NFB Funding Cuts: And then there was one...
2008-06-10 02:18:00
Despite statements made to the contrary at the time, the $2.5 million that the Conservative government cut from the National Film Board of Canada's budget in March is resulting in more jobs being lost, including in programming. The NFB, Canada's sole publicly-funded film agency, has announced it will be eliminating 22 positions, including two of its three remaining staff directors. Paul Cowan and Beverly Shaffer, two of Canada's most renowned documentary film directors, with a combined 46 NFB films to their names, will now be joining the ranks of Canada's private filmmakers (including other NFB alumni who have seen their jobs disappear during previous rounds of Liberal and Tory backed cuts). The sole director remaining on staff will be Alanis Obomsawin. Bredan Kelly has more in a good article from today's Montreal Gazette.

Big City Mayors Bash Bill C-10
2008-06-06 05:38:00
Opposition keeps growing to the Conservative government's Bill C-10. The controversial bill would allow the Minister of Heritage to rescind tax-credits from television programs and films after production should they deem it 'contrary to public policy.' Today the mayors of Montreal and Toronto made the nickel and dime argument against C-10 to the Senate banking committee: ?This industry is of incredible importance,? said [Toronto Mayor David] Miller after telling the senators that it employs 35,000 people in his city ? more than the manufacturing sector. Its artistic and financial success depends on its ?continued ability to work in a field where the boundaries are well defined and political interference or censorship will not be tolerated.? Mayor Gerald Tremblay of Montreal told the committee that the film industry has been active in his city for 60 years and that the industry is worth $1.3-billion to his province. ?Having read the bill, we feel obliged to state that the measures...

Garbage Warrior inspires us to live with what we throw out
2008-05-30 22:28:00
There is a war being waged far from the carnage of Iraq or Darfur. It connects to the war on want, but is more about making peace with our environment than anything else. The documentary Garbage Warrior is the story of renegade architect Michael Reynolds, who has been quietly waging a battle in New Mexico for the right to make mistakes when designing housing. Reynolds has been building ?Earthships,? sustainably self-contained housing units in the desert of New Mexico since the 1970s. The film traces the growing community of like-minded builders that work with him and the decade-long fight Reynolds embroils himself with, first with municipal zoning boards then with the state legislature. His goal: to have a bill passed that would allow experimental housing such as his Earthships legal and physical space to develop and grow. The documentary is funny and inspiring, well shot and aside from the odd overdone cliché of a hammer hitting dirt to drive a point home, is skillfully edited. Re...

CRTC preparing to regulate the internet
2008-05-28 13:20:00
They said they wouldn't do it 1999. And again in 2003. But now the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommmunication Commission is getting set to regulate the internet and they want Canadians to help them set the terms for an upcoming hearing on the matter. The CRTC is Canada?s federal communications regulator. In 1999, they took the position that the internet was mostly alphanumeric text, not technically sophisticated enough to provide audio and visual content easily, and not of sufficient interest to consumers of audio and visual content to warrant regulation. Well, that?s changed, and regulations are coming. In Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-44, the CRTC has announced a major investigation into the feasibility and scope of regulating content on the internet. But before they rip open the discussion, they want input from Canadians about what questions to ask -- What areas to focus on? What concerns should get priority? For example, should questions about net neutrality be r...

Everything you wanted to know about online censoring and filtering
2008-05-26 17:53:00
Even wonder what you?re not getting access to on the internet? New technologies and new powers that be are increasingly capable of filtering websites from online use. A new book from MIT Press Access Denied gives the skinny on internet censoring strategies and motivations. From a review at neural.it: Ten OpenNet Initiative (ONI) researchers were involved in this seminal report for a few years, focusing on general internet filtering strategies and motivations, and analyzing the filtering conditions and legal/ethical tactics state by state .. Every sensitive country has its own mix of motivations and consequent strategies. So, showing a warning or a disguising error web page is a political choice, directly reflecting the government policies, as well as using passwords, IP classes or entire services (Skype) as the censorship technical targets. Scanning the different filtering politics is like viewing a social and political atlas, revealing what a formal territory fear most. And t...

