Projectile is a major political and cultural event in the anarchist calendar. Now in its fourth year it promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Whats on?

Films, discussions, practical workshops,panel debates, Q and As, music, poetry and art installations will be squeezed like veritable sardines into the four days. We'll be watching, talking about and listening to: Chiapas, Ethel MacDonald, class war, punk rock, situationism, queer politics and memories of 1968 from a Geordie working class perspective.

Highlights of the Festival are a live webcast with Professor Noam Chomsky (regarded as the most important intellectual alive today), discussing how anarchism has illuminated his critical thought and Paul Mason, Newsnights business and industrial correspondent, talking about amongst other things the Paris commune of 1871 and the emergence of working class struggle in China, where underreported wild cat strikes and popular uprisings are threatening the fabric of this dominant superpower.
