WAR MATTERS, Chester Yang, UK 2013 [U], 50 mins
Chronicling 10 years of an individual's anti-war protest in the City of Westminster, this is the story of the late Brian Haw, veteran peace campaigner who camped in Parliament Square during those years. The film examines the British arms trade and the repercussions of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in London, as our democratic rights are curtailed and the threat of 'terrorism' overshadows our streets.

THE LAB, Yotam Feldman, Israel/Belgium/France 2013 [U], Hebrew with EST, 60 mins
A young Israeli filmmaker interviews ex-soldiers and ex-army officers about their activities. Many countries purchase arms from Israeli manufacturers, reassured that they have been tested... on Palestinians. We are privileged to screen the film's UK première.

Discussion led by filmmaker Chester Yang, historian Neil Faulkner, research fellow at Bristol University, and Kat Hobbs, Local Outreach Co-ordinator, Campaign Against Arms Trade
