SUMMARY:African Film Festival: "Niiwam" and "Safi La Petite Mere (Safi the Little Mother)"
DESCRIPTION:Based on a novel by Ousmane Sembene\, Niiwam (Clarence Thomas Delgando\, Senegal\, 1991\, 80 min) recounts the travails of a young couple’s attempt to save the life of their infant son\, who is gravely ill. Unable to find a cure in their village\, Thierno and his wife take him to a city hospital\, only to discover that the “blessings” of modern life has caused a degradation of even the most basic human relationships. The film avoids sentimentalization\, seeing its main characters as tragic examples of much larger\, social problems. As their struggle mounts\, Thierno takes a bus trip across the city\, only to be caught in a more desperate situation. Director Clarence Delgado\, who has worked as Sembene’s assistant\, effectively updates the quiet yet powerful style of Sembene’s own early work. The first-time feature director does not let the simplicity of his story detract from its harrowing and immediate call for humanity. Safi La Petite Mere (Safi the Little Mother) directed by Rasò Ganemtoré\, Burkina Faso\, 2004\, 30 minutes. When her mother died at birth\, Safi\, eight years\, was found with newborn in her arms\, fleeing her village where\, according to the tradition\, the baby must be sacrificed in order to be joined together to his mother and to thus draw aside the bad fate of the village. Having taken refuge in the large city\, Safi is found with a double problem of survival\, for both herself and her brother. Despite hardships however\, Safi finds solidarity and the compassion of a family. In addition\, the value of the market will also be transformed into a multitude of moms ready to give their milk to the baby. Co-Sponsored with the Art Department of RPI and by iEAR Presents!

SUMMARY:African Film Festival: "Le ballon d’or (The Golden Ball)" and "Be Kunko (Everybody's Problem)"
DESCRIPTION:The Golden Ball (Le ballon d’or) directed by Cheik Doukouré\, Guinea/France\, 1992\, 90 minutes. Cheik Doukouré’s second feature celebrates the powerful dream of becoming an African soccer star\, a dream that is pursued by kids in innumerable small villages who play in the dust with bare feet and footballs made of rags. A thoroughly engaging adventure story\, Le ballon follows Bandian\, a boy-wonder on the soccer field\, from his village in the bush through a series of hilarious and not so funny contretemps to superstardom in France. He’s assisted on his way by his hometown witch doctor; the young French doctor (Agnés Soral) who gifts him with a real football — the “golden” ball of the film’s title\, a dwarf (Aboubacar Koita) who offers him a brother’s love\, soccer star Karim (played by Salif Keita)\, and a canny businessman with an eye for the main chance. Be Kunko (Everybody’s Problem) directed by Cheick Fantamady Camara\, Guinea\, 2004\, 30 minutes. Bè Kunko depicts the spiral of violence that a group of teenagers fall into as they struggle to survive day-to-day in a Guinean refugee camp in the capital of Conakry. Little by little\, we discover the teenagers’ daily lives. John and Tom go from burglary to armed robbery\, whilst Satou and Dady end up in prostitution. As time goes by\, the gap widens between Tom\, who revels in an extreme violence\, and John\, who is violent because that’s the only way to survive\, but who nonetheless struggles to build himself a “normal” life again. Despite the love and attention she showers on them\, seventy-year-old Mémé\, their grandmother\, who is a refugee too\, can do nothing to save John\, Tom\, Satou and Dady from this infernal spiral.

SUMMARY:African Film Fest: "Dôlè (Dollar)" and "Africains poids moyens (African Middleweights)"
DESCRIPTION:In director Imanga Ivunga’s Dôlè (Dollar) (2000)\, the action takes place in Libreville\, the capital city of Gabon\, where four street kids scrape a living as a gang. Mougler\, the unwilling hero of this story\, finds his life hard to bear\, between an ailing mother and an absent\, alcoholic father. Yet\, the four friends continue to hold on to their dreams. But Mougler\, more and more concerned about his mother’s health\, decides to urge the gang on by raiding a cash game kiosk. Jury prize winner at Cannes Junior (2000) and Carthage (2000). In Africains poids moyens (African Middleweights)\, directed by Daniel Cattier (2002) the Belgian Congo is on the eve of Independence. A young Congolese boxer\, Samwa\, and his older brother\, Nourou\, arrive in Brussels for the final of the Afro-European Middleweight Championship to fight against the Belgian title holder. Looking to avoid a Congolese victory\, the Belgian organizers order Samwa to “dive” to the floor during the final. Nourou believes that this is an opportunity for Belgian passports and a chance to escape their miserable lives for good\, but Samwa has other ideas.

