The eruption of the brutal Islamic State in the Middle East has placed the Kurdish people In Iraq, Syria and Turkey at the centre of the political stage.

The most effective opposition to the Islamic State killers has come from the revolutionary democratic wing of the Kurdish freedom movement — the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and the People’s Protection Units and Women’s Protection Units in Rojava in northern Syria.

Directed by the mysterious "Banksy", Exit Through the Gift Shop is a brilliant examination of the underground street art culture, and an intriguing look at commercialisation of art. The multi-layered film is humorous art itself, poking fun at the "trendiness" of street art, the millionaires who want to purchase it, and revealing the contradictions of the art form. Free film screening as part of the Resistance Club AGM
