The London Indymedia film festival against the G8 kicks off this Friday evening (7th July) at Rampart Creative center...
starting with
'THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES:THE SHADOWS IN THE CAVE'
questioning whether the threat from a hidden and organised terrorist network is in fact a manufactured illusion. In this concluding part of a series, the programme explains how the illusion was created and who benefits from it; comparing the rise of the American neoconservatives and radical Islamists, suggesting that both are closely connected; that some popular beliefs about these groups are inaccurate; and that both movements have benefited from exaggerating the scale of the terrorist threat.
Followed by 'ARABS AND TERRORISM'
researched in 6 languages and filmed on location in 10 countries, with 90 experts/politicians and hundreds of street interviews in the United States, Europe, and the Arab world. It examines the dominant discourse on terrorism in the United States and Europe and offers critics an opportunity to respond.
Films start at 8pm
hot & cold drinks and possibly food available
Entry is FREE or by donation
