Art/Conflict: 2 X Zones is a feature length documentary shot on DV in 2004/2005 in Ireland and The Basque Country. The documentary is based on a multiplicity of interviews conducted over a year long period in Ireland and the Basque country. It takes a look back at these localised conflicts from the perspective of a post September 11th World and explores how fine artists in The Basque Country and Ireland from the late 1960's onwards understood their roles in the midst of situations of ongoing civil conflict. It relates the insights garnered by artists in the midst of two localised conflicts in the late 20th century to the present where terrorism, civil conflict and 'cool war' have along with the market been globalised. The documentary exemplifies the possibilities for low-budget cross cultural documentary filmmaking in an era of cheap and ubuiquotous digital filmaking hardware. Interviewees include Patrick Ireland, Txomin Badiola, Willie Doherty, Shane Cullen and Amanda Dunsmore.

Directed and Shot by Aisling Crudden. Edited by Eamonn Crudden. Offline edit by Arnaud Rigaud.

Today, Wednesday 12th July, Israel has again invaded Southern Lebanon from which it withdrew only 6 years ago, having brought about the futile slaughter of some 18,000 - 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. This new invasion is "in response" to the capture by Hizbullah guerrillas of two Israeli soldiers. Today also Israel butchered a further two dozen civilians in Gaza, including an entire family of 9 adults and children. read full story / add a comment

Israeli armed forces crossed the border into their northern neighbour Lebanon in the last 36 hours.
This illegal incursion follows entry of IDF forces into the occupied Palestinian territories of the last week.

Hezbollah in a press conference has called for "discussions", warned of "surprises" if the "enemy attacks" and wants "prisoner exchange" and hinted at "linking this crises to the plight of their Palestinian brothers". The leader of Hezbollah also rejected Israeli blusters that the IDF would return the country of which they now form a democratically elected government of "returning Beirut to 20 years ago".

The rest of the "Hariri's Game" series which covers Lebanese politic development since the asassination of Hariri on Saint Valentine's Day 2005.

This 25 minute long film was produced very quickly in the immediate aftermath of the riots in Dublin in Febuary 2006 and was only ever to date screened at the anarchist bookfair which took place within a short time of the events depicted.

It was basically made by combining a text opinion piece/story about the events with footage uploaded to indymedia ireland in the very immediate aftermath of the riot. I (aaronrip) took the two, voiced one (chekov's text) and cut up the other (kev footage) and within a day or so had an acceptable film.

Hope others will try this method of instant filmaking about events in the near future. The generally copyleft nature of material uploaded to Indymedia makes this possible and easy. If you can't/don't want to write 'voiceovers' then steal/channel them.

Black & Tans were "no angels" - major concession by Ken Loach critic

BY CHRISTOPHER BARRETT An Phoblacht July 6 2006

Before it went on release, 'critics' who had not seen it, denounced Ken Loach's The Wind that Shakes the Barley. The London Times critic compared it to Nazi propaganda - ironic considering the role of ex-Black & Tans in reactionary and fascist politics in Britain. In the Daily Mail Ruth Dudley Edwards asked: "Why does Ken Loach loath his country so much?" - a question better addressed by Ruth to a mirror. Ruth also, in the manner of death penalty advocates discussing 'humane' methods of killing, informed us that the British Empire was "the most humane"...... ever, so there. read full story / add a comment
