19-3 film: An Anarchist’s Story, the life of Ethel MacDonald

Spaanse filmmaand Bis: An Anarchist’s Story, the life of Ethel MacDonald

op 19 maart organiseert de AGA: Spaanse Filmmaand Bis, Na het succes van de spaanse filmmaand in februari, vertonen we nog een film in het zelfde thema. Het is nog steeds koud en kil in maart dus kom weer gezellig naar de Bollox. 19:00 soep en tapas, 20:00 start film





De Film: An Anarchist’s Story, the life of Ethel MacDonald Mark Littlewood, UK, 2007, 77 min Taal: engels/spaans (spaanse is engels ondertiteld)

This drama-documentary tells the story of Ethel MacDonald. A forgotten legend, her story ranks alongside the courage of ‘La Pasionaria’ and the legendary ‘Odette’. Whilst both these women sustained world-wide recognition, the Scots heroine dwindled into obscurity and remains forgotten to this day. Ethel MacDonald’s own intimate recollections are presented through a definitive mix of documentary and drama, re-visiting the Killing Fields that were the Spanish Civil War. Supporting commentary spoken by David Hayman paired with expert interviews, including Noam Chomsky, provides background knowledge of 1930′s European Politics and a further insight into the young Scot’s motives, actions and social situation. The film links her own personal drama to specific archive footage of Barcelona in disarray – an image Ethel MacDonald came to know so well.

Boek bij de film

Kaft van het boek

Kort na het uitkomen van bovengenoemde gedramatiseerde documentaire, schreef Chris Dolan een biografie over Ethel MacDonald. Hij reconstrueerde daarin haar complete leven. Ondanks de kleine feitelijk foutjes - net als in de documentaire - zijn boek en film zeer de moeite waard. Ze egeven een realistisch inkijkje in de rol van de Spaanse en Russische communisten in de Spaanse Burgeroorlog, die er alles aan deden om de sociale revolutie die sinds juli 1936 op gang was gekomen, de nek om te draaien.

Auteur: Dolan, Chris
Titel: An Anarchist's Story
Sub titel: The Life Of Ethel Macdonald
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1936, with civil war sweeping through Spain, Ethel Macdonald - a working-class girl from Motherwell - was to become, for a year, one of the world's most famous voices. She was perhaps the first example of an 'embedded reporter', sending dispatches and broadcasts back from the Spanish Anarchist camp in Barcelona to the UK. But she made no pretence of 'impartiality' or balance of opinion; she was a lifelong anarchist, utterly committed to her cause. Mystery surrounds Ethel Macdonald, from her birth certificate to the last days of her life. When Ethel suddenly fell silent in Barcelona she became the focus of an international search and intergovernmental negotiations. In 1937 the optimism of the previous year had gone. Ethel had been imprisoned, escaped, and was in hiding in a foreign country in the grip of war.Dubbed on newspaper headlines 'The Scots Scarlet Pimpernel', she was imprisoned by her erstwhile comrades, the very people she had been fighting alongside; and now that she was silenced and in danger, she became even more of an enigma. This book uses contemporary accounts, her own words and those of her close associates to unravel the extraordinary mystery of Ethel Macdonald and examines the unique impact that she had during this fascinating period of European history.
