We Interrupt This Empire ...

This night will feature a nice line up of related short works curated by Craig Baldwin, possibly a pinata smashing and the 2cd half will be devoted to We Interrupt This Empire ... http://www.videoactivism.org/empire.html http://www.othercinema.com "We Interrupt This Empire..." is a collaborative work by many of the Bay Area's independent video activists which documents the direct actions that shut down the financial district of San Francisco in the weeks following the United States' invasion of Iraq. With the audio backdrop including the live broadcasts of Enemy Combatant Radio from the SF Independent Media Center to SFPD's tactical communications that were picked up by police scanners, the documentary takes a look at the diverse show of resistance from the streets of San Francisco as well as providing a critique of the coporate media coverage of the war and exploring such issues as the Military Industrial Complex, attacks on civil liberties, and the United States' current imperialist drive.   Show starts at 8:30 pm / $5.00 Other Cinema at the ATA 992 Valencia, at 21st street (one block north of Mission near the BART stop at 24th and Mission)
