The Story of Cap & Trade

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:41 GMT

The Story of Cap & Trade is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed at Copenhagen and on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and distraction from what's really required to tackle the climate crisis. If you've heard about Cap & Trade, but aren't sure how it works (or who benefits), this is the film is for you.

Starsuckers trailer

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:14 GMT

looks like an interesting film. Chris Atkins is releasing his new film-Starsuckers on the 30th October. he said 'It has just received a massive amount of coverage in the Guardian this week over our selling of fake stories to the Tabloid press, and secretly filming journalists attempting to break the law. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/oct/15/starsuckers-celebrity-cosmetic-surgery-hoax It's made by the same team behind the BAFTA nominated Taking Liberties, and is an entertaining but shocking expose of the celebrity obsessed media. We have been given some great cinema bookings by City Screen and Curzon, but as usual we are fighting against the infinite P&A; budgets of the studios for audiences. This also not helped by the fact that most of the press would be happy if we were all hit by a bus having just revealed their dodgy dealings to the world. Please come down and be a starsucker on the opening weekend (30th October) - there are several Q&A;'s with me (the director) and other members of the team. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/video/2009/oct/14/starsuckers-the-sun-amy-winehouse Trailer and cinema listings here: www.starsuckersmovie.com

Polaris is the only brighter star that is not moving! Polaris remains (almost) on its position during the apparent rotation of the sky since earth's axis points to Polaris. All other stars rotate around Polaris! Therefore the name of Polaris which remains always on the same place in the north! http://www.theskyinmotion.com/

Star Wars The Environmentalists Version

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:58 GMT

I dont know if you know this, but the original draft of the movie star wars was not written by Lucas, the original draft was written by environmentalists. And its a little bit different

Those were the first words I ever heard Derrick Jensen speak, and my world view has never been the same since. The year was 2006 and I had just moved to New York City to work for Democracy Now!. I was taping the Community Solutions conference, a peak oil convention held at Cooper Union. Unlike the other speakers, Derrick did not talk about about solar panels or wind turbines. He spoke of our cultures systematic destruction of the planet and of the failure of the environmental movement. After hearing his talk, I immediately sought out his books and the first seeds of END:CIV were planted.

The Star Wars piece is one of Derricks best analogies, one that delivers a precise critique of mainstream environmental groups.

Keith Mann - interview

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:15 GMT

The ALF - Animal Liberation Front - is a movement of people aiming to liberate animals. Its activists are very often called 'extremists' and 'terrorists' although no harm to any living being has ever been caused by them. Here, former ALF activist Keith Mann talks openly about how 'a higher moral law' led him to take action against laws defending useless cruelty, animal abuse and human ignorance - all of which very often are done in the name of progress, science, fashion, entertainment and diet. Using animals is an integral part of the system we live in - but does it mean that it is right ?... and that we can't change it?

What does it mean to be a revolutionary today?

The Big Brother State

http://www.bigbrotherstate.com - Watch the Movie in better Quality. The Big Brother State is an educational film about what politicians claim to be protection of our freedom but what we refer to as repressive legislation. Since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11, governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which, so the governments say, should increase national security. These laws obviously aim at another goal: the states gaining more and more control of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Free Hugs Campaign

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:02 GMT

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal. As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring. In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person How it all started: I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown. Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me. So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides. And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling. Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time. Why Did it get banned? Public liability fear and red tape. But its all okay now! Make sure tocheck your local laws before embarking on your Hugathon! Special Thanks I would just like to thank Sick Puppies for their incredible song "All the Same " which the free hugs campaign video would have never been the same without.

The Yes Men Fix the World - Excerpts

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:35 GMT

At conference after conference, the Yes Men try to wake up their corporate audiences to this frightening prospect, in the process taking on some of the world's biggest and baddest corporations. Just one example: as Exxon, Andy and Mike demonstrate a new biofuel made from climate-change victims. It's a gut-busting laugh riot - one of several in the film - to see the unsuspecting audience learn that the lit candles they hold are made out of dead people. On their journey, the Yes Men act as gonzo journalists, delving deep into the question of why we have given the market more power than any other institution to determine our direction as a society. They visit the twisted (and accidentally hilarious) underworld of the free-market think tanks, where they figure out a way to defeat the logic that's destroying our planet. And as they appear on the BBC before 300 million viewers, or before 1000 New Orleans contractors alongside Mayor Ray Nagin, the layers of lies are peeled back to reveal the raw heart of truth - a truth that brings with it hope. Hope explodes at the end of this film with a power that may take audiences straight out of the theater and into the barricades. A word of warning to theater owners: make sure your seats are securely screwed down. Bonus: this film has one of the very few underwater ballet scenes you will ever see in a political documentary.

