SUMMARY:“Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony” 
DESCRIPTION:Lee Hirsch’s 2002 film Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony documents South African musicians\, playwrights\, poets and activists as they recall the struggle against apartheid from the 1940s to the 1990s that stripped black citizens of South Africa of basic human rights\, and the important role that music played in that struggle. The documentary uses a mixture of interviews\, musical performances and historical film footage. Among the South Africans who take part are Miriam Makeba\, Abdullah Ibrahim\, Hugh Masekela\, Vusi Mahlasela and others. The freedom songs heard in the film have an important historical context. Particularly in the United States\, freedom songs have referred to protest songs of the abolitionist\, civil rights\, and labor movements. Yet\, in South Africa\, the songs take on a different meaning\, referring to a unique collection of songs tied to the struggle for racial equality during the 20th century. Stylistically\, freedom songs originated in choir as a unifying and prevalent genre that combined southern African signing traditions with Christian hymns. Most of the songs have simple melodies and are sung a cappella. More importantly\, they are composed and sung in groups\, and often reflect changing political circumstances and attitudes. The film is bookmarked by the exhumation of the remains of Vuyisile Mini\, trade union organizer\, member of the African National Congress\, and composer of “Beware Verwoerd” and other protest songs. Mini was executed by the apartheid regime in 1964.

SUMMARY:"Two Square Miles" with Filmmaker Barbara Ettinger and Friends of Hudson Founder Sam Pratt
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Ettinger’s 2006 documentary Two Square Miles tracks the conflicts in the small town of Hudson\, New York as a proposed multinational coal-fired cement plant threatens to reshape the community. With its thriving main street\, diverse population\, and healthy rate of revitalization\, Hudson\, New York could be seen as a model of small-town America. But underneath the surface\, Hudson is dealing with the same issues that communities of all sizes face: ever-widening income gaps and the loss of a middle class; threats to health and environment by polluting corporations\, gentrification and homogenization; and a compromised democratic process. Local business and small farms find it impossible to compete against national chains\, while long-standing friction persists along racial and economic lines. Two Square Miles takes a closer look at this small community in a state of flux\, a town of 7\,500 located 100 miles north of New York City. How do the residents of this town deal with change — and with each other? Presented by Barbara Ettinger and Sam Pratt\, founder of Friends of Hudson.

SUMMARY:"The Next Industrial Revolution" Screening with Community Potluck
DESCRIPTION:In Chris Bedford’s and Shelley Morhaim’s The Next Industrial Revolution (2001)\, architect Bill McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart bring together ecology and human design. While some environmental observers predict doomsday scenarios in which a rapidly increasing human population is forced to compete for ever scarcer natural resources\, Bill McDonough sees a more exciting and hopeful future. In his vision humanity takes nature itself as our guide reinventing technical enterprises to be as safe and ever-renewing as natural processes. Can’t happen? It’s already happening…at Nike\, at Ford Motor Company\, at Oberlin College\, at Herman Miller Furniture\, and at DesignTex…and it’s part of what architect McDonough and his partner\, chemist Michael Braungart\, call ‘The Next Industrial Revolution.’ Shot in Europe and the United States\, the film explores how businesses are transforming themselves to work with nature and enhance profitability.

SUMMARY:"Aristide and the Endless Revolution" with Filmmaker Nicolas Rossier
DESCRIPTION:While the international community passively looked on\, the democratically elected president of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere was violently deposed twice. Aristide: and the Endless Revolution (2005) investigates the events in Haiti that led to the second brutal deposition of Jean Bertrand Aristide. The archival footage and interviews soon make it clear that the United States played a key role in this. Former colonizer France also had substantial interests in the developments in Haiti. Shortly before his second deposition\, Aristide demanded that France pay compensation for the damage his country had suffered through French colonial exploitation: $21\,685\,135\,671.48\, to be exact. It was a last desperate move of a president (and former priest) who strove for a dignified form of poverty for his people. Both supporters and opponents of his policy are introduced in this investigative documentary. Director Rossier\, whose Brothers and Others was screened at the 2003 IDFA in the USA Today section\, interviewed people like Noam Chomsky\, the assistant United States Secretary of State Roger Noriega\, actor and UN goodwill ambassador Danny Glover\, and many Haitians. Of course\, Aristide himself also appears. Preceeded by a reception for the Underground Gallery\, featuring an exhibition of Haitian art featuring the work of Haitian artists Azouke Sanon and Jean-Marie Gabriel (which will be on display through the month of May).

SUMMARY:"Inter/Play..." with Pauline Oliveros and Surajit Sarkar
DESCRIPTION:Art blends with politics as experimental music pioneer Pauline Oliveros and media artist Surajit Sarkar join creative forces at The Sanctuary For Independent Media!  \n\n\n\nEven as internet use has grown exponentially\, the hierarchy of metaphors that describe it has remained constant: The internet is most of all a mail pigeon\, then a library\, then an amusement park\, then a shopping center. For the most part\, the online world mirrors the offline world. People bring to the Internet the activities\, interests\, and behaviors that preoccupied them before theWeb existed. But it has also enabled new kinds of activities – and certainly not in the way people are doing them now. Broadband internet engenders a new era of instant connection and interactivity. Here\, the totality of representations exists in virtual proximity. Representation and communication have become one. Does it mean that the Net is the infrastructure of a dynamic new human consciousness powered by associative thought\, of CYBERCEPTION? An emerging human faculty of technologically-augmented cognition and perception? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Biographies\n\n\n\nSurajit Sarkar is currently visiting from India as a professor in the Arts Department at Rensselaer. He has worked in professional television in India\, creating weekly programs\, as well as documentary and educational films. He has worked as a video artist for theatre and dance stage productions as well\, and is a founding member of the CatapultArts Caravan\, a travelling video+ arts group who believe that the biggest challenge today is to maintain our sense of selves as we grapple the tidal wave of a national and supra national economy and its allied cultural creations. \n\n\n\nPauline Oliveros is a sound explorer\, improviser and composer. She has involved herself with electronic music since the end of the 1959s and is widely known for her accordion playing with electronics using herExpanded Instrument System (EIS). She also founded Deep ListeningInstitute\, Ltd. in 1985 to encourage others in the practice of DeepListening for creativity and heightened awareness of sound and sounding. Recently with her Deep Listening Band she performed with fourteen Philadelphia musicians during a residency at Trinity Center for Urban Life sponsored by the American Composer’s Forum. She teaches at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the Department of the Arts.
