Anti-Copyright Cinema : SUPERSIZE ME! : this friday @ rampART

31-08-2004 23:51

Friday Night Anti-Copyright Cinema @ the Rampart Social Centre

On the 25th August, Tufnells Parks' ex-Grand Banks Social Centre was evicted in a pre-dawn raid by baliffs and police. The liberated space had been a thriving centre of community activitiy for over six months. One of the regular events, held every Friday evening, was the Anti-Copyright Cinema. Described as acts of disobedience against intellectual property rights and the monopolisation of accumulative knowledge - free films in other words!

This week only (in defiance against the closure of autonomous spaces and in solidarity with those who have had their social centre taken away from them), the rampART is hosting it's own Friday Evening Anti-copyright Cinema, featuring a premiere of Supersize Me which gets it's official release in UK cinemas seven days later.

Also screening
* The Corporation (19 minute version)
* Consumption
and, if we can obtain copies in time
* McLibel Two Worlds Collide
* McSpotlight the video
plus loads of other amusing shorts.

There will be appropriate food and drink available (do you want fries with that?)
and a late night jam session (so bring your instruments) as we'll have the stage and PA setup for the gig on Saturday night [4th Sept : Gertrude + God Like Animals + The Rub]

Education is not a Commodity for Trade

31-08-2004 14:29

"Educational policy can and must bring light into globalization.. The world is no longer as simple as in biblical times when the traders could be simply chased out of the temple. Education must remain master in its own house. The dream of humanity of a global peaceful coexistence thorugh encounter and enlightenment is too precious.. Education itself is not merchandise or a commodity.."

Taking up peace, putting down arms. c what some have to say about this one.

31-08-2004 13:11

"...to make the political and cultural case for peaceful resistance, that being a pacifist does not mean that you have been pacified. Unfortunately, the only people who have so far made that case are some Arab intellectuals and outsiders. Painful as it is, I hope the anarchy in Iraq will deliver at least this one hope." - yet another a pittyful use of the word anarchy,we know, anyway, we know what he means, so, lets move on to the artickle...
