SUMMARY:Tambaku Chaakila Oob Aali (Tobacco Embers)
DESCRIPTION:Image Credits: Yugantar and Deepa Dhanraj\n\nAs part of the con
 ference\, MAP will host a screening of Tambaku Chaakila Oob Aali\, a film 
 by Yugantar Film Collective from 1983 that traces the history and strike a
 ctions of the All Women Trade Union of over 3000 tobacco workers in Nipani
  (Karnataka). Made in collaboration with female tobacco factory workers\, 
 the film documents\, re-enacts and takes forward one of the largest moveme
 nts of unorganised labour of its time and context which sparked unionising
  processes across Karnataka and Maharashtra throughout the 1980s. Attracte
 d by the power of these large scale strike actions provoked by women worke
 rs and following the spirit of mobilising for the left labour and the wome
 n’s movement\, the Yugantar film collective embarked on their second fil
 m. The collective spent four months with the women tobacco factory workers
  in Nipani\, listening to their accounts of exploitative working condition
 s\, discussing strategies for unionising and concrete steps to broaden sol
 idarities across factories for massive strike actions. Through this collab
 oration\, the film team was able to film circumstances inside factories hi
 therto unrepresented in film as they followed the women workers’ leads a
 s to what\, where and how their actions should be recorded. \n\nYugantar
 ’s continuous commitment to the complexity of political friendships and 
 how to ‘stand with’ provoked a then pioneering collaborative filmmakin
 g practice embodied in large-scale re-enactments of protests\, a voice-ove
 r as pluriverse testimony and the production of the first screen presence 
 of working-class women on screen organising and ‘speaking to power’. T
 his film is a powerful example of a feminist third cinema\, a factory film
 \, also called a ‘strike manual’ by current union activists.