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:28 GMT

dir. Andy Bichlbaum, Mike Bonanno, Kurt Engfehr, 2009) is a screwball true story that follows a couple of gonzo political activists as they infiltrate the world of big business and pull off outrageous pranks that highlight the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet. Along the way the duo discover the culprits behind the cult of greed, and in a wildly uplifting ending, they find a way for everyone to defeat the cult and save civilization from its own worst excesses. Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are two guys who just can't take "no" for an answer. They have an unusual hobby: posing as top executives of corporations they hate. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits, they lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate nemeses in ever more extreme ways - basically doing everything that they can to wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world.

Battle in Seattle - trailer

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 03:45 GMT

it's November 1999, and five days are about to rock the world as tens of thousands of demonstrators take to the streets of Seattle in protest of the World Trade Organization's Ministerial Meeting. Among them are Django (Andre Benjamin), Sam (Jennifer Carpenter), Lou (Michelle Rodriguez) and Jay (Martin Henderson). Each has a unique story, but they're united in a common desire to be heard and to make a difference in the world. For these four protesters, this is very personal and the stakes are higher than mere politics. A peaceful demonstration to stop the WTO talks quickly escalates into a full-scale riot, and soon a State of Emergency is declared by the Mayor of Seattle. The streets are mayhem, and the WTO is paralyzed. Caught in the crossfire of civil liberties and keeping the peace are Seattle residents, including its beleaguered mayor (Ray Liotta), a riot cop on the streets (Woody Harrelson) and his pregnant wife (Charlize Theron). The choices they all make will change their lives forever. Writer/Director Stuart Townsend brings together this talented ensemble to intertwine different points of view – from protesters and police to delegates and doctors -- each of whom intentionally or accidentally find themselves on the streets of Seattle in those last days of the millennium. Townsend seamlessly merges footage of the real event with his fictional narrative. Ultimately, Battle in Seattle illustrates that even against incredible odds, ordinary people can change the world.

visionOntv is a Creative Commons based project

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:46 GMT

Creative Commons is in the midst of its 2008 fundraising campaign. Find out how you can support Creative Commons at our support site. To celebrate the campaign, Creative Commons has released “A Shared Culture,” a short video by renowned filmmaker Jesse Dylan. Known for helming a variety of films, music videos, and the Emmy Award-winning “Yes We Can” Barack Obama campaign video collaboration with rapper will.i.am, Dylan created “A Shared Culture” to help spread the word about the Creative Commons mission. In the video, some of the leading thinkers behind Creative Commons describe how the organization is helping “save the world from failed sharing” through free tools that enable creators to easily make their work available to the public for legal sharing and remix. Dylan puts the Creative Commons system into action by punctuating the interview footage with dozens of photos that have been offered to the public for use under CC licenses. Similarly, he used two CC-licensed instrumental pieces by Nine Inch Nails as the video's soundtrack music. These tracks, “17 Ghosts II” and “21 Ghosts III,” come from the Nine Inch Nails album Ghosts I-IV, which was released earlier this year under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license.

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:15 GMT

The Pool is the story of Venkatesh, a "room boy" working at a hotel in Panjim, Goa, who sees from his perch in a mango tree a luxuriant garden and shimmering pool hidden behind a wall. In making whatever efforts he can to better himself, Venkatesh offers his services to the wealthy owner of the home. Not content to simply dream about a different life, Venkatesh is inquisitive about the home's inhabitants-indeed about the world around him-and his curiosity changes the shape of his future.

Steal This Film II

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:41 GMT

This is the followup film to 2006's groundbreaking Steal This Film I.

"These are strange times indeed. While they continue to command so much attention in the mainstream media, the 'battles' between old and new modes of distribution, between the pirate and the institution of copyright, seem to many of us already lost and won. We know who the victors are. Why then say any more?

Because waves of repression continue to come: lawsuits are still levied against innocent people; arrests are still made on flimsy pretexts, in order to terrify and confuse; harsh laws are still enacted against filesharing, taking their place in the gradual erosion of our privacy and the bolstering of the surveillance state. All of this is intended to destroy or delay inexorable changes in what it means to create and exchange our creations. If STEAL THIS FILM II proves at all useful in bringing new people into the leagues of those now prepared to think 'after intellectual property', think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity, we have achieved our main goal."

Oxford Radical Forum

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:35 GMT

We view re-energising popular discussion and action on the left a necessity. To this end we have organised a weekend-long forum in the hope that we can facilitate just that. Our belief in the need for an event in Oxford bringing together progressive politics stems both from a conviction in the continued and critical relevancy of Marxist and leftist ideas and theory and from the sad demise of focused or organised progressive political organisation within the university and the region at large, despite the very many who would under more favourable circumstances participate in such interventions. Therefore we are hosting a forum which will begin to address these issues and draw in individuals from the two universities in Oxford, the city and beyond to consider critically ideas about social progress and transformation. To this end we are inviting a range of authoritative and engaging speakers to talk about issues such as feminism, Marxism and history, Palestine and other international conflicts, theory and criticism and radical politics as well as debates on the continued validity of Marxism and other hotly contested matters. This will also run in conjunction with various workshops and stalls, the latter ran by political organisations or interested parties. We have also had artists come forward who wish to install their work in the space, adding what will be another dynamic element to the weekend.
