    Abstract: Women do much of the unskilled work on construction sites in India. Most are casual labourers and hardly any are unionised. Women Builders provides snapshots from the lives of four such women working together on a large building site in the Central Indian state of Chhattisgarh. In some other states there are small scale initiatives to improve conditions of workers, and the second part of the film focuses on two such organisations in Ahmedebad: the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), who run an insurance scheme and a skills training course, and a small trade union concentrates on helping tribal migrants to improve living and working conditions. At a national level new legislation has been introduced which, if implemented, would address key problems to do with safety, health and welfare. The film concludes with commentary from an activist and an official on the new laws. "Women Builders" was commissioned by the International Labor Organisation (ILO) in consultation with the International Federation of Building and Woodworkers (IFBWW). The ILO had previously commissioned a shorter health and safety film from the same team. The director and crew were from Jandarshan, a community video unit based in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh State. The producer, Margaret Dickinson, is from UK and had co-ordinated an EU funded project which had provided training for the people who now staff the Jandarshan Unit. During the project she had also done some of the teaching, together with Indian and other European staff and therefore knew the students, now the staff of Jandarshan, quite well. A further relevant connection is that the idea for the original EU project had been influenced by the fact that Margaret' husband, the anthropologist Jonathan Parry, who had done field work in Bhilai, a major steel town 25 km from Raipur. These factors can be seen to influence the film. The IFBWW had wanted a film to focus more closely on the work of their affiliates and indeed subsequently commissioned another film from Jandarshan, 'Labouring Brick by Brick' which uses more of the footage on the Ahmedebad trade union shot for Women Builders plus material on other IFBWW affiliates in other states. Margaret and the ILO officer who gave the commission were more interested in showing the normal situation where there is no formal organisation among the labourers. The crew speak Chhattisgarhi and Hindi but not Gujarati and were therefore much more comfortable shooting in Chhattisgarh. The introduction to the building workers on the Chhattisgarh sites came from Jonathan Parry and his research assistant, (Ajay T.G. who had previously been trained in video along with the Jandarshan crew); the introduction to workers in Gujarat came from SEWA and the local IFBWW affiliate. The results and the process of production raise a series of questions about documentary film and about unorganised labour and the various agendas of activists, ethnographers, politicians, the labourers and their employers.

    Abstract: As a bloody struggle between the nationalist uprising of General Francisco Franco and the government of the Second Spanish Republic, the Spanish Civil War raged unchecked in Spain from 1936 through 1939. A definitive number of casualties has never emerged, but historians now estimate the death toll at somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 lives. Given these approximations, and the subsequent history of Spain (where Franco reigned until his death at age 83 in November 1975), two questions naturally arise: what purpose, if any, did the Spanish Civil War serve - and what did Europe gain from it? Made to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the formation of the National Brigades the reflective documentary Memories of a Future finds two filmmakers - Spanish Pepe Petos and English Margaret Dickinson - teaming up to answer these questions effectively with extended cinematic reflections on the trajectory of the Spanish Civil War and speculations about what it meant for future generations.
