The Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) explores the politics of protest.

During the week leading up to election day, REDCAT will present a series of seldom-seen anti-war films, titled WAR! Protest in America, 1965-2004. On October 26, the President's Dialogues and Ideas round table will launch the series with a discussion and screening of Julie Talen's Sixty Cameras Against the War. From Tuesday, October 26 through Sunday, October 31 there will be continuous daily screenings in REDCAT?s lobby. On Sunday, October 31, rare experimental protest films will be shown in the theater. WAR! was curated by CalArts faculty member Sam Durant and Chrissie Iles from the Whitney Museum of American Art. A version of the program was also presented at the Whitney Museum. Descriptions of the films and a schedule of screenings follow this release.

For the President's Dialogues and Ideas, California Institute of the Arts' (CalArts) President Steven D. Lavine will host a discussion on war, civil liberties and the arts with artist and CalArts faculty member Sam Durant, political and social theorist Martin Plot and Steven Rohde, former president of the Southern California branch of the ACLU. The evening's video, Sixty Cameras Against the War, features footage from the New York march against the Iraq war on February 15, 2003.

WAR! Protest in America, 1965-2004 brings together documentary and experimental films motivated by the political and social turbulence of the past 40 years ? films engaged with civil rights, black power, personal liberation and political action. They range from seminal Vietnam era works to contemporary responses to the war in Iraq. The series includes works by Third World Newsreel, Jean-Luc Godard, D. A. Pennebaker, Paul Sharits, Carolee Schneemann and Julie Talen. Co-curators Durant and Iles will be in discussion as part of the evening program on October 31.

Durant said, "I was interested in making a mix from the 1960s and early 1970s to very contemporary work. It is important to look at history to understand what?s going on today. I think the series is particularly timely in light of this Presidential campaign in which the two candidate are debating the Vietnam War all over again."

The series includes a rare screening of the legendary One P.M., a film made from footage generated in a failed late 1960s collaboration between Jean-Luc Godard, Richard Leacock and DA Pennebaker. Other highlights include America, a Third World Newsreel film expressing the frustration of Vietnam era America to a rock soundtrack and Iraq: War Against the People, a powerful video from 1991 documenting the effects of the U.S. military conflict in the Persian Gulf.
