BRISTOL INDYMEDIA FILMS
Mon 24th / 7:30pm / £3 waged, £2 unwaged ( no one turned away through lack of fundage )

An ongoing showcase of contemporary film makers who are finding new forms of cinema to show resistance to globalisation throughout the world.

Tonight's line up includes a talk & presentaion from the Bristol based Basque support network www.euskalinfo.org.uk They'll be showing some short films, discussing the recent crackdowns on the Basque Separatist Movement, the protests that have arisen from this situation, and the fallout from the recent Madrid bombings. Also screening will be a selection of inspiring INDYMEDIA shorts.
The main feature will be the first Bristol screening of SEEING IS BELIEVING: HANDICAMS, HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE NEWS. Made by Peter Wintonick (Manufacturing Consent : Noam Chomsky and the media ) this powerful award winning film explores the political and social consequences of handicams and new communications technologies being used by human rights activists, war crimes investigators, rightwing hate groups and ordinary citizens. Along the way, several key questions are raised, including: Does the presence of a video camera help save lives or rather increase the danger to those being threatened? What will be the impact of this proliferation of personal video cameras? How will it affect privacy? SEEING IS BELIEVING raises many questions; it may be for us to answer them.
