dublin / arts and media / event notice Friday July 16, 2010 10:43 by Film Qlub
A hypnotic thriller, 'Different from the Others' is also a remarkable historical document. The flourishing of art and activism in Germany in the early years of the twentieth century came to a dramatic close in 1933, when the Nazi regime began to systematically destroy books, artworks, and films they considered too provocative or ‘decadent’. This extraordinary film miraculously survived, in a damaged copy which was discovered in 1979, and restored with the help of stills. 'Different from the Others' is a landmark in gay/human rights filmmaking, and this is a rare opportunity to watch it on the screen. read full story / add a comment

NIPSA (Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance), the largest public service trade union in the North has responded to the Draft Bill on Public Assemblies saying that, rather than give the impression that the Bill is redeemable through detailing all their objections to it, they would rather see it scrapped:
The draft proposal is "fundamentally flawed and not capable of amendment."

For Immediate Publication.

We call on Progressive Irish Organisations and Individuals to endorse this statement.

On July 1, 2010 the special police branch of the Indian state assassinated in cold blood, Azad, (Cherukuri Rajkumar) the spokesperson of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) having earlier forcefully abducted him and Hem Chandra Pandey, a freelance journalist accompanying him. Both were tortured and executed and their bodies dropped and left in a distant forest. Yet the state and the media at its disposal claim that the two were killed in an “armed encounter”. read full story / add a comment

Bill Henderson writes about those who deny climate change and he also touchs on some other hot topics.

There are people who deny that climate change is happening, that it is caused by increasing greenhouse gases (GHG) from burning fossil fuels, or that it is potentially so serious as to be civilization even humanity threatening. There are worldview and monetary reasons for such denial, but since 97 percent to 98 percent of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenet that combustion of fossil fuels is the source of global climate change their denial costs valuable time now but is ultimately untenable. read full story / add a comment

Yet another report has cleared scientists at the University of East Anglia’s (UEA) Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of dishonesty in the presentation of data on global warming. However it has stated that: “We do find that there has been a consistent pattern of failing to display the proper degree of openness, both on the part of CRU scientists and on the part of the UEA.”

But the inquiry found that the scientists “honesty and rigour” were “not in doubt” and there was “no evidence” of behaviour that would undermine assessments by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). read full story / add a comment
