Rupture Cinema x 1815fc Glasgow Weekender

Rupture Cinema and 1815fc are teaming up to collaborate with our dear friends Solidarity Screenings Glasgow and secretgroundsman in Glasgow on the bank holiday weekend (Eire-side) of October, 24th to 26th, to celebrate the historic links between our cities and the shared perspectives of our collectives. The weekend will kick off in a unique location in the east end of Glasgow on Friday 24th of October, with a selection of shorts curated by Rupture Cinema and Solidarity Screenings Glasgow exploring the struggle of oppressed nations against imperialism, with particular attention paid to Ireland, Palestine and internationalism. The screening will feature food, discussion, zines and pamphlets - an all round three dimensional display of the educational and community creating potential of cinema. The next day on Saturday the 25th of October, events will pick back where they left off in the afternoon as 1815fc and secretgroundsman take all comers on a roaming football tour-nament, where a series of matches will take place across Glasgow’s public pitches, with music and agitprop pumping as we move and explore the city through the beautiful game. Concurrent with the events throughout the weekend will be fundraising to gather funds for organisations in Palestine, or those working with Palestinians. In the midst of colonial onslaught and genocide, it is integral we use our mutual aid networks to contribute all as much as we can to those in need. We will announce the specific organisations closer to the time. Specifics of the cinema and football events, of venues, location, time etc will be also later on in October, but for now: book your flights, get your days off and get ready for a weekend of solidarity between two legendary cities, Dublin and Glasgow, as we unite to show how football and cinema can bring people together.
