody and our very industry\, and how that was missed. There is no limit to where cinema can be found. \nThe doors and the bar will open at 7pm for the for the 7.15pm screening of ‘Cinema Now’\nThe screening of ‘A Man Called Otto’ will begin at 7.30pm. Light snacks will be available on the bar. Please arrive promptly. \nThere will be an interval.\nA Man Named Otto will be subtitled.\nBringing your own food and drink will not be permitted. \nIf you require an essential companion’s ticket or have any access requirements\, please email us at friends@stretfordpublichall.org.uk

SUMMARY:Demanding Democracy: Reinventing Politics for the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:To mark the 10th anniversary of STIR magazine – on the evening before Stir to Action’s Playground for the New Economy Festival – we’re hosting a lecture on democracy delivered by Carne Ross\, a writer and thinker on new forms of economy and democracy to meet the demands of the 21st century. A former British diplomat who resigned over the Iraq War\, Carne founded and led Independent Diplomat\, the world’s first ever non-profit diplomatic advisory group\, working with democracy groups and liberation movements from Kosovo to the Western Sahara and Syria. Carne has contributed to many major publications and broadcast outlets\, and is the author of two books\, most recently The Leaderless Revolution: how ordinary people can take power and change politics in the 21st Century. \nYou can buy our 10th anniversary issue here. \n“Demanding Democracy: Reinventing Politics for the 21st Century” \nDemocracy is in crisis\, threatened from without by dictators and totalitarians\, and from within by political disillusionment\, the decline of collective institutions\, and the far right. Never has trust in public institutions been lower. But from both government and opposition\, no effective solutions are being offered – neither ‘levelling up’ or partial devolution promise to fix the current malaise. Yet as we face mounting inequality and the demands of the climate crisis for rapid transition and managing worsening climate impacts\, never more have we needed a serviceable\, legitimate democracy. Only truly participatory democracy\, which involves those affected\, and where citizens themselves make the decisions\, offers a plausible solution. \nBut how could this work? Where has it worked and what can we learn? Carne Ross will examine these questions and propose a radical way forward. \nEvent information \nThursday May 18 from 6.15 – 8.15pm. \nDoors open at 5:45pm. \nIf you have any questions about the event\, please email events@stirtoaction.com
