Political Protest 3

1:Teoría de las Naciones 2:Berlusconi's Mousetrap


 
1:TEORÍA DE LAS NACIONES
José Luis Tirado, Spain, 2:30’
A critical comment on the concept of democracy and it’s incarnation in contemporary society as well as on the concept of nation. And a parody of electoral propaganda.
 

2:BERLUSCONI’S MOUSETRAP
Indymedia Ireland, 120’
This is a two hour video-documentary made by people from
Indymedia Ireland, about the protests against the G8 conference in Genoa,
Italy in the summer of 2001. One of the interesting aspects of the
documentary is that activists look back at their own actions in Genoa, and
conclude that often they played the exact role the police wanted them to
play.
