<p>- Bulldozed Film & Video Festival -
Resisting the Globalization of Displacement</p>




<p>Media Alliance, Global Exchange, and the Video Activist Network invite you to submit your video and/or film to the Bulldozed Film & Video Festival to be held in San Francisco, CA on March 29th and 30th, 2001 at Cell Space and Artists Television Access. The festival is a unique opportunity to present your work to the general public, other independent media producers, and community organizers fighting to save vital working class neighborhoods.</p>


<p>PURPOSE
The purpose of the Bulldozed Film & Video Festival is to showcase progressive film and video works that deal with Gentrification, Evictions, the Housing Crisis, Homelessness, Dot Coms' and New Economy's effect on working class and poor people, and of course on Community Organizing to solve these problems.</p>


<p>CRITERIA
We are looking for works that use film & video as tools for communication to inform about a current or on-going struggle, to raise questions about what's being done, or to call for actions to help a cause. Documentary and Fictional works of any length are welcome. The emphasis of this festival is on content, not style, but artistic merit will also be considered. Although there will be an emphasis on the San Francisco Bay Area's crisis,we are looking for recent, well-produced programs from all over the world.</p>


<p>SUBMISSION
Please enter your work!</p>


<p>To be considered for the Festival, please submit a 1/2" VHS copy (NTSC only) of the film or video work postmarked by February 9th, 2001. International submissions, please contact us first.</p>

<p>There is a $10 registration fee for each submission. All money received
from registration will be used to cover costs involved with organizing the Festival. All money from the festival screening will be donated, after costs, to the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition (MAC), a grassroots, community organizing group in San Francisco's Mission District.</p>

<p>VHS copies cannot be returned. Please include a short description of you
work and full name and address.</p>
