[IMC-Video] CALL OUT: Searching for Australian protest footage for SBS documentary.

[Barry Saunders]

CALL OUT:  Searching for Australian protest footage for SBS documentary.

We are producing a 50 minute documentary on protest for SBS, presently
scheduled for screening in January. Its focus is protest and dissent in
Australia over the last ten years from an activist perspective. We are
looking specifically at the global justice movement and the dissatisfaction
with protest that came about after the perceived `failure' of the Iraq war
protests.  We realise how central video documentation was and is to the
movement and we are searching for those people who captured these events.
Specific protest meets we are hoping to cover are:


 Jabiluka 1999
S11 in Melbourne, 2000
Sorry March, Harbour Bridge, 2000
CHOGM, 2002
Woomera, 2002
WTO Mini-ministerial meeting, Sydney, 2002
Iraq War, weekend of February 15th, 2003
Any Reclaim the Streets actions
Any other protests of interest


We are particularly looking for footage from an activist perspective,
especially those acting as media on the ground. We are interested in media
representation of protests, interaction with police and the logistics and
rituals of protest.  We would like to compare and contrast mainstream media
and local media's representation of the events. All video formats are
acceptable, but we are particularly interested in viewing original tapes
rather than edited material. All footage used will be credited.

If anyone recorded free-to-air news broadcasts of these events we  are also
interested in hearing from you.

Happy to hear from anyone with material even if has remained locked away in
a cupboard for years! Hoping you can help us document Australia's global
justice movement!



Contact Barry Saunders on barry at d-notice.net <zero1 at gmail.com> or Sarah-Jane
Woulahan on msrouge at gmail.com   We're happy to discuss the project and are
also on the look out for those who may be interested in being interviewed
about their experiences.

Thank you and look forward to hearing from you!

Barry Saunders and Sarah-Jane Woulahan
