Film/BookClub is a series of screenings and readings by Les Complices* that focuses on feminist perspectives of the Palestinian struggle in relation to other international solidarity movements and liberation struggles. The series is a collaboration with other artists, groups, and spaces across Zürich. It was inspired by our friends and comrades, who have been relentlessly organising reading groups and film clubs over the last few months to create shared spaces for watching, reading, collective discussions, and coming together.
