DESCRIPTION:The American Indian Resource Center of UCSC and the Watsonville Brown 
 Berets presents:\n\nSimón Sedillo is a community rights defense organizer 
 and film maker. He has spent the last 8 years documenting, producing and 
 teaching community based video documentation in Mexico and the US. Through 
 lectures, workshops, and short films, Sedillo breaks down the effects of 
 neoliberalism, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and militarism on 
 indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and communities of color in 
 the US and Mexico. Through collaborative media projects, Sedillo’s work 
 has contributed to a growing network of communities whose primary objective 
 is to share, teach, and learn from one another, about community based media 
 production and the collective construction of horizontal networks of 
 community rights defense. Sedillo is also an active member of the campaign 
 to close the U.S. Army School of the America’s, at Fort Benning, in 
 Columbus, GA. You can find him at the gates of the U.S. Army base every 
 November along with the folks from The School of the America’s Watch at 
 www.soaw.org.\n\nContra el Silencio”\n\n(26 Minutes) 2011 Playa Vicente, 
 Veracruz, Mexico\nThe 10 year old son of community organizers and musicians 
 in Playa Vicente, Veracruz, Elias Barradas , walks us through the 8th 
 annual “Festival del Tesechoacan” as the fictional character “Sub – 
 Lieutenant Coco”. While Barradas remains in character as Sub-Lieutenant 
 Coco throughout the film, he takes us through different spaces and 
 activities for organizing this tremendous traditional music festival. Elias 
 reminds us in the film that culture, music, and media in the hands of 
 communities are important elements of the resistance against the loss of 
 identity and community roots. The DVD packet includes the film “Contra el 
 Silencio”, several music videos from the festival, and an mp3 CD with all 
 of the music from the festival professionally recorded, mixed and 
 mastered.\n\nOaxaca en Resistencia\n\n(30 minutes) 2011 Los Angeles Pueblo 
 Nuevo, Oaxaca, Mexico\nSince the 2006 Oaxacan Peoples’ Popular Assembly 
 (APPO) uprising, the face and body of Oaxaca’s popular social movement 
 has changed into many different projects, collectives, community 
 organizations, strategies and struggles. Manovuelta’s films look at the 
 movement from a different perspective and have been instrumental in 
 identifying different personalities within the social movement who do not 
 necessarily fit into the boxes assigned by foreign activists, journalists, 
 academics, and intellectuals; from an entire family who participated as 
 musicians at the barricades in the film “La Familia Raíces”, to a hip 
 hop heroine and several young men who gain life-changing political 
 formation defending their city in “Xip Xop Oaxaca”, and to the 
 different projects from the traditional Son Jarocho music movement in 
 Veracruz, Mexico. “Oaxaca en Resistencia” brings several Oaxacan and 
 Veracruzan artists together with Xip Xop artists, barricaders from the 
 neighborhood the film is set in, and chicanos and chicanas from all over 
 the US to take one more collective look at the face of Oaxaca’s 
 resistance.\n\nFor more info
