<BR>
The Tour. <BR>
<BR>
We are producing an independent feature about the history and practices of t=
he <BR>
Indymedia movement, with a focus on Indymedia Argentina as a case example, a=
nd <BR>
as a result, something of the situation in Argentina.&nbsp; Through this sto=
ry we <BR>
describe the crisis situation there as a background to the importance of <BR=
>
independent media as a communication tool for social movements.<BR>
<BR>
We are doing this film from the perspective of those within the network, and=
 <BR>
are doing so without funding from corporations or large grants. This then is=
 a <BR>
difficult proposal. So firstly this tour is a fund raising venture.&nbsp; <B=
R>
<BR>
As we are making a film that is obsessed with network theory and constructin=
g a <BR>
reality around those ideas- it makes sense to fund the film in a diffuse and=
 <BR>
horizontal fashion, and this is our objective. Though we are small collectiv=
e <BR>
actually constructing the object, the screenings and talks are a way of maki=
ng <BR>
the process more inclusive, a way to provide space to listen to other opinio=
ns <BR>
and demonstrate the idea of auto-financing through collective outreach. <BR>
<BR>
Secondly, the tour is a way to introduce the larger film project, which is E=
ye <BR>
of the Storm- the film mentioned above. We have just finished shooting for t=
he <BR>
second time in Argentina and before our most recent trip we produced a 14 mi=
n <BR>
short/trailer. It is a sort of a mini version of our ideas and is the heart=20=
of <BR>
the presentation. It talks about the relationship between media and power, a=
nd <BR>
the history of the Indymedia movement as a networked media activist response=
 to <BR>
that dichotomy. <BR>
<BR>
Finally the tour is also a way to help with distribution of a small library=20=
of <BR>
activist/political documentaries that are being produced in Argentina right=20=
<BR>
now. <BR>
<BR>
Over the last few months we have formed a collaborative personal relationshi=
p <BR>
with several video collectives in Buenos Aires (and Brazil) who are producin=
g <BR>
important and largely un-funded shorts. If our situation is difficult, their=
s <BR>
is at the very least,&nbsp; dire. Showing selections of their work - (parts=20=
which <BR>
may appear inside our film) and making them available for sale here in the <=
BR>
United States, is our way of expanding the network of which we are studying=20=
and <BR>
are part, while helping to provide the funds that will allow these groups to=
 <BR>
move forward. It is also an opportunity for the audience to view material an=
d <BR>
stories which are largely impossible to see otherwise. From the point of vie=
w <BR>
of trying to present "what is the work(s) independent media, especially in <=
BR>
South America," these films allow for an unfiltered direct experience in <BR=
>
understanding how exactly this idea manifests itself in Argentina. <BR>
<BR>
The Presentation:<BR>
This should vary depending on location. Ideally we would encourage the host=20=
<BR>
location to find another entity, whether it be a representative from an <BR>
organization related to independent media (we can help with contacts from <B=
R>
indymedia groups in your area), Argentine solidarity, or just a person with=20=
<BR>
expertise (whether it be academic or personal) in one or more of the areas w=
e <BR>
touch on. The idea here is to provide a locally accessible perspective to th=
e <BR>
events, while introducing the topics from another point of view.<BR>
This is not a requirement, only a suggestion.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
We will be prepared to show one hour of material- all subtitled and give a <=
BR>
short talk 15- 20 minutes. The rest of the time, 45 minutes is open to <BR>
discussion and questions. In total, we expect no more than two hours.<BR>
<BR>
This program is variable and can be leaned more toward issues surrounding <B=
R>
independent media, how to do truly independent film production, issues <BR>
surrounding our experiences in Argentina, or even the implications of networ=
k <BR>
theory-depending on the desires of the host location. Left to our own device=
s <BR>
however, we try and combine them somewhat equally.<BR>
<BR>
The film screenings will include<BR>
<BR>
Our short Eye of the Storm, described above: 14 minutes.<BR>
La Bisagra de Historia (The Hinge of History): 17 minutes<BR>
Compa=F1ero Piquetero: 12 minutes<BR>
Piquete Pueyrredon: 23 minutes/ Or Anita Garibialdi 20 min(Indymedia Brazil)=
<BR>
<BR>
La Bisagra is a short by a collective called Vente Veo Video and it document=
s <BR>
the uprisings in Buenos Aires on Dec 19th and 20th of last year. It shows th=
e <BR>
events from the point of view of those in the streets- and is a rare glimpse=
 on <BR>
a historic event barely covered here in the U.S.<BR>
<BR>
Piquete Pueyrredon is a production of several videographers under the umbrel=
la <BR>
of Indymedia Argentina. It analysis the violent repression of an organizatio=
n <BR>
of unemployed workers (MTD) last spring, in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, whi=
ch <BR>
left two dead and dozens badly injured. It discusses the role of corporate <=
BR>
media and its complicity in vilifying the protesters. It then goes on to sho=
w <BR>
another point of view, including archival interviews with the slain, as it <=
BR>
attempts to describe the goals and positive work of this autonomous and <BR>
horizontal organization.<BR>
