Anyone planning on filming this?

There is a public screening of activist films on sunday evening at the rampART social centre (www.rampart.co.nr) from 7pm.

During the weekend there is a video activism skill sharing gathering taking place and one of the workshops is quick turn around editing in order to encourage people to get video quickly onto indymedia.

Hopefully somebody taking part on the gathering will also try to get down to this demo on saturday but if anyone else is already planning on being there then perhaps you would like to come along to the rampART on sunday with your footage at knock together a short 'newsreal' for the public screening in the evening.

if so please email rampart [At] mutualaid.org

Anyone else, please pass the word.
