those not counting, 2010
will be the Organizers are now seeking un- & under-distributed films and videos to include in the 2010 Chicago Anarchist Film Festival. We also welcome suggestions for titles that may inadvertently allow anarchy to seep through the cracks of the status quo. Movie collage, music videos and trailers for works-in-progress will also be considered. Deadline is April 1, 2010 Additionally we would like to broaden the scope and cross some boundaries. The curatorial team is re-imagining the Film Fest as more than “seats facing a screen,” however many circle as are projected. We envision real live filmmkers and maybe even live action. Beyond that, it all goes blurry (soft focus, anyone?). And here’s where you come in- what would inspire you? What do you want to participate in? On-the-spot movie making? A skype simulcast with like-minded filmmakers from around the world? A press conference with journalists and audience posing questions to a panel of filmmakers? We have begun to plan and desire your suggestions and your presence. Email
