I am Not a Moderate

http://www.iamnotamoderate.com/ The story of Fo's campaign is told in a new documentary, I Am Not a Moderate (Fo's campaign slogan), which premiered at the Locarno Festival this summer. The title is telling. Fo doesn't do moderation. For more than 50 years, he has been scandalising and provoking the authorities. One might have expected the Nobel Prize for Literature that came his way in 1997 to make him more accepted in Italy, but he annoys contemporary politicians just as much as he did their grandfathers in the 1950s. Silvio Berlusconi detests him. http://arts.independent.co.uk/film/features/article2901161.ece

The Blood of My Brother

The Blood of My Brother tells a story of the war in Iraq from a perspective rarely seen. The primary point of view is Iraqi—a family grieving at the tragic death of its eldest son. After years of hard work, Ra’ad, an Iraqi portrait photographer, has saved enough money to open his own shop. On the night of the opening, while volunteering to guard the ancient mosque in Kadhimiya, Ra’ad is shot and killed by an American patrol.

Longing for revenge, Ra’ad’s brother Ibrahim dreams of joining the Shia uprising against the American occupation. But as the only male left in the family, Ibrahim must take on the role of breadwinner. “When I see a burning tank, it makes me happy. When I see any Americans or Jews, I want revenge, but I can’t. I have to take care of the house.” While some of his friends leave home to fight the Americans, Ibrahim attempts to continue his brother’s business and provide for his mother and two sisters.

The Blood of My Brother takes the viewer behind the scenes of the growing Shia insurgency with scenes of fighting and death on the streets of Sadr City and Najaf. The Blood of My Brother brings war-torn Iraq to life with intimate detail. This is the closest most will ever come to being there, kneeling in prayer amidst a thousand Muslim worshippers, the roar of low-flying Apaches, riding atop a sixty-ton tank, driving with masked resistance fighters to attack American positions, fleeing the threat of an overwhelming response, the blood in the street, a tank on fire, or the cold, distant stare of a dead Iraqi fighter.

Charlie Jade

Charlie Jade is the name of a science fiction television show filmed mainly in Cape Town, South Africa. It stars Jeffrey Pierce in the title role, as a detective who finds himself trapped in an alternative reality. Though viewers will doubtless recognize a similarity to Blade Runner, especially in the scenes set in the Alphaverse, Wertheimer has said in interviews that much of the ethos of the series is primarily influenced by Derek Jensen's book The Culture of Make Believe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Jade

Your guide through the world of Christendom is former fundamentalist Brian Flemming, joined by such luminaries as Jesus Seminar fellow Robert M. Price, professor Richard Dawkins, author Sam Harris and historian Richard Carrier.

See the movie the Los Angeles Times calls "provocative - to put it mildly."

Hold on to your faith. It's in for a bumpy ride.

Live Nude Girls Unite!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005LDC7/102-6999433-5327358?v=glance
This is a must-see for anyone interested in sex workers' rights. Dancers at the Lusty Lady were being exploited by management - being paid poor wages, having no changing area, and being racially discriminated against. Query tells the story of how the women not only confronted management, but also picketed in front of the peep show. She shows you the inside of the peep booths, where customers stand, and the layout of the whole place. As she tells this story, she also tells her own coming out story - how she tells her mother she's not quite straight... A truly queer film, and one of the few that is able to celebrate sex work while still highlighting the abuses in the industry.

Disbelief
http://www.disbelief-film.com/intro.htm
A fatal bomb blast in a Moscow apartment building ignites a fury of questions about terrorism, shadow politics, and post-Soviet intrigue in Disbelief; a film as much about the high art of political deception as it is about violence and human tragedy. The bombing on September 9, 1999, of a nine-story working-class apartment complex in Moscow was quickly blamed on Chechen terrorists. But was it their crime? Or did the Russian secret service deflect its own responsibility for the bombing on the Chechens to heighten national fear and hysteria and justify Russia's subsequent military attack on the breakaway republic?

Liberty Bound
http://www.libertybound.com/ Liberty Bound takes an entertaining look at America’s ongoing struggle to keep a comfortable balance between democracy, capitalism, and fascism. This is a film about historic events that shape history. It is a film about courage and fear; ignorance and knowledge; propaganda and rhetoric. Through original footage, archived footage, and interviews with people such as Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, and Michael Ruppert, Liberty Bound explores the state of the union and its ostensible move toward fascism. We talk with people who have been interrogated by the Secret Service and threatened with arrest for doing such benign things as sending an email, turning around during a Bush speech, and having a philosophical discussion on a train.

"A letter to the Prime Minister: Jo Wilding's diary from Iraq" which has just come out, saw this last week and it's very powerful. I'm going to see if we can get this on at our local picturehouse after the g8 shenanigans have died down...

"The Take" - by Naomi Klein and someone less famous so I've forgotten It's about factory reoccupations in Argentina, really well made.

Also just got two Ken Loach films - "Land and Freedom" and "Bread and Roses" if you were after something a bit more pop. There'll probably be reviews of all those online.

"Why we fight" - military industrial complex, read a good review of this but haven't watched it yet.

USA - Green with a Vengeance - 39 min 33 sec [10 October 2001]
http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=10226 Until September 11, the group described by the FBI as America's most serious domestic terrorist threat was the ELF. The Earth Liberation Front is an army of activists waging a war on behalf of the environment. Not one life has been lost in this war - no- one has even been hurt - but politicians are baying for blood. Olivia Rousset looks at the shadowy, underground organisation that has frustrated authorities for years.

The Corporation
http://www.thecorporation.tv/about/ One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times and places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. But history humbles dominant institutions. All have been crushed, belittled or absorbed into some new order. The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history. In this complex and highly entertaining documentary, Mark Achbar, co-director of the influential and inventive THE CORPORATION charts the spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force.

the end of suburbia
http://www.endofsuburbia.com/previews.htm
a documenary about 'peak oil' & the impending global energy crisis, and was wondering whether bristol indymedia would be up for arranging a screening? although the film is quite heavily targetted at an american audience, it's very relevant to all of us over here, not least as UK production of both oil and natural gas have peaked in recent years, and look set to decline much more quickly than was ever anticipated....
