Hi D,

Those films sound really interesting, we should definitely include some 
of them in the fortnightly screenings. I know it's short notice, but 
would you be up for suggesting some or even helping out with the drop 
beats screening this sat and sunday?
We showed one of that academic guy's films at the mac once, can't 
remember the title :( It would be good to show his latest one though.

Here's an email proposing some of the fortnightly film screenings at the 
Custard Factory which are starting after the Indymedia Oaxaca tour 
(wednesday May 16th @ Rooty Frootys). The Custard Factory screenings 
start fortnightly on Tuesdays from 22nd May.

The theme is the terror war:

I would like to propose we start off with a film about the global 
indymedia network - 'i' the film: 
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/10/353120.html

tbh i'm not that keen on having two separate screenings on 911 and 7/7. 
I haven't seen "ludicrous diversions" either, so i'm not entirely sure 
if we should show it. has anyone else seen it?

We've also got the Oaxaca indymedia tour screening on wed 16 may and a 
screening of the MOVE with Romana Africa on June 30th at the Drum.