SUMMARY:The Beehive Design Collective Presents "Dismantling Monoculture: Globalization and Resistance in the Americas"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Beehive Collective for a high-energy picture-lecture.  According to the The Beehive Collective:  Dismantling Monoculture is an anthology of three educational\, visual narratives that illuminate the connections between colonization\, militarization\, and industrial development in the Americas. To create the graphics\, the Beehive interviewed hundreds of community members about the effects of globalization on their lives. The Bees craft these stories into visual metaphors\, weave them together in a patchwork “quilt\,” and lead audiences through a larger-than-life banner version of the graphic”. The Beehive Collective is an all-volunteer non-profit graphics workshop who’s mission is to cross pollinate the grassroots by creating iconic imagery that can be used as popular education and organizing tools.

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.

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:"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:"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:“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:"Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage" with Filmmaker and Author Heather Rogers
DESCRIPTION:Author and filmmaker Heather Rogers will screen her documentary on the political history of rubbish in the United States\, “Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage” and talk about her new book of the same name. Every day a phantasmagoric rush of spent\, used and broken riches flows through our homes\, offices\, and cars. The U.S. is the planet’s number one producer of garbage\, and over the past 30 years America’s garbage output has doubled. Rogers explains that\, despite popular wisdom\, this torrent of trash is not primarily the responsibility of the individual consumer\, instead it’s the outcome of a free market system that needs waste to maintain high consumption levels. To understand the roots of today’s waste-addicted culture\, Rogers examines the grisly\, oddly fascinating underworld of trash.

SUMMARY:Prometheus Radio Project Presents "The Spectrum Roadshow"
DESCRIPTION:The creation of the Low Power FM radio service stands as one of the greatest successes in recent efforts for grassroots media reform. As a result\, hundreds of new low power community stations are broadcasting that otherwise would not be—operated by civil rights groups\, schools\, farmworker organizations\, environmentalists\, cultural organizations\, and others. Low power radio has allowed nonprofits in the United States to re-imagine and revitalize their relationship with media; and this has set the stage for a dramatic expansion of civil society into the world of radio station operations. The Prometheus Radio Project was founded in 1998 by activists working within social change movements such as housing\, environmentalism\, health care\, anti-war\, and criminal justice reform. The success of these movements was limited by corporations’ ownership and control of media\, who used their power to suppress debate on vital issues. Prometheus continues to support dozens of low power stations with their day-to-day operations. We have helped over a hundred groups to apply for full power radio licenses in the 2007 filing opportunity\, and assisted dozens in the 2010 application window. Over 120 interns and volunteers have worked with Prometheus over the past 10 years\, emerging as community leaders and activists in the fight for participatory media.

SUMMARY:"The Trouble With Music" with Author Mat Callahan
DESCRIPTION:Mat Callahan’s The Trouble with Music (2005) explores the crisis facing music. The signs are everywhere\, from the saturation of public space by tuneful trivia to the digital downloading controversy. Quantity has replaced quality. The number of units sold is now the criteria by which music is judged and high-gloss\, mass-produced\, low-content music is everywhere. You can’t shop\, eat\, ride a bus or see a movie without hearing it as each day you are inundated with enticements to buy it. Like the replacement of essential nutriment by junk food\, music lovers are expected to surrender their critical faculties and consume the phony McMusic that can be more effectively controlled and profitably sold than the genuine article. Callahan unravels and elucidates the crises facing music as well as its liberatory potential.  \n\n\n\nThe Trouble with Music includes discussions of: technology and its effects on music making and listening; superabundance and the absence of critical thought; the development of radio; music criticism; copyright; the digital domain and the Internet; labor and music making; and the special relationships among words\, dance\, politics and music. A large segment of the general public seeks a relationship to music and an exceptional profit for those who own and control it. Callahan provides a means of evaluating music and a powerful critique of the music industry. Whether you whistle at work\, sing in the shower or conduct concertos\, this book will challenge and enhance how you think about music. Includes introductions by musician and Dischord Records founder\, Ian Mackaye; Rock and Rap Confidential editor\, Dave Marsh; and an afterward by Boff\, from the multimillion selling group Chumbawamba. Mat Callahan has been a composer\, musician\, engineer and producer for 40 years.
