Least Filtered News

The World Economic Forum is taking place in Davos. "Mainstream" news channels like CNN are being quite severe in how they cut it together - like going to an ad break when someone is criticising the Bush administration. As far as I can tell, the least filtered coverage from the halls is by Swiss national broadcaster SFDRS, in both German and original language (often English).Help light 3,000 virtual Candles online for Tsunami Candlelight Global Vigil

12-01-2005 16:13
The proposal was to set up “mini-cinemas” in official and autonomous spaces during the ESF, showing short, punchy activist films. The technology would be re-cycled computers which would be of sufficiently low value to be left unattended, placed in a box and with a continuously running playlist programmed at the beginning of the day. The screen would therefore be a computer monitor. The aim was also to enable people to “DIY” encode their own films for them to be added to an ever-expanding playlist.
Politically it would be an anarchic, upbeat intervention in the more hidebound conventions of the political conference. Practically it would provide the opportunity for the showing of activist shorts which conventional cinema screenings can be reluctant to programme. It would also enable screening spontaneity and last-minute, urgent, campaign-based screenings. Potentially it would be very transferable to other venues and events.
It would also offer campaigning film makers an opportunity for “copyleft” distribution via “Ruffcuts” CDs, and had the wider remit of helping to build an effective network of radical film makers.
