Indymedia Cinema screening: 'Czech Dream' Aug 5th 8:30pm @ mac
03-08-2005 13:24
'They built a fake hypermarket. They fooled thousands of people. Why did they do it?'
This funny and provocative analysis of the world of media manipulation is based on a hoax perpetrated by two film students on an unsuspecting public. In May 2003, several thousand Prague residents showed up at a meadow on the city's outskirts to attend the opening of Czech Dream, a hypermarket much touted in a clever advertising campaign which said 'Don't Come' and 'Don't Spend'. But the store front turned out to be a façade.
Friday nights screening, which starts at 8:30pm, will be followed by a post-screening discussion, hosted by Indymedia, focusing on the issues that the film raises.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1539962,00.html This is wrong. The article refers to the Bellwin scheme under which
the national government makes grants to local authorities in the case of severe weather incidents such as Boscastle and Birmingham (see
http://www.local.odpm.gov.uk/finance/bellwin/bell0506.htm for terms of the scheme.) This scheme provides money for the Local Authority ONLY for clearing up fallen trees (but not replanting them), mending any roads and pavements and street furniture damaged by the event, providing emergency accommodation and employing extra contractors i.e. like the people with the hydraulic platforms etc.
Roger Godsiff on film (attached below) also stated at a public meeting on Saturday 30th July that this is the case and that it doesn't translate into money for hard hit individuals.
