THIS WEEK AT GASWORKS
TONIGHT! SCREENING PROGRAMME: MASAO ADACHI
 
 
THE RED ARMY / PFLP: DECLARATION OF WORLD WAR
(1971, 69min, with English subtitles)
Directed by Masao Adachi & Koji Wakamatsu

WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE, 7pm

As part of the current exhibition The Anabasis.... by Eric Baudelaire, Gasworks continues its programme of films by legendary Japanese film-maker Masao Adachi.

The Red Army... was made in collaboration with a newly-emerging Japanese Red Army (JRA) cadre and leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Together they produced this newsreel-style depiction of the everyday activities of Palestinian fighters, which they intended as a 'declaration of world war'.


Prisoner / Terrorist (2007), the final film in this programme, will be screened on Tuesday 10 July, 7pm.
