DESCRIPTION:A documentary about the Occupy movement in New York city.\n\nSaturday, 
 February 27, 2016, 3:00 pm, $5\n\nAll Day All Week: An Occupy Wall Street 
 Story\nA documentary by Marisa Holmes.\n\nIt is 2011.  Three years into the 
 global financial crisis, there is a growing sense that political and 
 economic elites sold out the people.  In response, a wave of revolutions 
 spreads from North Africa to Europe, and even the United States.   In New 
 York City a small group of activists meet in the NYC General Assembly to 
 discuss the possibility of #OccupyWallStreet.  On September 17th they go to 
 the financial district and occupy Zuccotti Park. They rename it Liberty 
 Square.   The square is a liberated space. Assemblies are held to make 
 collective decisions, working groups are formed to meet basic needs such as 
 food and shelter. A new world is being built and anything seems possible.  
 In a matter of weeks there are over one thousand occupations formed across 
 the globe. The activists soon find themselves in the center of a growing 
 movement. They face many external challenges including the media, the 
 unions, political parties, and police violence. However, it is the internal 
 challenges that they cannot overcome.   The non-fiction feature film, All 
 Day All Week: An Occupy Wall Street Story, tells the story of OWS from the 
 perspective of those who lived it. Filmed by and in conversation with 
 participants, the film offers a glimpse inside the daily life of occupation 
 as well as reflections on the experience.\n\nMarisa Holmes (in person) is a 
 documentary filmmaker and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. Since a young age 
 she has used media for social justice.  She holds a BFA in Film, Video and 
 New Media from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she 
 received a 100 Projects for Peace grant from the Kathryn Wasserman Davis 
 foundation. She also has a MFA in Integrated Media from Hunter 
 College.\n\nHolmes  has covered social movements in the US and 
 internationally with particular interest in the aftermath of the 2011 
 uprisings. Her work has appeared in such outlets as the International 
 Times, Truthout.org,  Waging Nonviolence,  Al Jazeera, and PBS, as well as 
 the AK Press compilation We are Many: Reflections on Movement Strategy from 
 Occupation to Liberation.   As a participant and media maker Holmes 
 believes strongly that people must tell their own stories. Thus, she 
 decided to make a film about her own experience in Occupy Wall Street.  All 
 Da y All Week: An Occupy Wall Street Story is her first feature film.\n
