[IMC-bristol] Cube filmz

[ian]

hello

The programme for February 25th Cube screening is below (please circulate) 
- should be a cracking one...

nice one tom - that sounds ideal.

I think it could be constructive to get her down to introduce & discuss for 
an evening.  Shes sounds like an interesting character with a great body of 
work.

The cube screening for March could be a suitable date.

I've been working on the premise that for each screening we have two hours 
of film time.

I've been chatting with Rich Cookson (venue/big issue)& James Garret (HTV) 
about doing a presentation + film showing around the theme of 'THE MERCHANT 
VENTURERS' which I'm trying to get sorted out as well for the March 
screening.  That would need an hour as well...

what do you think?  merchant venturers + your film maker friend on the same 
evening?  sounds good to me.  I quite like the sound of the diamond film ( 
theres also a GNN film on the same theme that could be suitable... )


I guess we can discuss this further at Thursday meeting.


best
ian

Title - Indymedia films
Date - Wednesday February 25th

the world.

Tonights line up includes a short film & presentation from  The PRESSWISE 
TRUST <http://www.presswise.org.uk/>www.presswise.org.uk   Set up in 1993 
by  'victims of media abuse',  & supported by concerned journalists, media 
lawyers and politicians in the UK.  They'll be showing  ON THE RECEIVING

The main feature will be THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED  -   The 
Venezuelan Presidential Palace,   April 11th 2002. Two Irish filmmakers are

intimate portrait of the newly elected leader. To their shock, they find 
themselves filming the very first political coup of the 21st century. A 
shocking blow-by-blow account of the 48 hours in which Chavez was deposed 
and returned to power amid bloody street battles and media mayhem, 
containing  never-before seen footage.  More info at
