DESCRIPTION:Panel with Connie Field and Peter Gessner\nThe movements during 1968 also 
 brought new filmmakers into action and these panelists will recount the 
 filmmakers of the time. How they were organized, how they produced their 
 work and what they were able to accomplish in showing the struggles and 
 battles of the period. The importance of understanding this history of 
 independent filmmaking is especially important today with the development 
 of the Internet and the potential to broadcast these works around the 
 world. The forum will also look at how a mass movement today will propel 
 independent film and videographers.\n\nThe forum will also screen "Finally 
 Got The News," a film by Stewart Bird, Rene Lichtman and Peter Gessner, 
 about the Dodge Revolutionary Workers Movement in Detroit and Peter Gessner 
 will discuss this work. This is a forceful, unique documentary that reveals 
 the activities of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers inside and 
 outside the auto factories of Detroit.\nhttp://www.newsreel.us \nSee
