New Katrina Survivor documentary "Down But Not Out" FREE SCREENING

by Arts Thursday, Jan. 04, 2007 at 7:37 AM

Come hear first hand the testimonies and struggles from Katrina Survivors

download PDF (789.7 kibibytes)

On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina attacked the Gulf Coast of the United States. A Category-5 hurricane, Katrina destroyed entire towns and left a trail of destruction in her wake. But the impact was magnified by city, state, and federal government negligence, and in no city was there a better example of the government’s failure than in New Orleans, where thousands were killed—both by water and bullets—and hundreds of thousands were left behind to save themselves.

In early August 2006, almost one year after the disaster, survivors sit down and talk about their experiences of fighting for survival in the days following Katrina, and how their lives have progressed since returning to New Orleans. Providing accounts of living in a city whose populace has largely been forgotten, the survivors give a stinging description of a slow reconstruction process that is ignoring the human cost of rebuilding. Down But Not Out shows the people directly affected by the fallout from Hurricane Katrina, and lets those who experienced it tell the stories themselves.

When: January 9th, 2007 7:00pm-8:30pm

Where: 5274 W. Pico Blvd. #203 Los Angeles- International Action Center

release the film

by chicano831 Friday, Jan. 05, 2007 at 6:40 AM

if spike lee feels that this movie is a must see about katrina, then do the right thing and release it the file sharing servers. Make it free to anyone who wishes to see it without driving down to limited showings.

Right

by Arts Friday, Jan. 05, 2007 at 11:38 PM

Your right, but its not a spike lee film. Its our own independent film that we shot with a regular camera. I was in NOLA and we interviewed and shot everything ourselves. I want to put it out online but im not sure how. If you know or know someone that can do it, i would appreciate it very much. our main goal is to spread the awareness of what really happened and whats still happening with their struggles. Thanks for the comment and i hope you can make it to the screening. Im also going to give out free copies of the video so it may be worth the drive. Just remember, this is underground. Im buying the blank dvd's, burning it and giving them out. If you know anyone that would sponsor it hit me up. In struggle and Solidarity-A

some ideas

by chicano831 Monday, Jan. 08, 2007 at 10:30 PM



Sorry about the mixup, spike did one also and i thought it was the same film. sorry, i can't come i live in central calif. Well if you have it on dvd you can rip it to an avi formated file on your hard drive. Please check sites concerning ripping dvds.

http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/01/06/122323.php

Once you have the avi file simply store in a filesharing program's sharedfolder, anyone accessing the same network will be able to download it. What camera did you use? It may have a selectable format option.

Also you consider adding a statement that the film can be freely copied for noncommercial purposes or something to that effect.

censored again

my reply to your question on how to post it on the filesharers was apparently censored, yet nothing on that post is private information nor illegal. The process of ripping a dvd is perfectly legal if you are the original author of the dvd or if its held in public domain.

There is a very real revolution occurring on the net its called the open source movement. In time it will bring down microsoft corp and benefit many communities.

You have to hit refresh to reload the new page.

The filmmaker should look up FFMpeg. It's a free program that will encode the film into mpeg 4, which is not proprietary.

It can read a DVD and transcode it into mpeg4.
