Documentary work continues to enjoy a renewal of popularity with cinema
distribution. But for film makers actively producing to affect social
change how successful are they outside the box office? Is film really
effective in advocating for social change or creating it?
?
Canadian film maker Avi Lewis will speak on the experience of producing
The Take, a documentary made along with Naomi Klein, on the Argentine
economic collapse and the movement of occupied factories.
?
Where: Guild Theatre, Union Building, Melbourne University, Carlton.
When: 4pm, Sunday July 24th.
?
The discussion will be preceded at 2pm by a workshop from online video
distribution collective EngageMedia. The workshop will cover the
basics of digital video distribution, from encoding and uploading your
video to the web, licensing your work using creative commons, how to
most effectively get your work out there or how to download video
online to use for screenings or campaigns. We'll be attempting to make
the discussion as jargon free as possible so come along and
participate.
?
cost is $5

Melbourne Indymedia and 3CR present THE TAKE
A film by Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein

Director/producer Avi Lewis will be on hand to introduce and discuss  
the film.
?
In the wake of Argentina?s spectacular economic collapse in 2001, Latin  
America?s most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of  
abandoned factories and mass unemployment. In suburban Buenos Aires,  
thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll  
out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the  
silent machines. But this simple act ?the take ?has the power to turn  
the globalization debate on its head.
?
Director/producer Avi Lewis (Counterspin) and writer/producer and  
renowned author Naomi Klein (No Logo) take viewers inside the lives of  
ordinary visionaries, as they reclaim their work, their dignity and  
their democracy.
