Concerning violence (2014) // ogled filma in diskusija
„Concerning Violence“ je antikolonialni dokumentarni film, ki razkriva neolepšano resnico o afriških osvobodilnih bojih proti naseljenskemu kolonializmu, kraji zemlje, izkoriščanju virov in vsiljevanju arbitrarnih meja. Film, ki temelji na revolucionarnem eseju Frantza Fanona, z militantno jasnostjo govori o nujnosti nasilnega upora proti kolonialni in imperialni dominaciji. Film razkriva brutalno realnost, skrito pod olepšano imperialno pripovedjo – etnično čiščenje, državljanske vojne in verske delitve, ki so bili ustvarjeni za ohranitev zahodne nadvlade.
Skozi pronicljive arhivske posnetke in naracijo Lauryn Hill, film izpodbija osrednjo vlogo zahoda in njegovega epistemskega nasilja v proizvodnji znanja. »Concerning violence« od nas zahteva, da se soočimo z dediščino kolonialnega nasilja ne kot z oddaljeno zgodovino, ampak kot s sedanjim stanjem, ki je neločljivo povezano z globalnimi neenakostmi in bojem za pravičnost.
Pridružite se nam na projekciji, ki se neposredno sooča s temi resnicami in diskusiji, kjer bomo spregovorili o nasilnih praksah kolonializma: o izkoriščanju virov, kraji zemlji naseljencev, arbitrarnih mejah, etničnem čiščenju, podpihovanju državljanskih vojn in zahodni kolonialni dominaciji nad znanjem in zgodovino. To srečanje je poziv k kritični refleksiji in militantni solidarnosti z današnjim bojem proti kolonialnemu in neokolonialnemu nasilju. Dogodek bo potekal v angleščini, možnost prevajanja v slovenščino.
Ogled filma in diskusija se bo odvijala v okviru Antiavtoritarne poletne šole. Šola je prostor za samoizobraževanje gibanja proti sistemom dominacije, orodje za raziskovanje zgodovine in revolucionarnih idej ter stičišče različnih predlogov za delovanje v družbenih bojih prihodnosti.
Šolo organizira Antiavtoritarna platforma, s čimer nadaljuje in poglablja izobraževalne in organizacijske procese gibanja ter jih odpira zunanjemu svetu. Več o Antiavtoritarni platformi: anarhistka.org/about/
-------------------------------
"Concerning Violence" is anti-colonial documentary that exposes the unvarnished truth of African liberation struggles against settler colonialism, land theft, resource extraction, and the imposition of arbitrary borders. Rooted in Frantz Fanon's revolutionary essay, it speaks with militant clarity about the necessity of violent resistance against colonial and imperial domination. The film unearths the brutal realities hidden beneath the sanitized narratives of empire—the ethnic cleansing, civil wars, and sectarian divisions engineered to sustain Western control.
Through powerful archival footage narrated by Lauryn Hill, the film challenges the centricity of the West and the ongoing epistemic violence in the production of knowledge. "Concerning Violence" demands that we face the legacy of colonial violence not as a distant history but as a present condition inseparable from global inequalities and struggles for justice.
Join us for a screening that confronts these truths head-on, followed by a debate centered on colonial violence practices: resource extraction, settler land theft, arbitrary borders, ethnic cleansing, the fueling of civil wars, and Western colonial domination over knowledge and history. This gathering is a call for critical reflection and militant solidarity in the ongoing fight against colonial and neocolonial violence. The event itself will be in English, but we can arrange Slovenian translation.
The film screening and discussion will take place as part of the anti-authoritarian summer school. The school is a space for self-education about movements against systems of domination, a tool for exploring history and revolutionary ideas, and a meeting point for various proposals for action in the social struggles of the future.
The school is organized by the Anti-Authoritarian Platform, which continues and deepens the educational and organizational processes of the movement and opens them up to the outside world. More about the Anti-Authoritarian Platform: anarhistka.org/about/
