Take One Action Film Festival Glasgow
Take One Action Film Festival, the UK's leading global change film festival, returns to Glasgow for its 15th edition between September 23rd and 25th!
About Take One Action Film Festival Glasgow
Examining ‘land’ as material, as power, and as terrain for violence and resistance, our programme this year looks to the earth beneath our feet – while dreaming of new ways to inhabit it.
Through screenings of our four features, plus a Radical Mycology workshop with Rhyze Mushrooms in addition to online resources and one-off events, the Edinburgh edition of the festival charts connections between Palestinian foraging practices and Filipino land defence, migrant justice in the UK and radical mycology.
We invite you to join us in unearthing networks of solidarity across all kinds of borders – and envisioning our embeddedness within them.
All tickets are either Pay What You Can or free for all.
Friday 23rd September: Foragers
7.30pm - 10pm at CCA Glasgow
(Jumana Manna, Palestine, 2022, 65min)
Palestinian foragers attempt to evade capture by the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority, in a mesmerising interrogation of settler colonial power, knowledge, and narratives of conservation.
Plus short: Coming Home (Naim Naif/ Margot Bowman, USA, 2022, 10min)
Join us after the film for a special spoken word performance exploring belonging, land and solidarity by Scottish-Palestinian writer, singer and actor Amira Al-Shanti.
Tickets: £0 - £10 (pay what you can)
Saturday 24th September: Delikado
8.15pm - 10.30pm at Glasgow Film Theatre
(Karl Malakunas, Australia, USA, United Kingdom,Hong Kong, Philippines, 2022, 94 min)
A riveting, powerfully emotional journey into the El Nido forest, where a group of Filipino land defenders risk their lives confronting the political and socioeconomic forces determined to destroy their land.
Stay with us after the film for a special prerecorded conversation to explore collective routes to environmental justice across borders.
Tickets: £0 - £10 (pay what you can)
Saturday 24th September: Hostile
4pm - 6.30pm at CCA Glasgow
(Sonita Gale, United Kingdom, 2021, 97 min)
On the tenth anniversary of the Hostile Environment, this searing documentary is essential viewing in the fight for migrant justice. Hostile is not only an exposé of the policies’ devastating impacts, but also a galvanising call for care, solidarity, and action.
Join us in conversation after the screening to dive deeper into advocating for migrant rights and learn how to resist the Hostile Environment in our communities with local migrant justice groups.
Tickets: £0 - £10 (pay what you can)
Sunday 25th September: The Mushroom Speaks
5pm - 7.15pm at Glasgow Film Theatre
(Marion Neumann, Switzerland, 2021, 90 min) screening as part of #TOAFF22.
Narrated by a silent mushroom, this wondrous documentary invites us to think radically through mycelium, through networks, and through attuned connectivity with the more-than-human world – and to find hope and possibility even in the ruins.
Join us after the film in a live conversation with Jessica Gaitán Johannesson, Marco Tenconi of Rhyze Mushrooms, and Hana, ‘Foraging Gardener’ to explore what fungi can teach us about being in the world: in solidarity, adaptability, and ways of imagining otherwise.
Tickets: £0 - £10 (pay what you can)
