learn. Sessions are free, and you are more than welcome to join us!
A great filmmaker who is working on a film about activism around the olympics is offering “filmmaking-lessons”. It’ll will be 3-week course starting in about 3 weeks. He will teach in sessions of aprox. 2 hours and the classes will be about script writing, film ananlysis, directing, production and more.
The only thing we need is at least 4 people to follow the 3-week course. So mail us back to devote your life to filmmaking :) and we’ll let you know very soon if the course will go on…. Subscribe now!! Love and spread it!
Cinema Libre had a little break as we had the queer-cafe last week..But this week Cinema Libre is totally back with a compilation of interesting, funny and delicious political porn as usual ;) There will be something to snack with the films and hot and (hopefully) cold drinks as (allmost) usually :)

*Queer Cafe Food and Talkin’*
DO YOU WANT TO COME AND EAT DINNER (delicious, hot & cheap, just like the queers who’ll be making it) AND DISCUSS THE FORTHCOMING PRIDE MARCH & FESTIVITIES ON 4TH JULY?
Are we dissatisfied? do we want to communicate that to our lgbt siblings? do something on that date? do we want to disrupt the march? be a black bloc? kill the cops? or at least take the piss out of them? clown army? prance around in nothing more than a provacative banner – or body paint? produce some propaganda that explains what we mean by words like ‘anarch@-queer’ & ‘anti-assimilation’? recruit/seduce? cover the west end in spray-painted slogans? picket or picnic with the trans community? stay at home and ignore the whole thing? what do you think? please come along and share your desires, so we can make them happen!
The Library House has a fabulous free shop, so if you have any clothes, shoes, records, books, bric a brac which need redistribution, bring them along for everyone else to rummage through/fight over.
Yes, there will be (vegan) cake. And ice-cream for early arrivers if it’s sunny…
All ages welcome – there’s a separate room for kids to hang out in if they want to.
If you can’t make it on the 17th, but have some ideas for action, or want to be kept in the loop, contact us c/o cazalita@yahoo.co.uk.

London FreeSchool aims to confront the hierarchy and inequality that dominates learning. It stems from a belief that the control and institutionalisation of education is wrong and as communities we need to reclaim knowledge in order to develop self reliance. It is a collectively run project open to all, in fact we are actively seeking new bodies who want to get involved and help organise similar events to this. If you are up for this then please get in contact (deschooling_society [at] lists [dot] riseup [dot] net).
Check the website http://londonfreeschool.wordpress.com from now onwards for more information on what is planned for the weekend. We hope to have all the descriptions for workshops up as soon as possible and the full timetable will be posted later.
Sign up to our newsletter at https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/londonfreeschool for irregular updates on upcoming events in London.
This week, our special event is a photograph exhibition on saturday 13th at 7pm. Kiera James took pictures of squats and squatters around London and will be showing them at the Library House.
Summer is coming, and there will probably be some changes at the Library House.
First is the change of shape of our cafe. You got a message about that yesterday. Wednesday evenings will be less food and more sun: welcome to our Summer Cinema Libre!
Once in a while we will do a special cafe (maybe benefit, special screenings, talks etc) with lots of food but we will let you know on time off course!
Kundalini Yoga is over. There might be some random yoga lessons during summer, just keep an eye on the newsletter and the website if you’re interested.
Also, if you interested in more SOMA anarchist therapy workshops (cause you couldn’t make it on the open day!), contact us and we’ll put you in contact with the relevant people :)

SPECIAL EVENT
*Saturday 6th June 7pm // Resistance to the 2010 Canadian olympics*
This saturday the 6th of June at 7pm 2a Belgrade road will be hosting a meeting and discussion on resistance to the 2010 Canadian olympics. Hope to see a few of you there.
Social War is Everywhere – No 2010 Olympics on Stolen Land.
The “Bosses Grand Idea,” the Olympics, aptly termed by Greek anarchists in the time leading up to the 2004 Athens Olympics, is coming to Vancouver in 2010. We say it is already here. Before winning the Olympic bid in 2003, urban development, tourism and resource exploitation were heavily promoted as a way to sell BC on an international level. Not just an event, the Olympics functions to market this land, through ski resorts, mining, shipping ports, highways and security; to catalyze and secure the projects of the bosses. The Olympics serves to enforce projects of exploitation and social control across British Columbia that will, in many cases, integrate and bolster capitalist infrastructure internationally.
Initially, anarchists in British Columbia, were inspired to participate in anti-Olympics efforts by the ongoing indigenous resistance to ski-resorts and development, destroying land and ways of life. By continuing in long-term pre-existing struggles, indigenous resistance is at the forefront of the anti-Olympics fight.

**Anarchist Movement Conference 2009**
Anarchist Movement Conference 2009 will happen at Queen Mary & Westfield College on Saturday June 6th and Sunday June 7th, 2009. The space will include 20 rooms and a large hall as well as a creche for both days. It is a chance to put our ideas on the table and rebuild ourselves. The barriers that exist need to be broken down, the experiences and ideas of those involved in anarchist politics need to be shared, discussed, critiqued and debated. The task is urgent, practical and necessary – are we as a movement mature enough to face the challenge?
