Description |
This was the 4th week of WFA's autumn film society programme in 1983 entitled "Films as organisers." Guest speakers included Alan Fountain, Channel 4 commissioning editor for independent film, Greg Philo from Glasgow Media Group and a panel including Wowo Wauters, Theresa Wilkie (Chair) and Mohsin Zulfiqar from the Pakistani Workers' Association (PWA). After a screening of extracts from the Channel 4 programme 'Eastern Eye', Zulfiqar speaks about it from an Asian and historical perspective and about the expectations black people have that Channel 4 will give a profile to issues of concern, such as cases of the Newham 8 and Bradford 12. Contributions are opened to the floor and Greg Philo gives a presentation about Glasgow Media Group, set up in 1974, and some of its research publications - 'Bad News', 'Really Bad News' and its TV programme, 'The Friday Alternative', a weekly media critique. He screens some clips from that programme covering issues like the image of women, religion, war - particularly the Falklands War. |
