news report
 Wednesday February 12, 2003 15:31 by John Cunningham - Galway Alliance Against War johnliamsheain at eircom dot net c/o 33, Claremont, Galway
 Bring a camera! A number of Galway-based independent film-makers are attempting to organise the production of a visual record which will capture the essence of the 15 February Dublin demonstration. Obviously, a few individuals willl not be able to achieve this by themselves. Instead, it is envisaged that the meaning of the march will be captured and interpreted by the thousands participating. The result should be an authentically democratic record of the day, created by hundreds, if not thousands of people. We are asking you to bring a camera —an ordinary stills camera, a video camera, a video phone, a movie camera or whatever— and to record anything you consider moving, poignant, or interesting in any way. Ideally, the record should start before you leave your own town on Saturday morning. After 15 February, photographs, videos, or other images can be sent to GAAW, c/o 33 Claremont, Galway or to johnliamsheain@eircom.net. Don’t leave it to the O'Reilly media to tell the story of F15. Let us tell our own story. Any film resulting from this project will be used to build support for the anti-war movement. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6If you want to have a meeting point for those involved Indymedia Ireland should be meeting in the Ha'penny Inn at 12 on Saturday.
This is an interesting project. However, to be a truly democratic record of the day, all the people involved in recording the event (and, ideally, all the people participating in it) should also be involved with the final editing.
I suppose that this principle also applies to broader organizational issues...
but dont ever try and capture "the spirit"
would you know what to make with it?
Re Pierpaolo's 1st point: I don't know how all participants in a demo can be involved in an editing process, but I do know that the film-makers concerned —I am not one of them, and I may not have done their concept justice— foresee involving in the editing process everybody who submits material.
Re Pierpaolo's 2nd point: touché

It definitely wouldn't be easy! Even Mejerhold didn't manage to do that.
