Camcorder Guerilla Weekend Off to a Great Start

The Camcorder Guerilla Weekend is off to a flying start
with direct action in glasgow!

The Camcorder Guerilla Weekend in Glasgow has started off well with over forty people coming to see the video on Friday night and then going to a series of workshops at the GMAC (The Glasgow Media Access Centre, the host of the event).

The groups divided into 3 groups, each learning with a separate tutor how to use cameras, edit films, create stories, turn direct action into live web-actions!
One of the groups did a short video on International Women's Day, and then another group filmed a direct action at an army recruitment center in Glasgow, as people fly-pasted tons of AT EASE leaflets about how army soldiers with ethical objections could take this forward - the posters formed a giant NO WAR sign.
Then they go into the thick of Royal Navy Celebration (of their 100th year anniversary!). As the navy brass band marched and played, the anti-war activists marched and chanted 'We don't want no bloody war, free free palestine, don't attack iraq!'. Afterwards, the video activists editited and digitized them, and will upload them tomorrow morning - so watch here!
