DESCRIPTION:
Two independent films on resistance to the war in Iraq will be shown at c-level gallery this friday:

The first is:

GRINGOTON (Gringo-thon)

(2002, 17 Min., Mexico)

A short film by Greg "Gringoyo" Berger

During the invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2003, a misplaced gringo in Mexico City helplessly watches the attrocities through the lens of Mexican television news. Taking a tip from his Mexico City neighbors, he begins to sell chewing gum and wash car windows in the streets of Mexico City...to raise money for a guerrilla army to take out Bush.

"Gringo-thon" is a personal expression of protest of an expatriate living abroad, and also a subtle meditation on the complexities of "gringo" identity in an American continent whose millions of inhabitants misunderstand each other.

WE INTERUPT THIS EMPIRE

(2003, 55 min., USA)

Whispered Media

Looks at San Francisco's activist network and their efforts to make a statement about their opposition to the War in Iraq by shutting down the city's financial district through human barricades, riding bicycles onto the freeway and other acts. Protest footage from the "eye of the storm" (including a choice political pie in the face shot enacted on a female newscaster), contrasts with corporate media coverage in this look at radical resistance and alternate views on the US's current imperialist drive. The filmmakers will appear for discussion following the screening. (www.whisperedmedia.org)
