Video Activists to run cinema at Glastonbury festival.

The sun cream is packed with the welly boots so it must be time for Glastonbury festival. Undercurrents, a media charity will celebrate its tenth birthday by screening a decade of their award winning films at Britain's largest and most popular festival.

Working in partnership with the worlds first solar powered cinema, Groovy Movie, five film makers from the Swansea based Undercurrents will form an integral part of the Green Futures field at the festival in Somerset on June 25th, 26th & 27th.

Paul O' Connor from Undercurrents said
“The festival scene is a valuable arena for people seeking a more sustainable world. The thousands of people who will pack into our cinema over the festival will discover how news can be presented. Our unique format will inspire rather than bore, educate instead of creating fear. This will be the news you won’t see on the news!”

One of the key films to be screened as part of 'Alternative News at 10pm' will be `Reach for the Sky', a documentary chronicling the debate surrounding the expansion of Swansea airport. While experts forecast more flooding and sweltering heat waves due to climate change, their fingers are pointing at the increasing pollution from the airline industry. This film will explore how cheap flights are fueling future disasters and how local people are turning to direct action in an attempt to stop the airport expansion.

Other screenings will include their latest compilation of radical news from around the world on Undercurrents News Network.

Paul O' Connor continued,
“Festivals, such as Glastonbury create relaxed people which makes them receptive to new ideas. Climate change is going to affect us all so we hope that our ten years of films will offer inspiration and education to all.”

I wanna watch Bolshevision! Nice slip 'commentator'

One advantage to having braindead illiterate rightwing gluesniffers post their verbiage here is we get 'commentator'!

This geezer couldnt spell bolshevism...so instead gives us the new word 'Bolshivison'...what a really fuckin' good name for an alternative cinema or tv you have coined there! An truly inspirational slip up there, m8!
I suppose to make it really correct, we would have to spell it 'bolshevision'. Excellent! :)

( Duh! Of course there is a mass audience keenly interested in alternatives to war, climate chaos, corporate greed, etc. Just coz a few sad ol trotskyists plus galloway couldn't unite people into a new political movement says nothing. they are bound to alienate eveyone, no suprise there, Sherlock! Radical left politics left these behind years ago. Of course large amounts of young people care about the future of our planet and the freedom to live their lives!

Go for it undercurrents! People gonna lurve it! Yeah!