<BR>
Compa=F1ero Piquetero is a short, edited in-camera, by an untrained youth wh=
o <BR>
lives in the poverty stricken outskirts of Buenos Aires.&nbsp; Although humo=
rous at <BR>
times, this short is also a stark portrayal of the reality of the ultra <BR>
marginalized from a point of view that could be obtained no other way.<BR>
<BR>
Anita Garibaldi- Sometimes we choose to show this film instead of Coma=F1ero=
.&nbsp; It <BR>
describes an piece of land outside of Sa=F5 Paulo where several thousand hom=
eless <BR>
people have moved, to occupy it and begin a better life outside of hierarchy=
.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
It goes without saying that these films, as well as the others we will be <B=
R>
bringing in our library to distribute, largely do not exist in the United <B=
R>
States at this time. Showing them is a special opportunity to bring them to=20=
an <BR>
audience that will likely have no opportunity to see them otherwise. <BR>
<BR>
I hope this helps. Please tell us if you need something else. When the time=20=
<BR>
comes we can help with a press packet and photos if needed. Feel free to cal=
l <BR>
us.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
(401)-521-1782<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Some notes about funding<BR>
<BR>
We are not asking for a guarantee from the more community adhoc locations, b=
ut <BR>
we are hoping that these screenings will allow us to continue our work. <BR>
Sometimes it is easier to find a sponsoring organization such as a Universit=
y, <BR>
other times the fundraisers are best helped through the organization of some=
 <BR>
kind of show, where a band or DJ could donate their time. We like to leave <=
BR>
these decisions to the host locations. Obviously, however, one requirement i=
s <BR>
that you should have a space with a video projector, some kind of screen, an=
d <BR>
appropriate sound system. <BR>
<BR>
We are also asking that at university sponsored events, some contact is made=
 <BR>
before hand with the University Film Department/archives to think about <BR>
purchasing one or more items from our library. This is important as the tour=
 <BR>
relies on a <BR>
relationship with filmmakers in Argentina and Brazil. Their films are an <BR=
>
important part of our presentation and the purchase of films by universities=
 <BR>
allows us to charge instiutional rates- this is one way to funnel more <BR>
resources South. <BR>
<BR>
Thank you for your time-<BR>

<BR>
MAC users(QuickTime):<BR>
Two links at the very top of the page:<BR>
<BR>
-"QuickTime at 26.5 mebibytes " <BR>
This is the streaming broadband version. For some<BR>
reason you need to stretch the window out some to see<BR>
the whole picture. Stretch the window out until you<BR>
can see the play/pause bar at the bottom of the page<BR>
<BR>
-"download" same thing but goes to your hardrive.<BR>
Recommended- it will take about 10 minutes for a DSL/ Cable modem user.<BR>
<BR>
PC users (Windows media Player)-<BR>
scroll down past the Spanish and then English text<BR>
<BR>
two versions<BR>
<BR>
-one link called "windows media at 4.0 mebibytes"<BR>
This is highly compressed version for 56k modems- not<BR>
recommended unless you only have a 56K modem<BR>
<BR>
-"windows media at 26.5 mebibytes"<BR>
This usually works great.<BR>

BIOGRAPHICAL INFO: Biographies.<BR>
<BR>
Eye of the Storm Films is a collective organization headed up by two <BR>
filmmakers, Andr=E9s Ingoglia and Raphael Lyon.<BR>
<BR>
After producing a 14minute short/ trailer that was eagerly accepted by the <=
BR>
Rotterdam, NY Underground, and Chicago International Documentary film <BR>
festivals, Andr=E9s and Raphael returned to Argentina for another two months=
 to <BR>
shoot the rest of what will be a feature film on the same subjects. They are=
 <BR>
now balancing the tough work of completing production while they raise money=
 <BR>
showing underground political documentaries from Argentina, speaking about <=
BR>
independent media, and through it- the significance of the Indymedia movemen=
t. <BR>
<BR>
The motivation to complete this project and bring the conceptual practices o=
f <BR>
indymedia to a wider public is inspired by the potential and real synergy of=
 <BR>
horizontal organizational structures and a movement to democratize media <BR=
>
making. The movement of independent media in general, and Indymedia in speci=
fic <BR>
- both here and Argentina - has shown that through allowing people to tell <=
BR>
their own stories, one can unite social movements. At the same time, it <BR>
provides an important point of resistance to the worldwide corporate hegemon=
y <BR>
of communication, culture, and ideas.<BR>
<BR>
Andres is an experienced video journalist from the city of Buenos Aires, whe=
re <BR>
he was born and raised. After working for several years in both print and <B=
R>
television, he left Argentina frustrated by the strictures imposed by his <B=
R>
bosses, only to arrive in NYC where things were much worse. There he met <BR=
>
Raphael Lyon.<BR>
<BR>
Raphael is an award winning filmmaker and activist who graduated with honors=
 <BR>
from Brown University in 1998, and has been on the run ever since.<BR>
Eye of the Storm will be his sixth film, and the first to be made entirely i=
n <BR>
digital video. He is very optimistic that this will be his first feature len=
gth <BR>
film to actually be completed. <BR>
This however, may just be the mat=E9 talking.<BR>
