LOUDER NOW! FEMINISM ON FILM presents... GREENHAM GRANNY
Star and Shadow Cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne
http://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/921
In 1929 Nell Logan took part in a youth peace conference in Moscow.
More than 50 years later she was among the women fighting against
Cruise missiles at Greenham Common. GREENHAM GRANNY is a film portrait
of Nell Logan, which shows her Greenham activities in the context of a
life-long struggle by interweaving scenes from Nell's life in the mid
80s with archive material reflecting her past and half a century of
history.
Guest Speaker: Professor Sasha Roseneil (Birkbeck University).
Professor Roseneil has carried out research on the Greenham Common
Women's Peace Camp and on its feminist and queer politics, which was
published as Disarming Patriarchy: Feminism and Political Action at
Greenham (Open University Press, 1995) and Common Women, Uncommon
Practices: The Queer Feminisms of Greenham (Cassell/ Continuum, 2000).
She also has met and interviewed Nell Logan!
LOUDER NOW! is brought to the Star and Shadow with support from The
Gender Research Group at Newcastle University.
All LOUDER NOW! events are free to attend (although £1 membership to
the Star and Shadow is required).