Redacting reality: Art exhibition about what the government doesn't want us
2008-05-23 13:49:00
How can a democracy work if the citizens don't know what the government is up to? Access to Information - the little rules that manage the sticky territory between what the government thinks we need to know and what the government is actually up to - is all about organizing the public imagination. It's an intellectual game of hide-an-seek. The government hides and we seek, and it begs questions about the foundations of trust in democratic systems of governance. For Reasons of State takes this tricky bit if state business on directly. The exhibition, which opened on May 16 at The Kitchen, explores government secrecy and censorship. Installations involve a myriad of information technologies - surveillance video, voice mail, 16 mm film, photography. From Ed Halter's review at Rhizome.org: Ben Rubin's Dark Source (2005) offers a bank of microfiche readers displaying copies of documents that appear to be nothing but hand-scrawled bars. During a 2002 security snafu, Rubin wa...

Rally on Parliament Hill for Net Neutrality
2008-05-22 13:48:00
Canadians outraged by the slow strangling of the internet are invited to share their outrage with the Parliament of Canada on May 27th. The Net Neutrality Rally will demand legislation to protect the internet from predatory practices like traffic shaping and data management, and to encourage transparency among ISP companies. Transportation assistance is available -- check out the Net Neutrality Rally webite for more details. This is an important first step in the battle to save the internet -- a strong showing at this rally could be the beginning of legislative protection for net neutrality in Canada. You can also check out savethenet.ca for more info on the movement to protect net neutrality in Canada.

Pangea Day: connecting the world through film
2008-05-20 20:14:00
Pangea Day was a global event of short films, music and speakers ounded by Jehane Noujaime, TED Prize winner and director of the award winning film Control Room. It was broadcast live in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro. It was also shown at grassroots screenings in cities, communities, and private homes around the world and was streamed live on the internet. Most people don't know other cultures or societies and some don't even know their neighbors. Noujaime states, "By sharing stories, we've started the process of turning strangers into friends." She believes that if people from all around the globe start trying to understand each other, then we can move a few steps closer to world peace. Since many aren't willing and others aren't able to travel, Noujaime concludes that we can use film to share stories and overcome the obstacle of distance. The first part of the program seemed a bit light, like it was oversimplifying m...

Maori activist/artist Tame Iti addresses ?terrorism? through art
2008-05-20 16:27:00
Aboriginal activist and Tuhoe traditional leader Tame Iti has re-entered the art world. Facing arms-related charges from a raid last October by New Zealand authorities that saw the arrest of some 16 people (including 2 artists apparently arrested for knowing Iti), Iti has re-issued a hip-hop song ?Terra-ism? on a CD of songs produced in conjunction with a four-part panel of paintings produced by New Zealand artists Mike West and Otis Frizzel. The hip hop-style song describes state action against indigenous people as terrorism -- certainly not a new idea for anyone familiar with the history of AIM (American Indian Movement) and their fight against colonialism in North America or the writings of Ward Churchill. But when indigenous people accuse states of terrorism, it always seems to cause outrage, especially among those who want to monopolize the idea of terrorism in politically strategic ways. In a direct reference to 9/11, the paintings depict, among other things, aircraft f...

Bare Life in Jerusalem's Museum on the Seam
2008-05-07 23:41:00
Walking into Bare Life in Jerusalem's Museum on the Seam, one is immediately absorbed by the exhibit's thick layers of context and irony. The building, which once functioned as Israel's military outpost on the seam between Israel and Jordan when the city was divided (1948-67), is now a venue for contemporary socio-political art. Among the human rights-themed artworks are windows backed by sliding steel doors originally used for armed lookouts. Bare Life provides the space to reflect on the tension in this ideologically and religiously divided city, and the normalization of its militarization. Thoughts of Apartheid might enter viewers' minds when they approach the exhibit's first installation: the South African artist Kendell Geers's Time of the Harvest constructed with shelves filled with Belgian police riot helmets. From the surveillance works of Sophie Calle to psychologically disturbing photos by Paul McCarthy and absurdist films of Samual Beckett, the museum's curator has...

