Corazon del Tiempo / The Heart of Time

Trades Hall 7:00pm 11th February 2009

Fundraiser for the Zapatista Community Hacia la Esperanza

The Zapatistas, masked rebels of the Lacondon Jungle have revealed themselves in the award winning 2009 film directed by Alberto Cortés: Corazon del Tiempo

In La Esperanza de San Pedro, Chiapas, in the midst of the Zapatista struggle, Sonia, a member of the community, is about to be married. Her dowry, a cow, has been delivered. Her boyfriend’s family has been spoken to… However, Sonia is in love with another: an insurgent. Now, the EZLN has a problem on their hands and the entire community must come together so that the voice of its members can be heard and respected; and so that duty can be overcome by love.

This screening is a fundraiser for the indigenous Zapatista communities that feature in the film. Since 1994 these communities have been supporting themselves totally autonomously from the Mexican Government. Despite being amongst the poorest people in the world, they run their own schools, hospitals and agricultural training centres which they make available for all people in the region, not just their supporters. Because they refuse to accept corrupt government officials, Zapatista communities suffer form harassment by paramilitaries and the army. Political and material support is urgently needed to defend their project of local democracy.

The film will be screened for the first time in Australia at Trades Hall, 54 Victoria St Carlton, on Thursday 11th February at 7:00pm.

The film and its context will be introduced by PhD candidate Tristan Epstein, recently returned from fieldwork in Southern Mexico.

For enquiries please contact

Pissed off about sexism, racism and homophobia? Worried about climate change? Appalled by the growing lack of housing affordability and inadequate tenants rights? Grossed out by the cost of childcare? Fed up with ridiculous workloads on the job?

There is an alternative to a world where war seems endless and profit rules. It’s called socialism — the replacement of capitalist rule by a genuine workers’ democracy — and it will guarantee full economic, social, political and legal equality to all who are exploited, oppressed and repelled by the existing system.

You are invited to be part of a study circle where no prior knowledge is necessary. Bring your questions and your ideas!

Rally: Farmers and Shoppers World-Wide say No! Monsanto!
WHEN: 7:00AM on Thursday 18th February
WHERE: Hilton on the Park, 192 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne (near Fitzroy Gardens)

Monsanto spokesperson Peter O'Keeffe will address the Rural Press Club at the "Hilton on the Park" here in Melbourne promoting farmers' "choice" to grow GM canola and Monsanto's role in the future of agriculture.

In solidarity with majority world farmers who are fighting for sovereignty against multinational control of their land and patented seed monopoly, we will rally outside the Hilton to say "No! Monsanto!"

Profits, seed monopoly and patenting are Monsanto's real agenda.

From the cotton fields of Indonesia, where the company was fined $US1.5 million for bribery while trying to influence a GM cotton approval, to India, where over 100,000 people fasted in January against seed monopoly and GM eggplant introduction, first world awareness of the threat of GM crops is building. Corporate spin will not convince us that Monsanto's patented seeds will "feed the world".

The Hillside Film Festival (formally the Blue Dandenongs Film Festival) is once again running. Following its previous success, this year's festival is running over two, which means there is more local talent, more live bands, and more garden parties all in a beautiful green leafy setting to be enjoyed.

This year we are lucky enough to be screening the cult hit documentary Surfing 50 States, which tells the story of two Aussie mates who travel to America with the goal of surfing in every state- despite the fact that neither can surf very well! What follows is a hilarious journey where the boys take desperate measures to achieve their goal- whether it be by surfing down a 15 foot pile of potatoes in Idaho, being dragged on a surfboard behind a truck in Texas, or conquering the frigid waves of Alaska.

In addition, this year we have eight short films which showcase young local talent and the future of the Australian film industry. We have the opportunity to see the best young talent of any genre, any style and any budget. Highlights definitely include the mockumentary interviewer Sam Tool, who frightens Hamish and Andy and argues with Rove, and the black comedy 'Choke' which proves you should never mistake a Hungry, Hungry Hippo ball with a Jila Mint.

Dine at your local Indian restaurant on Wednesday 24 February 2010.

 Protest racially motivated violence in Melbourne.

Let’s  find a way to show support for the Indian community and signal that we will not turn a blind eye to violence in our city.

This violence threatens all Melburnians’ sense of safety and pride in their home. I want the Melbourne Indian community -and all immigrant communities – to know that they are welcome and entitled to feel safe here.

How cool would it be if Melbourne displayed a show of force by all going out and eating Indian food on a certain night, to embrace and show solidarity with our local Indian community?

Let’s do it!

Register your participation in 10 seconds.

In November last year, the central leader of the Venezuelan revolution, Hugo Chavez, proposed "to convene political parties and currents to create the Fifth Socialist International as a new organization that fits the time and the challenge in which we live, and that can become an instrument of unification and coordination of the struggle of peoples to save this planet".

As the epicentre of a continent-wide anti-capitalist rebellion, the people of Venezuela are well placed to shoulder the leadership of creating an international front of resistance and opening a new era of international socialist discussion and collaboration.

This forum will include speakers from a range of left organisations in Australia, to discuss the meaning and significance of the call for a 5th International.

Speakers include:
Guido Huerta, from the Chilean Communist Party in Australia
Anthony Main, from the Socialist Party
Communist Party of Australia speaker
FMLN (Frente Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) Speaker
Trent Hawkins, from Socialist Alliance
Roberto Jorquera, Revolutionary Socialist Party representative attending forthcoming 5th International gathering in Venezuela

Inside the Revolution: A Journey into the Heart of Venezuela
(Director Pablo Navarrete, 65mins, Alborada Films, 2009)

February 2009 marked 10 years since Hugo Chavez took office, following a landslide election victory, and launched his revolution to bring radical change to Venezuela. While wildly popular with many in the country, Chavez's policies and his strongly-worded criticisms of the U.S. government have also made him powerful enemies, both at home and abroad, especially in the media.

Filmed in Caracas in November 2008, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of Chavez's controversial presidency, this feature-length documentary takes a journey into the heart of Venezuela's revolution to listen to the voices of the people driving the process forward.

"This is a rare film about Venezuela, a country in extraordinary transition. Watch this film because it is honest and fair and respectful of those who want to be told the truth about an epic attempt, flaws and all, to claim back the humanity of ordinary people."

- John Pilger (Journalist, author and documentary filmmaker)

"A lively, well-researched documentary which pulls of that most difficult of tasks - an honest account of the achievements and the weaknesses of the Chavez government."

- Sue Branford (Journalist, former Latin American analyst for the BBC World Service)

::: Sunday 28th February, 2.30pm-5.30pm

Film starts 3pm

Entry: $8/$5 (concession) on guestlist. Email: info[at]alborada.net to be added to the guestlist. Otherwise entry is: $10/$7(concession)

Pissed off about sexism, racism and homophobia? Worried about climate change? Appalled by the growing lack of housing affordability and inadequate tenants rights? Grossed out by the cost of childcare? Fed up with ridiculous workloads on the job?

There is an alternative to a world where war seems endless and profit rules. It’s called socialism — the replacement of capitalist rule by a genuine workers’ democracy — and it will guarantee full economic, social, political and legal equality to all who are exploited, oppressed and repelled by the existing system.
