Indymedia Ireland/Convergence/Filmbase Present A Day of Film Screenings:
Last November a new radical documentary film festival was held in the Samuel Beckett Centre of Trinity College Dublin. This was co-organised by the Cultivate Centre and Indymedia Ireland. The festival showcased a series of feature length politically committed documentaries from around the planet. A complete programme of the screenings is available here. In November this year Indymedia, Cultivate and Film Base will host another 'Documentaries from the Edge' film festival. The three films being screened this Saturday are listed below. Admission to each film is only 5 euro: 10.00am - 12.00pm Outfoxed: Rupert Murdock's War on Journalism. "Outfoxed" examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know. The film explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it's like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a "right-wing" point of view or risk their jobs. Produced and directed by Robert Greenwald. (77 mins) Carolina Productions, 2004 http://www.outfoxed.org
12.30pm - 2.30pm The End of Suburbia: The End of Suburbia points out that the
rise of the suburbs was made possible by abundant and cheap oil. It allowed
for the creation of a system of habitation where millions of people can live
many miles away from where they work and where they shop for food and
necessities. And there is no other form of living that requires more energy
in order to function than suburbia. But the voracious and expanding energy
needs of our industrial society, our insane consumer culture, and the
affluent suburban lifestyles are brushing up against the disturbing reality
of finite energy resources. The End of Suburbia makes clear that the effects
of energy depletion go way beyond paying more at the pump. (78 Mins)
3.00pm - 5.00pm Weapons of Mass Deception There were two wars going on in
Iraq - one was fought with armies of soldiers, bombs and a fearsome military
force. The other was fought alongside it with cameras, satellites, armies of
journalists and propaganda techniques. One war was rationalized as an effort
to find and disarm WMDs - Weapons of Mass Destruction; the other was carried
out by even more powerful WMDs, Weapons of Mass Deception. The TV networks
in America considered their non-stop coverage their finest hour, pointing to
the use of embedded journalists and new technologies that permitted viewers
to see a war up close for the first time. WMD is a 100 minute non-fiction
film, explores this story with the findings of a gutsy, media
insider-turned-outsider, former network journalist, Danny Schechter, who is
one of America's most prolific media critics. Schechter says he
"self-embedded" himself in his living room to monitor media coverage, by
fastidiously tracking the TV coverage on a daily basis. (100 Mins)
Upstairs in Filmbase, Indymedia Ireland will be curating a day-long session of independent short films from across the world.