Kent State Massacre Remembered: Online Memorial
2008-05-03 10:00:00
On May 4, 1970 four students of Kent State University were shot dead by National Guardsmen during a protest against the US government's invasion of Cambodia. It was a frightening acting out of violence by the state -- like the earlier and less well remembered murder of three black students by state troopers at South Carolina State College (February 8, 1968; another 28 injured), and at Jackson State University on May 14, 1970 where two black students were killed (another 12 injured) by local police. In all three tragedies the state turned against its citizens engaged only in the democratically legitimate activity of dissent. Mike and Kendra's website ? May 4, 1970 ? is an online archival memorial about the Kent State event and about the subsequent struggle with University officials to have memorials constructed in the parking lot where the students were killed. The website documents in detail and with photographs what happened not only on May 4, but in the days leading up to th...

The Six Million Dollar SLAPP
2008-05-03 07:03:00
Looks like Barrick Gold is following up on a previous threat: On April 30th, Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold announced it is making good on threat of legal action against a small, non-profit Quebec publishing house. The world's largest gold mining company - which took in $1.73 billion last year - is suing Les Éditions Écosociété and the authors of the book Noir Canada: pillage, corruption et criminalité en Afrique for an incredible six million dollars - 25 times the amount the publisher says it makes in a year. The company also wants all copies of the book pulled from shelves. The books principal author, Alain Denault, and the publishing house immediately denounced the lawsuit as a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) meant simply to silence the mining company's critics. Both the author and the publisher have pointed out that the book is thoroughly researched and relies heavily on research that is publicly available. In the suit, Barrick claims it has b...

Threadbare documentary follows threads between immigration, terrorism and r
2008-04-28 14:00:00
Arshad Khan's Threadbare is understandably a little rough around the edges (some shaky camera, sound and lighting), but delivers an emotional and lucid blow to the dangerously paranoid and racist echelons of state power in Canada. The 40 minute documentary follows the story of the "Toronto 24"?the South Asian men in Toronto wrongly suspected of being a terror cell operating inside Canada, supposedly targeting the CN tower. After violent and publicized arrests of the men, their names and loose associations with Al-Queda (they had no associations with Al-Qaeda at all) traveled the globe, culminating in CNN reports and front page stories on every Canadian newspaper. Khan's film traces the absurd media blow-up following their arrest and detention, and offers some more sober insights into irresponsible and responsible journalism from some of the writers at Canada's only large left-of-center daily, The Toronto Star. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) project that was racially p...

Spiderman dancing over cities of Trash: The political art of Vivan Sundaram
2008-04-28 12:54:00
When I was a smoker, the world was my ashtray. It's a philosophy on a short leash of intelligence (or, should I say, with short-sheeted intelligence). I don't smoke any more, but it looks like the world is still somebody's ashtray - actually, somebody's garbage dump. And this is what Delhi artist Vivan Sundaram forces us to reconsider in his new exhibition at the Chemould Prescott Road Gallery in Mumbai. The exhibition (called Trash ) is made up of sculpture, video and photographs. The huge digital prints (some as large as 60? x 40?) are of changing perspectives of a massive urban cityscape made of compressed and reconfigured garbage. Picture in your mind waste transformed into teetering skyscrapers, bridges, streets and parks, and old toothbrushes mangled into sickly palm trees. Sundaram built the garbage cityscape in his studio a few years ago with the help of members of Delhi's waste-picker community (the waste-pickers were hired and the project coordinated through ...

