SUMMARY:The Moving Past
DESCRIPTION:Between 1918 and 1929\, two entities – the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau and the Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau\, the first state-sponsored film organizations in the world – produced over a thousand silent films. These films took on a variety of subjects\, among which were showcases of scenic attractions\, celebration of industrial technology and educational material intended for farmers and factory workers. \nToday\, they provide a unique insight into how the state promoted views on labour\, gender and indigenous peoples over a century ago\, and provoke an interesting contrast – or the lack of it – with how those views are promoted today. \nA selection of those films has been restored (with added period music) and compiled by David Sobel\, through The Moving Past project\, where the final products can be viewed at no cost. Additionally\, an event was held earlier this summer in partnership with the Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education where a few of them were shown\, with additional commentary by the curator. \nMore restorations are in progress and should be available on the website soon. Stay tuned as well for a second event with some of these new films later this year. See the YouTube trailer. \nNote: this event is not scheduled yet\, and as such the dates at the bottom do not apply.

SUMMARY:Crisis & Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The Struggle for Ontario’s Universities and Colleges \nOntario’s higher education sector faces a perfect storm of austerity\, rising precarity\, and eroding academic freedom. This has provoked a sustained wave of resistance\, marked by near-continuous faculty\, staff\, and student-worker strikes over recent years–exemplified by the recent OPSEU support staff strike.  \nLearning from these Ontario struggles and from successful\, militant unionism in the United States\, this event argues for a new strategic direction. We will explore the structural challenges and strategic issues that higher education workers face and consider the potential for a path forward based on commitments to wall-to-wall organization and new forms of sectoral solidarity and joint action. \nRegistration required – Please register here. \nWhen: November 20 – 7pm\nWhere: Downtown Toronto – Venue shared upon registration\nWho: All those who work in the higher education sector\, including non-academic workers.\nLight refreshments will be served.  \nSpeakers TBA

SUMMARY:FilmSocial presents: The Time That Remains
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to present The Time that Remains (2009) as the next film in the FilmSocial series of socialist film screenings. \n“THE TIME THAT REMAINS is a semi-biographical film\, in four episodes\, about a family\, my family\, from 1948 until recent times. The film is inspired by my father’s private diaries\, starting from when he was a resistance fighter in 1948\, and by my mother’s letters to family members who were forced to leave the country since that time. Combined with my intimate memories of them and with them\, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained and were labeled ‘Israeli-Arabs’\, living as a minority in their own homeland.” – Elia Suleiman \nThe film represents an often surrealist portrayal of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation set over 60 years. Writer and Director Elia Suleiman brings us a story that’s both comedic and dark\, realistic and absurd\, as well as hopeful\, all at the same time. Looking back at the this film from over 15 years ago is a glimpse through time of what’s remained constant and what has drastically changed since the escalation of Israel’s genocide in 2023.  \nRegister at tickettailor.com.
