[IMC-bristol] film night info

hello

after this wednesday nights screening -  we're then booked for December 
3rd.  Here's the copy I gave to the Cube for that one...

======================================================================================================
Title indymedia film nights

Body of text - An ongoing showcase of contemporary filmmakers who are 
finding new forms of cinema to show resistance to Globalisation throughout 
the world.

Tonights line up includes a short community film from the EASTON COMMUNITY 
ASSOCIATION, the POPSTAR LIBERATION FRONT's film on the local Hardcore 
scene,   a short film from ARGENTINA INDYMEDIA & a stripped down version of 
'WE INTERUPT THIS EMPIRE' - on the barricades in San Fransisco.

The main feature will be FOOTPRINTS - Filmed in Afghanistan and 
Laos,  Footprints is a study of the effect of cluster bombs on people and 
landscape.   Where once a landscape was life-providing, after contamination 
by these bombs,  it becomes a source of terror and death. The film studies 
the landscape and  its people, and enquires into the lives and dreams of 
the victims of cluster-bomb accidents. And finally, it analyses the design 
and military purposes of these weapons, and questions whether they should 
be subject to restrictive laws in the future.
======================================================================================================

I'm pleased to say that the director of FOOTPRINTS Ben Hopkins has offered 
to come and introduce this.

I also have a screening penned in for Tuesday December 9th in 
Bath  +  January 26th for next one at Cube.  I have Big Noises' 'Fourth 
World War' pencilled in,  but we still need some appropriate short films, 
so if you have any ideas please let me know - especially local stuff.

We still need someone to introduce the films this coming Wednesday ( tom - 
are you ok to do this? )

On the question about fundraising in order to make these night free ( Bath 
screenings are free ) I would say that its the main reason for doing 
this.  I think it would make the nights more inclusive - and ultimately 
busier.  If we can - why not?


cheers
ian