Lawrence Lessig on net neutrality
2008-04-21 13:32:00
Imagine a world where the power company controlled which appliances you could plug into the outlet, or charged special fees for some appliances and not others. It's a clever analogy used by Lawrence Lessig to explain the importance of net neutrality. Imagine a world where your ISP had the power to charge you more to visit some websites over others, to decide which websites you can visit on their network, and charged some websites more than others for network access. Lawrence Lessig -- Stanford Professor and founder of the Center for Internet and Society, makes the case in a recent interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. Lessig also talks about the phenomenal growth of Google -- originally an experiment by a group of graduate students at Standford looking for a better search engine. He says that if telecommunications companies had the ability to 'traffic shape' and 'data manage' when Google was started, the Google folks would have needed permission from the network ...

Israel's Nazi porn perversion
2008-04-18 19:09:00
Stalags, a documentary film about Israeli Nazi porn paperbacks of the same name, is exposing audiences in North America to one of history's most bizarre literary genres. The film asks probing questions about post-Holocaust Jewish identity and sexuality, in an attempt to explain why Israeli teens had an irresistible infatuation with busty blonde Nazis. Read under the table by a generation of pubescent Israelis, often the children of survivors, the Stalags were named for the World War II prisoner-of-war camps in which they were set. The books told perverse tales of captured American or British pilots being abused by sadistic female SS officers outfitted with whips and boots. The plot usually ended with the male protagonists taking revenge, by raping and killing their tormentors. After decades in dusty back rooms and closets, the Stalags, a peculiar Hebrew concoction of Nazism, sex and violence, are re-emerging in the public eye. And with them comes a rekindled debate on the cultural ...

5 tips for organizing grassroots film screenings
2008-04-15 17:50:00
At a recent Cinema Politica screening at Concordia University, Montreal , filmmaker and professor Liz Miller caught up with Svetla Turnin and yours truly to get our two cents on organizing grassroots political film screenings. She interviewed us at her very packed screening of her new documentary, The Water Front. For those unfamiliar with the project, Cinema Politica was started five years ago at Concordia and has grown into an alternative network for distributing and exhibiting independent cinema (with a focus on Canadian titles and documentaries). There are currently about 30 locals (chapters) in operation across Canaada, mostly at college and university campuses. Cinema Politica has also sprung up in Germany, France, and Romania. The first Cinema Politica "festival" will take place this May in Transylvania. überculture, the non-profit responsible for this here blog, is the organization behind the project.

The whole event was a captured on closed circuit television (CCTV), but Banksy was not.

Painting of Last Supper orgy causes controversy; Send an email in support o
2008-04-14 13:47:00
Who says cartoons are the only way to rile a religious flock? Artist Alfred Hrdlicka, one of Austria's most celebrated painters, has caused a spasm of outrage among Christians with a painting in a recent exhibition. The painting in question is ?Leonardo's Last Supper, restored by Pier Paolo Pasolini? which, in the artist's words, depicts the event as ?a homosexual orgy?. Most surprising is the location of the exhibition -- the museum of Vienna's Roman Catholic Cathedral. The Catholic Church sponsored the show. And this to me is the most remarkable part of the story: that the museum allowed the painting to be included in the show in the first place. It was only after numerous angry complaints by patrons that the painting was removed. Heroically (to my mind), the museum director Berhard Boehler and exhibition curator Martina Judt have defended the art work stating that the museum never intended to offend anyone and that art should be allowed to provoke debate. Hrdlick'...

Barrick Gold blocks book launch of "Noir Canada"
2008-04-13 22:56:00
The members of Collectif Ressources d?Afrique, Édition Écosociété and their editorial board out of Montreal have been served with a SLAPP suit (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) by Canadian mining company Barrick Gold in light of the release of their upcoming publication, Noir Canada : Pillage, corruption et criminalité en Afrique. The book launch for Noir Canada, edited by Alain Denault and the Collectif Ressources d'Afrique, was cancelled April 11, 2008, when the authors and publishers (Édition Écosociété) received letters from a law firm representing Barrick Gold. The letters alledgedly refer to apparent inaccuracies in the book. Noir Canada is a synthesis and analysis of national and international documents (reports, books, documentaries?) detailing numerous corporate abuses implicating a number of Canadian companies in Africa, which operate with the ?unfailing help of the Canadian government?. The list of corporate abuses is long: advantageous mining contracts in...

