Thursday night films at KIWA:

If you can't make it this Thursday, come next week! There will be free screenings of documentary, fiction, animation, and short films every Thursday evening at the KIWA Cultural Center.



More about the film:

Shot in the US, India, China, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Canada and Cuba during three years. Surplus is the result of a complicated editing process by talented music composer/editor/percussionist Johan S?derberg.

George W Bush's famous "shopping-speech" calling for a war against terrorism that deters the nation from the fear of consumption. Castro responding with hymns to the anti-consumerist, advertising-free island of Cuba. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer preaching that the computer will give us peace on earth "bringing people together" while Adbuster Kalle Lasn warns that advertising pollutes us mentally, that over-consumption is unsustainable and that we are running out of oil. Surplus' main man

is John Zerzan, controversial philosopher whose call for property damage has inspired many to take to the streets. "That is not violence. Sitting there doing dope and watching MTV . Then you go and get a job. Just

schlep along. To me that is violence," says Zerzan. "We are terrorized into being consumers."

In November 2003, Surplus was awarded the prestigious Silver Wolf prize at Amsterdam's IDFA, and has screened widely around the globe since then.
