CULTURE JAM: Hijacking Commercial Culture - 57 minutes
This doco delivers a fascinating rap on the 20th Century movement called "Culture Jamming" - taking a look at a new
breed of revolutionary that stands poised along our information highways waging war on logos and symbols: Culture
Jammers. These pranksters and subversive artists are on a mission to artfully reclaim our mental environment by causing
a bit of brand damage to corporate mindshare. Stopping over in San Francisco, NY and Toronto, we catch the jamming in
action with likes of the Billboard Liberation Front, Disneyarch-enemy Reverend Billy from the Church of Stop Shopping
Culture, cultural commentators, a billboard advertiser and a constitutional lawyer. CULTURE JAM asks: Is Culture Jamming
civil disobedience? Senseless vandalism? The only form of self defence left? (As screened at the International Film
Festival in Auckland 2002). Website
Globalisation and the Media - 21 mins.
Globalisation and the Media explores how the media is involved in shaping public opinion during the ‘War on Terrorism’
and Globalisation. It offers a wide range of viewpoints from broadcasters, journalists, computer hackers, media
activists, and news editors. Travelling across the USA, Nigeria, Britain and Italy, it reports on the violent
suppression of the alternative media. Discover how new technology, such as the internet and camcorders, is challenging
the role of the traditional news gatherer. Made by UK alternative media network, Undercurrents .
CELL ART Anti-Ads
Locally produced by Auckland artists, these adbuster style commentaries are a piss take on transnational companies in
New Zealand, starting with Tranzrail (winner of this year’s Roger Awards) .These Disadvertisments are funny stuff.
This will be the second screening of 2003 presented by the Auckland crew from the Aotearoa Independent Media Centre
(http:// http://www.indymedia.org.nz). One of our aims is to provide a regular public forum for political documentaries and media art ignored by the
mainstream media.
