The Supplementary School Film Club.
2023.
Intersectional film club.
The Supplementary School Film Club is an intersectional film club hosted by artist, Amber Ablett at NO GOODS where we prioritise the stories, needs and comfort of those marginalised by our society. We watch films together to look at the intersections of oppressive structures and how different communities tackle and dismantle them.
Each month, an invited guest selects the film and gives a short introduction about how the film has affected their thoughts and practice, opening up a space for discussion and conversation after the film. All events are free and we hope you can join the whole series!
The SSFC takes direct inspiration from The Black Supplementary School Movement begun in 1960s Britain by West Indian communities to fill the gaps about the breadth of the British experience and history left out by mainstream education.
