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.
