October 15 2025 // Remi Caron // Magazine // Interviews
On Monday October 20th, 2025 Cinema Politica will be screening The Encampments at 19H in the SGWH Hall building at Concordia University H-110. The documentary from director Michael T Workman and Ken Pritsker follows the recent campus protests against Isreal’s genocide in Gaza focusing on the two cases from Columbia University. At a time when freedom of speech is policed with such rigour, The Encampments provides a vital opportunity to hear what protesters have to say about Israel, Palestine, and accountability when it comes to how universities and other learning institutions speak and invest their money.

A year and a half ago, during Montreal’s Jazz Fest on July 5, 2024, my friend went to see Berlioz at MTELUS. After the show, she asked the band the classic question: “Where’s the afters?” In what felt like fate, they replied, “We’re going upstairs.” Upstairs was where TUKAN was performing.
