SEAD Screening of ‘Rana Plaza’ by Carla Novi 25th Feb 2015
Two months before the collapse of Rana Plaza, Glasgow based artist, Carla Novi visited a garment factory in Savar to interview women workers. She recorded a series of songs and interviews with the women. The factory that she visited was Rana Plaza. Little did she know that two months after her visit, the fifteen voices that she recorded would be buried under the factory’s rubble. A year after the collapse, Carla decided to go back to Bangladesh to find out what happened to the fifteen women that she had met in her previous visit.
Carla screened her documentary, ‘Rana Plaza’, at the CCA, Glasgow, as part of the Human Rights Documentary Film Festival. The film follows her personal journey, from her first visit to Dhaka before the factory collapsed, to her return a year after.
We will be holding a screening of Carlas emotive film on Wednesday 25th February from 6.30 to 9pm. There will be a Q&A session with Carla Novi following the screening of her film.
Tickets are by suggested donation of £5. Please contact SEAD to book and tickets are also available on the door. You can also join the event by our Facebook page
The event will take place at Venue, Norton Park Conference Centre, Training Suite, Albion Road, Edinburgh EH7 5QY
