3rd Annual NYC Anarchist Film Festival

Apparently their screening something of mine it's on the poster.

The Third Annual NYC Anarchist Film Festival in Honor of our murdered comrade and colleague Brad Will takes place Friday April 10, 2009 in the lower east side. See attached flier for locations and event times.

As a prelude to the Third Annual NYC Anarchist Bookfair from April 11-12, The Third Annual NYC Anarchist Film Festival will showcase contemporary documentaries and videos on current events and social movements from Palestinian resistance in Gaza to the popular uprising and recent riots that swept Greece like wildfire.

Big Noise Films will screen a selection of short films from Iraq. Other filmmakers will present videos on environment, militant feminism, and movements for justice such as the ongoing struggle for human rights in Oaxaca Mexico. Videos will show courageous examples of resistance from India to Europe, to Latin America, to the U.S.A where dissent is being criminalized as terrorism. See videos that challenge the State’s unconstitutional "anti-terrorist" mandate from protests against the 2008 Republican National Convention. We also proudly present footage from the fight for free speech, in the lower east side's famous "Donut Riot" that ended with spontaneous combustion in Tompkins square park last summer. Carlos Castaneda wrote in "Tales of Power" that the "true art of a warrior is to balance terror and wonder." The NYC Anarchist Film Festival does not shy away from either the terror we are forced to confront in our world or from the wondrous inspiration that graces the human spirit...

A Message to my Subscribers ... and The NY Anarchist Film Festival

Partially due to the NEW dangers inherit in reporting 1st hand accounts of dissent and corruption, independently, in a fascist society and partially due to my perception of the rapidly changing world of online video... This site's going to be a lot different from here out. I am currently working on a new video show concept and hope to have a new site and show for your enjoyment in a month or 2. I wish it could be sooner but there are many details to work out. This is gonna be cool and you can play along at home. ;!)

Vlog~Flux will continue on with more frequent posting and fewer original videos. There are a ton of quality, truthful programs available to us on the internet these days but It seems that a Mentos & Coke mentality has taken over the minds of the general online video consumer. Vlog~Flux will be a place for cultural, documentary and news video that intend to inform you of your place in history and help you decide what you are comfortable doing to help shape the future by exposing you to evidence and stories that show the under belly of corporatism, nationalism, fundimentalism, rascism & capitalism. (other isms may also be addressed). Basically, expect a post every day or 2, very few will be my Original deProgramming and feel free to get excited about the new "Show" you'll be among the 1st to watch in a month or so.
~ Thanks for subscribing, Flux
