Sheffield Indymedia's "Summer of Truth" Film Festival
26-06-2006 14:16
These films have never been seen on TV or screened in the cinema.
One of the central themes of many of the films is the proposition that the attacks in New York and Washington on 11th September 2001 were actually an inside job organised by elements within the US administration in order to win public support for an offensive war to gain control of oil resources in the Middle East.
The films are screening every Sunday evening in July at SIF (Sheffield Independent Film) on Brown Street, entry is a suggested donation of £1 and there will be time for discussion about the issues raised in the films after each screening.
The titles, times and further information about the screenings follow, there is more details on the Sheffield Indymedia web site including links to download many of the films:
http://www.sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/ The films were due to be screened at the Matilda Social Centre but have had to be moved to SIF due to the eviction, more details on this story:
