Coming soon. The Climate Chaos Ruffcuts Collection
This collection is being compiled now.
It will include videos from Rising Tide.
Further contribution and suggestions welcome.
All these collections are available as PAL MPEG CDROMS
PAL VHS or PAL/NTSC VCD can be produced specially to order if required.

There is a suggested donation of £5 for each CD to help cover costs.
These collections are copyleft - you are free (and indeed encouraged) to copy them yourselves and pass them on to others.
email real2reel@videoactivism.org or phone 01803 840098

Note: Real2Reel needs somewhere online to list what films it has available. Suggestions or hosting offers most welcome. This would not be used as an online archive of videos.

We are however looking to make available to screeners, our complete archive of over 150 videos, via the internet. This could be an FTP server or web based system on which downloads are only available to subscribers. If you know of anywhere with the space and bandwidth to host such a service, please let me know.

A less reliable alterative is peer2peer. Any one with a broadband connection and running Kazza could also help us make these videos available to a wider audience via p2p filesharing - get in touch if you'd like to help or find out more.
