[IMC-Boston-Editorial] indymedia film night: Sept 2nd

[Sofia JarrinT]

hi there,
  
  I've reserved space to show the film below @ Encuentro 5 in Chinatown  on Sept. 2nd at 7:00 pm.  I'll be forwarding a couple of you the  Indymedia poster soon to see if there's any chance we could print a few  copies before the event...
  
  The space's free (because it's a Saturday). No alcohol can be served.
  
  See below a press release for the event (not sure if the producers are coming). What else do you think we can do for that day?

  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.
