Uganda's first sci-fi film, Her Broken Shadow follows the twisted story of two lonely female writers, each living in different time zones, but who look so alike that they must be the other's doppelgänger.

Director Dilman Dila is an exciting creative voice from Uganda, having won awards for his sci-fi literature and now also for his filmmaking.

Around the same time as Bobby Paul Sayers​ artist self employment and benefits workshop at our residency, Evening Class​ in London were holding an Antiuniversity Now​ event // Dependent on experience. Here is the PDF reader they produced for the event around the idea of WORK and what it often means in creative capacities. Nice work guys.

Some members of POOL just went self employed, and couldn't attend their own workshop due to WORK and so we will be organising another peer-to-peer tax session in the coming months so we can work out how to be grown up, and maximise our minimum incomes into some kind of team affluence-ey. It will be in August or September.
