Coming of age in occupied Syria vs. Germany’s computer hackers – tonight at 8.

by Annabelle Butterworth

Is a hacker a social nuisance or a new breed of artist? Come and join the debate at tonight’s screening of Hacker at the Horse Hospital.

Whether you’re a fully fledged hacker, a wannabe, or just curious as to why there is such a huge sub-culture of ‘mathematical artists’, as one teenagers proclaims of himself, then head out for tonight’s conversation in film at 8, and find out what produces ‘an immense feeling of power’ in a hackers unusual world, and why they feel their work achieves a ‘a new perspective’ on life.

Or, if life in Israeli-occupied Syria is of more interest to you, the Free Word Centre is screening Shout tonight at 8, a simply wonderful film about two friends struggling with ‘undefined citizenship’ and their desire to go back to their ‘free’ homeland in order to study in Damascus. A fascinating journey of discovery that is not to be missed.
