DESCRIPTION:Scratch Video – Revolution Remixed:   A post-modern call to battle, for 
 our planet, for our communities, for our freedom  Join us for a screening 
 of three radical remixes of popular Hollywood movies by local film makers.  
 These brief, yet high impact culture jams address globalization, 9-11, war 
 on terrorism, the industrial military complex, racism, consumer culture, 
 business as usual, our disconnection with nature in favor of technology, 
 and more. After the film, there will be a conversation between the film 
 makers and the audience on the films, scratch video, and local action in 
 Oakland.    The Red Pill (25 minutes)  THe reD PILL Is a scraTcH vIDeo, a

 Ring of Free Trade (6 minutes)  Now, for the first time ever, the hidden 
 prophecies of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic epic, The Lord of the Rings, are 
 decoded in this accurate re-edit of Peter Jackson's blockbuster motion 
 picture. Unknownst to many readers, The Lord of the Rings - once thought to 
 be merely a story of archetypal struggle between good and evil - has been 
 found to contain astute prophetic messages about the impending crisis of 
 capitalist modernity. The Fellowship of the Ring of Free Trade includes 
 subtitles of the decoded dialogues in painstaking detail and the true 
 identities that the story's characters represent within the prophecy.   The 
 Twin Towers (15 minutes)  This sequel to The Fellowship of the Ring of Free 
 Trade explores post-911 issues within Mordor (aka United States).
