Get Rid of Yourself is a video-film-tract addressed to those who anonymously embody the return of political activism within Empire. While its initial sounds and images were filmed during the riots in Genoa, 2001, these materials are pulled apart and recomposed in order to... locate the intensity of a shared experience, rather than producing one more documentary version of the programmed and hyper-mediatized confrontation of the G8 counter-summit. The film will be in English, with English subtitles only.

Tutti Frutti is more than just a cinema! With the proliferation of expensive and sterile mega cinemas, Tutti Frutti movie nights offer an evening when we reclaim our creativity, watch, analyze and discuss films in an autonomous space.

This week we move Tutti Frutti Cinema to Tuesday night in view of the general strike called on Wednesday. Join us at 21.00 for a screening of the 2007 film about the WTO protest in Seattle and stay after for a discussion on the questions being opened through the strike, the April 19 (#19A) demonstration and beyond!

The film depicts the historic protest in 1999, as thousands of activists arrive in Seattle, Washington in masses to protest the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999. The World Trade Organization is considered by protesters to contribute to widening the socioeconomic gap between the rich and the poor while it claims to be fixing it and increasing world hunger, disease and death.

Join us for an evening with Wall Street big shot Gordon Gekko!

Oliver Stone takes a critical look at the financial world of Wall Street in his 1987 film. A young and impatient stockbroker is willing to do anything to get to the top, including trading on illegal inside information taken through a ruthless and greedy corporate raider who takes the youth under his wing.

Tutti Frutti is more than just a cinema! With the proliferation of expensive and sterile mega cinemas, Tutti Frutti movie nights offer an evening when we reclaim our creativity, watch, analyze and discuss films in an autonomous space. In our fight against ACTA, the deepening enclosure of digital commons, and austerity measures being applied across Europe, these movie nights are one more way in which we say Ya Basta!

Na akcijo državljanske nepokorščine, s katero je gibanje 15o skušalo preprečiti deložacijo družine Vaskrsić v Litiji, se je policija odzvala z uporabo represivnih sredstev. Policija je nasilno pridržala vse, ki so se solidarnostno zbrali na dvorišču družine Vaskrsić, da bi opozorili na še eno epizodo razlaščanja ljudi in zahtevali, da se začnejo postopki za spremembo zakonodaje in sodne prakse, ki sta v tej družbi izključno na strani bogatejših in tistih, ki imajo družbeno moč.

Zahtevamo takojšnjo izpustitev vseh aktivistov in aktivistk!

Zahtevamo takojšen moratorij na vse deložacije!

This letter is being sent from the Social Center Rog in Ljubljana and the Slovenian node of the 15 October movement (#15o) in solidarity and common struggle. Our recent visit to IVI during the preparatory meeting for the convergence on Frankfurt in May was another networking opportunity with other autonomous spaces that develop self-organized structures and activities which are one of the important pillars of the struggle against the imposed logic of capital.

We were informed of your precarious status and current struggle to maintain the premise. In the organization of space, and desire for a location that allows us to organize community and reproduce ourselves autonomously, we face a common struggle. Like you, we struggle with the 'owner' of our premise (in this case the municipality of Ljubljana). This struggle, imposed by a process of gentrification and finacialization of our cities and communities, does not reflect the multiple realities seeking forms of expression, legitimacy and reproduction. Moreover, it tries to suffocate them ruthlessly by fitting them into pre-formed realities in order to maximize profitability. Through gentrification and predetermined structures imposed on our space, we are forced into equally predetermined and impoverished relationships and forms. These realities give us no autonomy in our choices of how to live, how to express ourselves and control over our reproduction. In addition to this, the powers making choices over our lives also directly profit from this control. Financial markets find new sites of expropriation, cities find new investors, and so on. Yet in return we receive no income. It only privatizes everything around us, further reducing access and dividing us into categories.

Osmega marca se v Sloveniji nahaja delegacija Troike (Evropske centralne banke, Evropske komisije in Mednarodnega denarnega sklada). Njen obisk zagotovo ni vljudnostne narave, ampak je namenjen utrjevanju dogme zategovanja pasov. Politike, ki jih evropske in nacionalne po...litične elite pod taktirko finančnih institucij in korporacij vsiljujejo povsod po Evropi. Četudi je jasno, da vodijo v recesijo, brezposelnost, brezperspektivnost, krajo prihodnosti.

