The<BR>> series considers the possibilities for political action today, as well<BR>> as<BR>> its limitations. The films in the series range from documentation of<BR>> political actions to examinations of political theory and fictional<BR>> accounts of important moments of political unrest. The topics range<BR>> from a<BR>> historical view of student actions in the 60's to an international<BR>> view<BR>> considering actions around the world and a selection of recent videos<BR>> spread virally through social networks online.<BR>> <BR>> Each film night will begin with a short talk by Micha Cárdenas or a<BR>> guest<BR>> speaker to situate the film in the context of the current social<BR>> situation<BR>> across the University of California, but also at universities around<BR>> the<BR>> world. Specific focus will be given to personal experiences with these<BR>> movements, the effects of neoliberalism on education and to efforts to<BR>> reimagine what education could be.<BR>> <BR>> All screenings will take place at the Visual Arts Facility (VAF)<BR>> Performance Space from 7-9pm.<BR>> <BR>> Tuesday, Jan 12 -<BR>> <BR>> And the War Has Only Just Begun by Tiqqun<BR>> Excerpts from La Haine by Kassovitz<BR>> Excerpts from If... by Lindsay Anderson<BR>> Los Angeles UCLA Student Protest<BR>> Student Occupation of New School<BR>> UCSC Occupation - Friday Night<BR>> ASTRONAUTS SEE UC STRIKE FROM SPACE<BR>> <BR>> Tuesday, Jan 19 -<BR>> <BR>> Excerpts from Un Granito de Arena<BR>> The Potentiality of Storming Heaven - on the Greek Student Occupations<BR>> Excerpts from Tout Va Bien by JP Gorin and Jean-Luc Godard<BR>> UC Berkeley Protests at Wheeler Hall Part 2<BR>> UC Berkeley Budget Protest.

If we set our<BR>> horizons<BR>> higher – free education, a maximum salary differential of, for<BR>> instance, 3<BR>> or 5, a university managed by faculty and students and workers – then<BR>> we<BR>> must realize, immediately, that nothing short of full-scale<BR>> insurrection<BR>> could ever achieve this. And if we were strong enough to bring the<BR>> existing order tumbling down around us, why would we stop short and<BR>> settle<BR>> for the foregoing list?<BR>> ...This is why we make no demands. Because we want to be in solidarity<BR>> with all who are oppressed and exploited. We will not say who they are<BR>> in<BR>> advance. They will define themselves by rising up and standing with<BR>> us."<BR>> <BR>> - Anti-Capital Projects: Questions and Answers<BR>> http://anticapitalprojects.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/anti-capital-projects/<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Organized by Micha Cárdenas, Ricardo Dominguez and Elle Mehrmand of<BR>> the<BR>> b.a.n.g. lab.<BR> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390706/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign up now.</a></body>
