DESCRIPTION:\n\nWE INTERRUPT THIS EMPIRE... SCREENS JUNE 10TH AND JUNE 11TH AT THE RED 
 VIC MOVIE HOUSE\n\nWhat happens when a trigger-happy cowboy with a pocket 
 full of loot aims his guns on an oil-rich, people-poor nation?\n\nThe San 
 Francisco Video Activist Network presents the story you won't see on Fox 
 News: an eye-popping, jaw-dropping look at the Bay Area's radical 
 resistance to an illegal war. WE INTERRUPT THIS EMPIRE... screens Tuesday, 
 June 10th at 7:15 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. and Wednesday, June 11th at 2 p.m., 
 7:15 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. at the Red Vic Movie House in San Francisco. 
 Regular admission is $6.\n\nComposed of various segments, the first half of 
 WE INTERRUPT THIS EMPIRE... is a collaborative work from some of San 
 Francisco's independent videographers. Jino Choi and Jessica Lawrence 
 document the direct actions that shut down both the financial district of 
 San Francisco on the morning of March 20th and the corporate profiteers of 
 the Bay Area over the following weeks. The Whispered Media video collective 
 takes on how the pro-war protests received 'balanced' coverage and how such 
 coverage devolves into a flag-waving, pro-war culture blinded to the truths 
 and realities of war.  'The Logic of Empire,' by David Martinez and Iain 
 Boar, considers the war not as an out-of-control business venture fronted 
 by the petroleum industry, but as the first steps in a new, lethally 
 dangerous, imperialist project with Iraq as its first subject. 'War 
 American Style' by Natalija Vekic, Monica Nolan and Christian Bruno is a 
 sly critique of the corporate media's role as Pentagon stenographer, where 
 mainstream news media clips are re-assembled and examined for gross 
 inaccuracies, glaring omissions and corporate biases. In 'The War 
 Profiteers,' by Miles Montalbano, interviews and film clips shine a light 
 on the Military Industrial Complex as the film looks at corporations with 
 close ties to the Bush administration, and their ability to influence 
 policy and profit from war.  The second half of the program will be selects 
 from Shutdown Downtown Fogtown, a daring collection of on-the-scene videos 
 from the historic anti-war protests that shutdown San Francisco.\n\nThe Red 
 Vic Movie House is located at 1727 Haight Street in San Francisco. For more 
 information, contact Whispered Media at 415-552-7959 or

 the Video Activist Network (VAN) and Whispered Media. The VAN is an 
 informal association of activists and politically conscious artists using 
 video to support social, economic and environmental justice campaigns. 
 Whispered Media is a collective that offers video witnessing, support and 
 training, collects archival political footage, and produces video works 
 about specific grassroots campaigns and organizations.\n
