 documentaries Ninja Monkeys Go To Pittsburgh: The Pittsburgh G-20 
In September 2009, I went with Indymedia to report on the protests surrounding the G-20 Summit, taking place in Pittsburgh, PA. This personal video looks at police treatment of protesters and the media, including the introduction of the LRAD, the Long Range Acoustic Device or "sonic cannon", as a crowd control tool on the streets of America. The film finishes with a song from a performance at the Tilsner Artists' Cooperative on 9th October, during the Fall 2009 Saint Paul Art Crawl, two weeks after I returned from PA.  Democracy 101: The Pittsburgh G-20 
Made in Pittsburgh within five days of the G20 summit by a team from Pittsburgh Indymedia, Twin Cities Indymedia, Glassbead Collective, and Mobile Broadcast News, a new documentary: "Democracy 101 (Rough Cut)". Democracy 101 is a look at the policing and pattern of issues that arise during National Special Security Events. Made with footage from the recent repression of dissent in Pittsburgh, salvaged from the broken cameras, stolen video and arrested reporters, and independent journalists from around the country. Iran, a nation of bloggers 
Four international students at Vancouver Film School, Aaron Chiesa, Hendy Sukarya, Lisa Temes and Toru Kageyama created a thought-provoking short film entitled “Iran: a nation of bloggers” for their final term 3 project. Blogging in Iran operates under special circumstances because the government restricts certain views. Blogs in general tend to be unregulated compared to other forms of expression in Iranian society. This characteristic can account for the huge popularity of blogs especially among Iranian youths. As of October 2005, there are estimated to be about 700,000 Iranian blogs. Terrorizing Dissent: The 2008 Republican National Convention 
On Tuesday, October 28, Glass Bead Collective, Twin Cities Indymedia, and other independent media activists released a new film, "Terrorizing Dissent: Election Cut," an expose of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, "Terrorizing Dissent" focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism. Ground Noise and Static: The 2008 RNC and DNC 
A video report on the protests that occurred in connection with the Democrat and Republican National Conventions, Ground Noise & Static is a manifesto. We went to Denver and St. Paul to take the pulse of the movement. Corporate media would cover the platitudes and posturing of the politicians, we were interested in something else, a story hidden in plain sight, captured in the now-classic street chant, “This is what democracy looks like.” Black Panther Party 101 
A collection of two documentary films about the Black Panther Party, active during the 1960's and 1970's on behalf of African American rights in the United States: "The Murder of Fred Hampton" (Dir. Howard Alk, 1971) and "Huey" A.K.A. "Black Panthers" (Dir. Agnès Varda, 1968). |
