Join us for a free screening of the landmark film Soy Cuba (I Am Cuba), sponsored by Yolo DSA.

Sunday, July 26, 7pm

Cruess Theater, Room 1002
375 California Avenue on the UC Davis campus.
Free parking at Visitor Lot 15 on California Ave.

Both a landmark of radical political cinema and one of the most visually ravishing films ever made, this legendary hymn to revolution shimmers across the screen like a fever dream of rebellion. The result of an extraordinarily ambitious collaboration between the Soviet and Cuban film industries, director Mikhail Kalatozov’s I Am Cuba unfolds in four explosive vignettes that capture Cuban life on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic exploitation and inequality give way to a working-class uprising. Backed by Carlos Fariñas’s stirring score, the dazzling camera work by Sergei Urusevsky—an inspiration for generations of filmmakers to follow—gives flight to the movie’s message of liberation.

Join us on Thursday July 9th for a discussion of Ilan Pappé’s ‘A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict.’

RSVP now at the link in our bio!

Despite what the Israel lobby would have you believe, the Israel–Palestine conflict didn’t start on 7 October. It didn’t start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel–Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.
