The Films

Thursday: LOUDER THAN BOMBS

Spreading Propaganda
Entartete Kunst
45 minutes

Entartete Kunst is an anarchist electro label from San Francisco that releases political electronic music that fuses low and high brow culture (think dark, slow hip-hop with Noam Chomsky samples) into a potent status-guo challenging mix. This film offers an intimate look at the artists on this label and their radical views of America through their eyes. Provactive and stimulating, this documentary features a gritty EK soundtrack.

Don't Need You
Kerri Koch
40 minutes
This much sought after documentary charts the origins of the 1990's Riot Grrrl movement through interviews with those involved. Riot Grrrls were unapologetic and in-your-face- activists who acted out against domination and refused to play by anyone's rules but their own. They created a global network that reclaimed music and zine culture and saved many a young woman in the early 1990's. Features interviews with Jen Smith from Bratmobile, Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill (now Le Tigre).

Well Done. Now Sod Off
1 hour 30 minutes
A potted and often hilarious history of Chumbawamba. Footage and interviews from the last two decades retrace their early days of communal living and involvement in the 1884-85 miner's strike to the survival of the Thatcher years and the media barrage of the 90's. The Chumbas emerge as a band of anarchist shoplifting pranksters, loved and loathed in equal measures but still an ongoing punk saga, a radical statement in a sea of conservative manufactured bands.

Storming Sarajevo
Desert Storm Soundsystem
30 minutes

It's 1994 and shortly after the Criminal Justice Bill became law in the UK, the Desert Storm free party collective decide to head for Bosnia. Aiming to bring humanitarian aid aswell as throwing free parties the collective survive vehicle problems, subzero temperatures and relentless snow to bring the noise and humanity back to Sarajevo.

 

Friday: RESISTANCE

Won't Get Fooled Again
Pilton Video
43 minutes

When the G8 leaders came to Scotland in July, seasoned activists and concerned indivivuals were ready for them. Prepared to take to the streets, and make their demands heard, they gave the eight leaders at Gleneagles the welcome they deserved! This arresting and compelling film interspersed with personalised video diaries and reportage from the young people, smashes the myth of apathy and lethargy in the younger generation, and presents a youth - orientated account of one of the most significant weeks in Scotlands current history. Against a background of escalating and menacing police presence - with a surreal quality enhanced by a Rebel Clown Army - it shows their mature and articulate views about; poverty, African debt, global warming, free trade, holy Bob Geldof and the supposed "Lennon and McCartney" of international debt relief - Brown and Blair!

Weapons of Mass Deception
Danny Schechter

An analysis of the media's biased coverage of the Iraq war and the deception committed by the media with its armies of journalists and propaganda techniques.
