# EBCAW Video Screening: We Interrupt this Empire Tue May 18 7-8:30pm
The San Francisco Video Activist Network presents the story you won't see
on Fox News: an unflinching look at the Bay Area's radical resistance to
an illegal and horrific war.
"We Interrupt This Empire..." is a collaborative work by many of the Bay
Area's independent video activists which documents the direct actions that
shut down the financial district of San Francisco in the weeks following
the United States' invasion of Iraq. With the audio backdrop including the
live broadcasts of SF Indymedia's Enemy Combatant Radio and the SFPD's
tactical communications that were picked up by police scanners, the
documentary takes a look at the diverse show of resistance from the
streets of San Francisco as well as providing a critique of the coporate
media coverage of the war and exploring such issues as the Military
Industrial Complex, attacks on civil liberties, and the United States'
current imperialist drive.
"This is a clear picture of what's left of an American conscience in the
midst of this national horror-show--this is the best damn doc I've seen on
the local face of what might have been the largest anti-war movement in
world history. "
Where: Grand Lake Neighborhood Center, 530 Lake Park Ave, Oakland (between
Grandlake and Lakeshore, under 580). Wheelchair Accessible
Why: Because we need to show the world that we do know what's going on
with our government and we're NOT OK with it. $1 (510) 658-8994

# May 29-31: The 36th Annual KINETIC SCULPTURE RACE in HUMBOLDT COUNTY invloves elaborate vehicles that make most Burning Man art cars look uninspired by comparison...they cover a 35-mile course through Arcata, Eureka, & Ferndale consisting of roads, sand dunes, steep drops, water, marshy mud, and other tricky terrain, AND they have to do it strictly under HUMAN POWER; starts at Arcata Plaza on Saturday at noon and the finish is on Monday at Ferndale; if you'd like to join a caravan of people from the Bay Area, e-mail RJ's Cacophony Society buddies Don & Stacey at: 2004-yahoo-account [at] elliptic.com http://www.KineticSculptureRace.org
