The ambition of elites to "manage the infodemic" amounts to the establishment of a scientific priesthood that wants full control of what we are told to ensure we only come to approved conclusions, says Dr David McGrogan.

China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Videoactive: 7pm - The Miami Model/We Interrupt This Empire

category dublin | arts and media | event notice author Friday October 22, 2004 16:29author by k Report this post to the editors

Opening night.

The Videoactive Documentary Festival is being co-hosted by the Cultivate Sustainable Living Centre and Indymedia Ireland. The festival will showcase a series of feature length politically commited documentaries from around the planet, the majority of which have not been screened in Ireland previously. Each feature will be accompanied by a selection of recently produced documentary shorts. These will include a number of vivid street level accounts (recently completed by members of the Indymedia Ireland collective) of the Bush Visit to Shannon and the controversial Mayday protests which took place during Ireland's recent Presidency of the EU. The Videoactive event is a not for profit event. Admission will be five euro for each screening. Season tickets allowing entry to all seven screenings will be available for twenty euro. All funds raised will go towards the purchase of digital video projectors for the Cultivate and Indymedia collectives. The organisers hope to develop this event into a yearly survey of politically engaged filmmaking from around the Globe.

Friday 7pm Screening
The Miami Model (90 mins)
"Amongst the shocking images in the video, the police assault on Elizabeth Ritter, a Miami lawyer, stands out. Dressed in a business suit, wearing high heels, carrying a sign that reads “Fear Another Totalitarian Administration”, she was pelted by rubber bullets and suffered an injury to the head. The soon to be released DVD of The Miami Model will include a post-riot interview with Ritter where she puts what happened to her in a larger context. Those who participated in the activities against the FTAA in Miami will forever be affected by the experience. The extremity of police repression and the range and sophistication of their tactics left scars on us all. The terror created in Miami was painfully obvious with rumors we heard from city residents that “The Anarchists” had collected billiard balls to throw at the police or that they were going to inject feces into civilians. The corporate media was at the helm of the propaganda machine as they pumped the climate of fear into downtown Miami. The marriage between the media and government isn’t a mere conspiracy, either: several reporters, officially “embedded,” in an arrangement similar to that which emerged during the invasion of Iraq, are interviewed in The Miami Model and freely discuss their hand-in-glove relationship with the police.


We Interrupt This Empire (68 mins)
We Interrupt ... covers a huge amount of ground, from corporate war profiteering to post-9/11 ethnic profiling, from the sugarcoating of the war on TV to police brutality (and, at times, police impotence). But the film's power ultimately comes from the footage, shot by approximately twenty contributors, of the massive shutdown of San Francisco. "A friend of mine just got back from England," Sousa says, "and he showed it to hundreds of people over there, and they were really excited to see that people were actively resisting the war here. Because, sometimes, that's hard to communicate across countries. It's nice for them to see that there's resistance happening in the US, because I think there's this perception, especially in Europe, that we're not doing as much as other places."

I had seen the Miami Model before it was well worth watching again, there was some good background history of the area the FTAA was held which maybe you don't always get, as these doc's go it was farely hopeful one, the story of the Miami "model" was good but I would have like to seem it jump between what was going on at the summit and back to outside a bit more...

I would have also liked to have liked if what exactly the Miami Model was nailed down abit more...

"The Miami Model" was the phrase used by the mayor to describe the way the city was shut down during the FTAA - and how emergency laws enacted (a gathering of more than 7 people is illegal without a police permit) supposedly stopped more violence. For the film makers it also encompassed the media and police strategies as well as political moves.
