DESCRIPTION:
Patient and faithful Friday film lovers, your trust is well placed. We

have quite a line-up of films coming your way. Our next presentation

(this Friday, August 1st) is Michael Moore's 1997 film, "The Big One".

Michael Moore armed only with a camera and a sharp sense of humor is

searching America's heartland for an executive who will respond to the

question: If Fortune 500 companies are posting record-setting profits,

why do they continue laying off thousands of workers?

Then is the big event featuring "Big Roy", the spitit of the Arroyo, and

a film about the movement that inspited him, "Ah! The Hopeful Pageantry

of Bread and Puppet Theater"

After that we have lined up another really special presentation, "We

Interruupt This Empire . . . "

> What happens when a trigger-happy cowboy with a pocket full of loot

aims

> his guns on an oil-rich, people-poor nation?

>

> The San Francisco Video Activists' Network presents the story you

won't

> see on Fox News: an eye-popping, jaw-dropping look at the Bay Area's

> radical resistance to an illegal war. Guest speakers and the

filmmakers

> will attend the screenings for a question and answer session after the

> show.

>

> "We Interrupt This Empire..." is a collaborative work by many of the

Bay

> Area's independent video activists which documents the direct actions

that

> shut down the financial district of San Francisco in the weeks

following

> the United States' invasion of Iraq. With the audio backdrop including

the

> live broadcasts of Enemy Combatant Radio from the SF Independent Media

> Center to SFPD's tactical communications that were picked up by police

> scanners, the documentary takes a look at the diverse show of

resistance

> from the streets of San Francisco as well as providing a critique of

the

> corporate media coverage of the war and exploring such issues as the

> Military Industrial Complex, attack on civil liberties, and the United

> States' current imperialist drive.



Don't forget to bring a snack (or a feast) to share. We'll be there at 8

and start the movie around 8:30
