[CIMC-work] University of Chicago antiwar film series

[dwlb@uchicago.edu]

Hi CIMC!

The University of Chicago No War in Iraq group is showing anti-war films every
week for the rest of the year.  While the entire schedule for the feature films
is set, we'd love to include some of the short 5 minute pieces that chicago
indymedia videographers have been collecting.   

I'm really spread out right now, but you can contact Christina Moon:
cmoon@uchicago.edu for more information about the No War in Iraq film series

Also, I have a 5 minute short that a student from Oakton Community college made
about the March 5th actions, and I have some footage about the March 5th action
at the U of C if you guys want it for your screening.

Here are two screenings this week at the U of C that you all might be interested
in.  I know a lot of you live on the north side, but if you want to come down to
check it out, that would be great.  (The Thursday screening may have a suprise
intermission for a rendezvous with UNITE and invigorating stroll to the U of C
job fair :)

peace, 

Dan LB

A short by a collective called Vente Veo Video that documents the uprisings

poing of view of those on the streets and is a rare glimpse of a historic
event barely covered here in the US.

This film is an analysis of the violent repression of an organization of

A short by an untrained youth who lives in the pverty stricken outskirts of
Buenos Aires.
