🚨🇩🇿🇮🇪🚨Join us in the Sugar Club next Friday and Saturday (June 7-8) for the Women in Resistance: Algeria and Ireland Festival. We are bringing film makers, artists, activists and academics together to explore histories, memories and representations of women’s struggles.

Reminder: This kicks off tonight with two films screenings, the Algerian historical epic The Last Queen, and a new Irish-made feature called The Cry of Grainuale. This will be followed by DJs playing tunes from Algeria, Ireland and around the world.

My film The Cry of Granuaile screens in Dublin tonight at The Sugar Club as part of "Women in Resistance: Algeria-Ireland" - a festival comparing "the role of Algerian & Irish women in political, cultural and social resistance across the two long anti-colonial histories"!
