Argentina Indymedia Filmscreening
  
  WHEN: Saturday, September 2nd, 4:00 pm 
  WHERE: Democracy Center, 45 Mt. Auburn Street, Harvard Square
  
  Argentina Indymedia presents “i” a feature-length documentary produced  by Raphael Lyon and Andres Ingoglia of Indymedia Argentina. “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 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. We are interested in engaging students, community activists,  and independent media-makers in conversation about the role of local  identity, communication, and network-building in today’s social  movements.
