[IMC-Boston-Editorial] "i" the film screening with Boston IMC?

[Amy L. Dalton]

Hi Sofia! Well we have a few options as things are pretty close together 
in the NE area. The best time for us would be early September -- the 
tour launches on Aug 31 in Providence, and the 2nd or 3rd could work for 
Boston.

Would this work? If not I can propose several alternatives.

We'd love to arrange adjunct stops too, like at universities or 
community organizations.

I'll paste the press release for the screening the NYC-imc hosted below, 
FYI.

Best,
Amy

Radical Media Organizations, Radical Media Makers, Radical Documentaries:
7:00pm July 20th @ Blue Stockings

New York City and National Premiere of “i” a feature-length documentary 
produced by Raphael Lyon and Andres Ingoglia of Indymedia Argentina. The 
film will also be screened with The Indypendent, a short film by Amy 
Wolf about New York City’s premiere radical newspaper. Reception and 
discussion with the filmmakers will follow at Blue Stockings in this 
special pre-tour engagement. Thursday, July 20th @ 7PM, $5 Suggested 
Donation.

“i” is a meditation on the relationship between media and power as it is 
manifested by the worlds largest all volunteer network of media 
activists — Indymedia. The is 83-minute documentary follows the first 
year of a small collective in Buenos Aires as it struggles amidst 
assassinations, a collapsing economy, and a whirlwind of political upheaval.

According to Naomi Klein, “i" “positively vibrates with the energy and 
creativity of the movement it documents. Beautiful, intellectual, 
riotous, it fits in no box (and no blurb)—just see it!”

Produced and directed by independent filmmakers Raphael Lyon and Andres 
Ingoglia, “i” builds on a documentary short they made about Argentina 
called Eye of the Storm. “i” focuses in on the particular role that role 
that grassroots media production played during this time of crisis and 
upheaval. The film’s structure and production are also an embodiment of 
this media model: Footage was shot with mostly consumer equipment, 
includes clips from many grassroots reports including several produced 
out of the NYC Independent Media Center, and much of the editing work 
took place at the NYC-IMC.

Lyon and Ingoglia will attend this special pre-tour engagement, and they 
extend a special invitation to independent media makers and activists to 
stay afterward for a discussion of the film and its distribution 
strategy. A screening tour, to launch this fall and extend into the 
spring, will engage students, community activists, and independent 
media-makers in conversation about the role of local identity, 
communication, and network-building in today’s social movements.
