My film 'Fires and Fascism' got two reviews in @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social's Felix!

"The real merit lies in the space local people have to tell their story"

"Knapp shows how even the best intentions can be twisted when profit comes first"

Anybody want a laugh?

The MOD constantly fly their jets over Norfolk.

Their response to a complaint:
- military aircraft emissions don't cause climate change
- they are diluted anyway
- 0.5% of our fuel is from crops that destroy rainforests

A good screening at @granthamicl.bsky.social at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social with staff and students this evening.

The Q&A focused on the role of academia in society, ethical funding, and how we break down silos.

Volvo Environment Prize? As in the car company involved in the environmental Dieselgate scandal?

Another successful screening of my film at Imperial College Union cinema this evening with some thought provoking questions in the Q&A about academics’ roles; renewable energy; and cherrypicked histories to suit far right narratives.

A good screening in Cotham, Bristol this evening with @xrbristol.bsky.social.

The Q&A covered topics such as how local groups can engage with wider communities, whether the future of activism can be legal or not, and how I interviewed people in languages that I don't speak!

A great turnout to watch ‘Fires and Fascism’ this evening in Exeter after the counter protest.

Looking forward to the discussion afterwards about the far right and ways to build community in a safer and more resilient way.

This fantastic banner sums up the film I'll be showing tonight: that the rich and greedy are causing huge problems in society; and the most vulnerable are suffering directly or being targeted.

The counterprotest had dances, singing, joy, and unity.

People from all over the world felt comfortable to share their culture and experiences over the microphone.

I was at the Exeter march today to see the much larger #RefugeesWelcome counterprotest.

It was quite a sight.

Tonight I'll be showing my film 'Fires and Fascism' at Southernhay church at 6pm. It's about building community and suppressing fascism.

Very pleased to see that @charlottechurch.bsky.social was referred to as a ‘Singer & Activist’ on #CelebrityTraitors.

Her work with Hacked Off, the environment, and Palestine are inspiring and hugely important.

More celebrities should be happy to be referred to as activists.

This piece from @lottieelton.bsky.social in this week’s @bigissue.com says:

AI is bad for translation.

I am using human translators for my film ‘Fires and Fascism’ for the same reason…

“it’s about nuance, culture, meaning. It misses subtleties - empathy, context, cultural understanding”