Canadian Heritage Minister hates censorship bill C-10, says Senator
2008-04-11 21:52:00
Heritage Minister Josée Verner hates bill C-10, according to a comment made by Conservative Senator David Angus. A member of the Senate committee on banking, trade and commerce, Angus was listening to arguments against the proposed film censorship law from Canadian film producers when he committed a classic political faux pas?he said something incriminating while his microphone was still on. "The minister agrees. She told me she hates the law," said Angus to a colleague, as his voice was still being streamed live on the internet. "What we want is a sort of moratorium?" As an experienced politician, Angus took the high road when asked about his comments. Standing strong in the face of incriminating evidence, he denied everything. "I did not quote the minister because I did not even talk to the minister," he told CBC News. "I haven't heard myself say [the comment] and I'm certainly not acknowledging that I said it." What was he thinking? That as an unelected Senator appointed fo...

Activists and actors were in Ottawa today to protest the proposed Bill C-10, which would give the government powers to censor films (by killing their tax credits) it deemed "offensive." So far Harper's Conservatives have found the following things offensive and have summarily cut their funding: + Adult literature program for First Nations + Women shelters across the country + First Nations Declaration of Rights at the UN (not only opposed, but tried to influence other states into not signing this historical document that recognizes indigenous peoples' rights across the globe) + Medicinal marajuana + Assistance funding envelopes for museums + Pensions + Arts OK, for more on what the Tories find offensive you can read an earlier post from my blog.

Email scams from Africa turned into graphic posters

The situation is always urgent, and all we need do is give them details of our account and then sit back and watch the money roll in ... or so they say. East German born Henning Wagaenbreth has assembled 36 of these scam emails and illustrated them as pop culture posters. The illustrations are chaotic and humorous renditions of the stories told in the scams. The illustrations have been assembled using woodblock, linocut and primitive typography. The book is called Help, 36 Email Scams from Africa and is published by Gingko Press. Wagenbreth is a visual artist and professor of visual communication at Universitat der Kunste in Berlin.

Pro-peace Israeli radio station RAM-FM gets shut down for disturbing airwav
2008-04-09 13:00:00
Democracy Now! reported yesterday morning that Israel i police and special forces stormed the tiny Jerusalem RAM-FM radio station on Monday and shut down the pro-peace media outlet because it was apparently "interfering with the airwaves" and "operating without a permit." Pro-peace activists point out it was one of the few FM stations that took as a mandate the bringing together of Palestinians and Israeli citizens. From Ynet News: RAM-FM is owned by Jewish businessman Issy Kirsh in South Africa and has been on the air for a year. Modeled after a South African station that provided a venue for reconciliation after apartheid, RAM-FM says it wants to create a safe place for Israelis and Palestinians to talk. The station attracts a diverse audience of tens of thousands, from Israeli soldiers and Palestinian students to West Bank villagers, English speaking immigrants, migrant workers and foreign diplomats. It is one of the numerous pirate radio stations broadcasting throughout Israel, ...

Two new docs on Vancouver's drug-riddled downtown East Side

Two new Canadian documentaries are tackling the subject of Vancouver's troubled downtown East Side . Devil Plays Hardball, by Nijole Kujmickas was broadcast earlier in March on CBC's Passionate Eye and Nettie Wild's latest offering, Bevel Up, will premiere this month at Hot Docs. On The Devil Plays Hardball (via CBC): This project is unique because unlike some interventionist documentaries and make-over reality shows, it is not trying to create a sensationalist finale, but sincerely question whether the mentor approach can affect social change," says Catherine Olsen, senior programmer of documentaries for CBC Newsworld. Shot in HD, Devil Plays Hardball endeavors to make positive changes in the homeless population, one step ? and one person ? at a time. The filmmakers, who placed ads on Craigslist and on shelter and hostel notice boards in Vancouver, were surprised by the overwhelming number of potential mentors and homeless people who applied. And on Bevel Up (via Nettie Wild): At...