Obisk trojke sovpada z napovedmi nove slovenske vlade, da bo ne glede na ceno račun za krizo izstavila tistim, ki je nismo povzročili, pri čemer napoveduje drastično znižanje delavskih in socialnih pravic ter nadaljnjo demontiranje sistemov javne blaginje. S predstavniki vlade bodo planirali zaostritev politik zategovanja pasov, medtem ko na Centrih za socialno delo zaradi politik prejšnje vlade, ki so prav tako sledile neoliberalni dogmi, doživljamo pravo dramo razgradnje socialne države. Delegacija Troike bo v Ljubljani dober teden po tem, ko je ECB že drugič obdarila banke z izjemno ugodnimi krediti po 1% obrestni meri za obdobje treh let. Medtem ko banke tudi v Sloveniji zaradi špekulativnih razlogov sedijo na praznih stanovanjih. In ko povsod po Evropi in še zlasti na ti. periferiji zaradi špekulativnih napadov bank in finančnih trgov na sposobnost držav, da financirajo javni dolg, jemljejo javne storitve, kot so brezplačno šolstvo in zdravstvo, in potiskajo velike dele prebivalstva v revščino in brezperspektivnost.

Sreda,7.marca ob 21h v Socialnem centru Rog

This weeks film deals with the early labor struggle in the United States. Starring Sean Connery and Richard Harris, the film looks at the role of the undergound Irish-American society and their role in the organizing miners and fighting injustice by all means.

Tutti Frut...ti is more than just a cinema! With the struggle against ACTA building, with the proliferation of expensive and sterile mega cinemas, Tutti Frutti movie nights offer an evening when we reclaim our creativity, watch, analyze and discuss films in an autonomous space. All Tutti Frutti films will be kept on file and contribute the building of an open, common digital library in the Social Center.

Akcijska javna tribuna #15o za samo-obrambo pred deložacijami in drugimi oblikami razlaščanja: Zaustavimo krajo demokracije!

Ponedeljek, 5.marec, 2012, ob 17ih v Socialnem centru Rog, Trubarjeva 72, Ljubljana

Javnost zadnje dni pretresa tako rekoč nedoumljiva zgodba o bližajoči se deložaciji družine Vaskršić iz Litije, ki je izgubila hišo zaradi bagatelnega dolga nekaj čez 120 evrov. Upnik, komunalno podjetje, je prek izvšitelja izterjal dolg družine tako, da je bila na dražbi prodana njena hiša, zaradi česar bodo Vaskrsićevi ostali brez doma. Vsi vpleteni v tej razlaščevalski verigi, od upnika in izvršitelja, do sodišča in Ministrstva za pravosodje, na zgražanje javnosti odgovarjajo s trditvijo, da je bilo vse v skladu z zakonom in da si je žrtev kriva kar sama. Zgodba o družini Vaskršić pa ni osamljen primer. V teh dneh so v javnosti začele krožiti informacije, da je prisilna prodaja nepremičnin zaradi bagatelnih dolgov razširjena praksa v tej državi. V tem trenutku se samo v Ljubljani nekaj deset družin sooča z grožnjo deložacije zaradi prisilne prodaje njihovih domov.

Kolektiv Bike Smut* je iz ZDA prikolesaril na prvo evropsko turnejo. V Sloveniji se bo ustavil v Cerknem, Ljubljani in Mariboru, kjer bo predstavil svoj izbor ljubiteljskih kolesarskih erotično-pornografskih kratkih filmov (od tod „koloseksualnost“), ki so nastali v ZDA in Kanadi. Avtorice in avtorje filmov druži ljubezen do kolesarjenja (pravijo, da je kolo naj...razburljivejše prevozno sredstvo), zato se v svojih delih ustvarjalno, hrepeneče, pohotno in osveščeno spogledujejo s kolesi vseh oblik, starosti, barv, razredov, spolov in spolnih usmeritev.
