SUMMARY:Talk: Horror Movies\, Sexuality & Power
DESCRIPTION:Discover how horror movies reveal hidden stories of sexuality\, fear and identity across classic and modern cinema. Followed by Q&A. \n\n\n\nSex and horror have always been intertwined. While the genre has often been criticised as exploitative or moralising – particularly toward women – it has also created a powerful space for audiences to explore their own stories of desire\, fear and identity. \nIn this thought-provoking talk\, Katie Evans draws on psychoanalysis\, queer theory and film history to uncover the hidden narratives within some of our most beloved horror films. From classic monsters like Dracula and The Bride of Frankenstein to Psycho\, Hellraiser and It Follows\, we’ll examine how themes of shame\, pleasure and survival play out on screen. \nWhether you’re drawn to horror\, fascinated by identity\, or curious about sexuality\, this talk invites you to consider what horror narratives really represent. Together\, we’ll explore ideas on sexual development\, kink and queerness – and how horror films can reflect the parts of ourselves we’re taught to hide\, revealing our complex relationship with otherness and what we can fear is the “monstrous” within. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nSpeaker Bio: \nKatie Evans is a BACP-accredited therapist and self-confessed horror nerd. Her passion for all things spooky began in childhood and continued through her studies in music\, film\, and media at Liverpool University\, before moving into the field of mental health. She holds advanced accreditation in GSRD Therapy (Gender\, Sexuality\, and Relationship Diversity). In addition\, Katie has presented at conferences across Europe and has spoken for organisations including The Maudsley\, the British Psychological Society\, The NHS\, LGBT Foundation\, and HMPPS\, among others. She is also a registered guest lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. An advocate for using pop culture in psychotherapy\, Katie previously hosted The Mental Health Monsters Podcast and continues to explore how fictional narratives – especially those from the horror genre – can help us better understand ourselves. \nThis talk is 18+

SUMMARY:Film: In Our Hands: Film & Panel on Food Futures

At the heart of all change lies a story and In Our Hands is the story of a new kind of farm\, a new kind of food and a new kind of society. \nFollowed by a panel discussion focusing on the power of growing food in an increasingly unstable landscape. Using the 10th anniversary since Brexit’s as our start point\, we will be asking our speakers “Has the instability throughout the last 10 years and today’s geo-politics \ncreated an opportunity for local food systems to be taken seriously at a national policy level?” \nThis panel discussion will draw into focus how the unstable global\, social and political landscapes of the past 10 years is making it more and more difficult for our government to ignore the importance of addressing food security. We will be bringing The MAZI Project lens\, representing food justice\, reinforcing successful food security exists when all people have consistent access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food\, not just those on a high income. \nWe will be hosting experienced speakers from farming\, policy and community backgrounds to curate a robust and reflective conversation. \nDoors open at 6:30 \nFilm screen 7:00 – 8:10 \nPannel discussion 8:10-9:15 \nQ&A 9:15-9:30 \nThis experience is part of The MAZI Project’s series of events marking World Hunger Day\, under the theme “Together for Joyful Resilience.” \nBy coming together around the table\, sharing stories\, and celebrating nourishing food\, we are asking Bristol to join us in solidarity with support young people affected by poverty and exclusion feel love and care through the power of food and community. \nTogether\, we can make joy an act of resilience and create a community where no young person is left behind! \nFilm Credits: \nDirectors: Joanne Barker and Sylvie Planel \nProducers: Humphrey Lloyd and Holly Black \nEditor: Jo Barker \nCamera: Jason Brooks \nAdditional Camera: Nick Street\, Matthias Ashford \nIllustrations: Rosanna Morris \nAnimations: Tashina Alam \nGrade: Jason Brooks \nOriginal Score: Ben Osborn \nSound mix and design: Gary Fawle \nNarration recorded at Ape Studios\, Bristol \nArchive: Shutterstock\, La Via Campesina\, The Landworkers’ Alliance
