**Wednesday, 2 December – #FirstWeds: Repeal the 8th, Free, 19:00, Wigwam**

Campaigners, activists and interested parties will gather to discuss a 32-year-old piece of legislation that serves to punish rather than protect, forcing women out of the country and confiscating the reproductive rights of those who cannot go, whether they are on lower incomes or lack the ability or right to travel. Speakers on the night will include Nita Mishra, a PhD researcher on rights-based approaches, Amel Yacef, the chairperson of [AkiDwA](http://akidwa.ie/?ref=dublininquirer.com) and Soraya Sobrevia, a case worker in the [Migrant Rights Centre Ireland](http://www.mrci.ie/?ref=dublininquirer.com). Dublin City Councillor Eilis Ryan of the Workers’ Party will act as moderator. Facebook page [here](https://www.facebook.com/events/807945796018268/).

**Saturday, 5 December – Suspended Animation 01, BYOB, €20/25/28, A bowling alley . . . somewhere.**

**Sunday, 6 December – *Bernadette Devlin: Notes on a Political Journey*, €4, 16:00, Jigsaw**

Bernadette Devlin, an Irish socialist and republican activist, came to international prominence at 21 years old when she was elected as a member of the UK’s House of Commons in 1969 on the strength of her role in the People’s Democracy civil-rights group, and her outspoken approach. Directed by Leila Doolan, *Notes on a Political Journey* was released in 2011, and features later interviews with Devlin as well as the highly publicised footage from the time of her election as the then-youngest MP.

**Monday, 7 December –** ***Carol*, €9, 16:30/20:30, Irish Film Institute**

In 1948, Patricia Highsmith was a young writer, engaged to Marc Brandel. She had wolfish good looks and a talent for seducing women. Working behind a toy counter in Bloomingdales, she developed a penchant for rich, married women – usually blondes. Her novel *The Price of Salt*, published in 1952, was inspired by one such woman. Directed by Todd Haynes, *Carol* is the adaptation of this story. Details [here](http://www.ifi.ie/carol?ref=dublininquirer.com).
