Why

University students and staff across Naarm, invite you to the screening of The Encampments, a film that offers an urgent, intimate portrait of America’s student movement, ignited at Columbia University as students protested their universities’ ties to the war on Gaza. Their actions sparked a nationwide and global uprising, with encampments spreading across hundreds of campuses, around the world.

Featuring activist Mahmoud Khalil, alongside professors, whistleblowers, and organizers, the film captures the deeper stakes of a historic moment that continues to reverberate across the globe.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with students who were part of the encampments at their own universities in Naarm, including those currently under threat of expulsion and other disciplinary measures.

The film commences at 6:30 PM SHARP so please arrive 15-20 mins prior to screening. General admission.

Q&A session commences at 8:00 PM and concludes at 8:30 PM.

Ticket prices are Pay What You Can and are offered on a sliding scale from $10-$30 (plus booking fee).
