[Imc-birmingham] Hosting an imcista from Oaxaca

[dougbrum at tiscali.co.uk]

Hey

A really good source for films is the Christie Books (run by Stuart 
Christie ex Angry Brigade member)  section on Brightcove. Has loads of 
films for free mostly with an Anarchist/Spanish bent there bare some 
really good little bits (check out the B&W popeye cartoon where he 
militantly deals with the fash):

I can't help out with beats not bombs as I'm busy most of the weekend. 
I will be town on Saturday afternoon (TUC mayday celebration/12 men in 
a room) so if you need some DVD's I could pop them down. I've got the :

John Pilger box set -12 documentaries
Anarchism in America (featuring footage of Murry Bookchin and Paul 
Avrich) also has a cool documentary on Yewish Anarchists
The day the country died-history of Anarcho punk in the UK which has 
just come out.
The Corporation

Could I also make a comment on the films being shown. They all seem to 
be on very heavy topics. Could we chop and change a few, mix it up with 
films that are bit more positive (if there are any).

See you at CM
