Over summer we’ve got a whole series of tenantspin live events here at FACT.

On Tuesday 8th July, as part of a series of community-based film screenings, we play host to Toxteth TV, who will be showing ‘L8A’. The film sees four groups of young people each work with a different filmmaker to produce four unique films about the history of Toxteth. ‘L8A’ provides a unique insight and exploration of key events, buildings and people that have helped shape the area. The event starts at 6:30pm and entry is free, but please book tickets in advance.

On Wednesday 30th July, from 4:00pm-6:00pm, tenantspin will host ‘Trading Places’, an afternoon of film and discussion focusing on the ongoing debate surrounding Local v’s Global, from High Street to Superstore, Corner Shop to Express Market. The afternoon will feature the screening of a tenantspin film ‘Market Share?’ by producer/director Steve Moss looking at the changing environment and community spaces around Park Road, Dingle as the area is regenerated and redeveloped, specifically looking at a vibrant local market and its future as the land is sold off to develop a large national superstore. After the film there will be an opportunity for discussion and we also invite you to join us for a screening of the film ‘Chain’ by Jem Cohen.

Is the predicted recession related to an energy crisis? As energy prices rise we ask, what are we doing to our planet and where does the responsibility lie. Is there an energy gap, is it crisis time for humanity? How will we function in 30 years time? Demand for energy, in all its forms is rising while supplies of key resources, most notably oil and gas, show signs of decline. With the planet’s population continuing to rise and the
majority of its six billion people seeking a richer lifestyle, when will the consumption stop? On 13th August , from 2:00pm-3:00pm, tenantspin will host ‘The End of My World’, which will explore these themes with an assortment of invited guests, including Economists and Environmental activists, and ask: What is the future of our world?
