BEyONdTV at the ESF - REPORT BACK

12-01-2005 16:13

Audience for the Palm Court lobby (the entrance of Alexandra Palace)
PROPOSAL
The proposal was to set up “mini-cinemas” in official and autonomous spaces during the ESF, showing short, punchy activist films. The technology would be re-cycled computers which would be of sufficiently low value to be left unattended, placed in a box and with a continuously running playlist programmed at the beginning of the day. The screen would therefore be a computer monitor. The aim was also to enable people to “DIY” encode their own films for them to be added to an ever-expanding playlist.
Politically it would be an anarchic, upbeat intervention in the more hidebound conventions of the political conference. Practically it would provide the opportunity for the showing of activist shorts which conventional cinema screenings can be reluctant to programme. It would also enable screening spontaneity and last-minute, urgent, campaign-based screenings. Potentially it would be very transferable to other venues and events.
It would also offer campaigning film makers an opportunity for “copyleft” distribution via “Ruffcuts” CDs, and had the wider remit of helping to build an effective network of radical film makers.

trouble free opening night for threatend film fest

11-01-2005 03:26

The first night of the indian activist film festival at the rampART went ahead without hitch and no show from the rightwing Hindu groups that have been trying to get the festival canceled. Over one hundred people turned up but there was no indication that any dissenting Hindus were present. The was a great deal of media attention during the day from Channel 4, BBC Asian Network and many papers, all seemingly finding a story in comparing the resent attacks on the theatre in Birmingham. Many people have been offering to be on call to come down if there is any trouble during the rest of the week and yet another alterative venue offered. Aditionally it looks like quite a few further screenings elsewhere in the country will be spawned from this one.

Despite the no show, it appears the UK VHP have been busy during the day making statements to the press...

Censored in America - 2004 in Protest
by Kali Autumn Lynn Sunday, Dec. 26, 2004 at 12:49 AM
 kali@insurgentvoice.org

2004 Was yet another banner year for censorship and repression of free speech. Yet millions of Americans hit the streets in protest. This video shows America in action and makes you wonder, but for our sell out media, what kind of popular movement would we have today?

Rumsfeld: Doing the Dance over Flight 93

31-12-2004 19:22

Silver-tongued devil that he is.
In a speech to US troops in Baghdad on Christmas Eve, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld made passing reference to the United Airlines flight 93 that crashed over Pennsylvania after being hijacked on September 11th, 2001. His remark that the plane was “shot down”, while not deemed worth more than passing mention by major media outlets, ignited a storm of speculation by independent journalists on the internet.
