SUMMARY:"Unmarketable: Brandalism\, Copyfighting\, Mocketing\, and Erosion of Integrity" with Author Anne Elizabeth Moore
DESCRIPTION:Writer and activist Anne Elizabeth Moore investigates corporate America’s inroads into– and alliance with– the cultural underground in her just- published book\, Unmarketable: Brandalism\, Copyfighting\, Mocketing\, and Erosion of Integrity (The New Press\, 2007).  \n\n\n\nFor years the do-it-yourself (DIY)/punk underground has worked against the logic of mass production and creative uniformity\, disseminating radical ideals and directly making and trading goods and services. But what happens when the underground becomes just another market? What happens when the very tools that the artists and activists have used to build word of mouth are co-opted by corporate America? What happens to cultural resistance when it becomes just another marketing platform?  \n\n\n\nMoore is the co-editor of Punk Planet\, the Best American Comics series editor\, and the author of Hey Kidz! Buy This Book: A Radical Primer on Corporate and Governmental Propaganda and Artistic Activism for Short People (Soft. Skull Press\, 2004). She has written for Bitch\, the Chicago Reader\, In These Times\, The Onion\, The Progressive\, and Chicago Public Radio WBEZ’s radio program 848. She lives in Chicago.

SUMMARY:Free Jazz from the Sanctuary presents: "Sax\, Soup\, Poetry and Voice:" A Multimedia Performance with Nicole Peyrafitte and Joe Giardullo
DESCRIPTION:Multimedia performance artist Nicole Peyrafitte was born in Luchon (French Pyrenees) into the 5th generation of a family of restaurateurs. Since moving to Albany in 1992\, she has dedicated herself to multimedia art work. She considers each step of her work an attempt to fulfill her compulsion to learn through a process of immersion that generates performances incorporating voice/ painting/ videos/ writing and often cooking.

SUMMARY:Author Michael Yates
DESCRIPTION:The road trip is a staple of modern American literature. In Michaels Yates’s Cheap Motels and a Hot Place: An Economist’s Travelogue (monthly review press\, 2006) an economist hits the road\, observing and interpreting the extraordinary range and spectacle of U.S. life\, bringing out its conflicts and contradictions with humor and insight.  \n\n\n\nDisillusioned with academic life and thirty-two years of teaching economics\, Michael Yates took early retirement in 2001 and with his wife Karen traveled around the country\, often spending months at a time on the road. Cheap Motels and a Hot Plate is both an account of their adventures and a penetrating examination of work and inequality\, race and class\, alienation and environmental degradation in the small towns and big cities of the contemporary United States.   \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Troy Labor Council.

SUMMARY:Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival
DESCRIPTION:A Map With Gaps (2006)\, directed by Alice Nelson\, uses a combination of archive audio recordings\, still photographs\, drama reconstruction\, and animation. This surreal and comic tale is an account of a journey made by the director’s father through Soviet Russia in the early 1970s in a van he built and named “Supervan.” Truth can indeed be stranger then fiction\, and sometimes the area between the two is the most interesting place to explore.  \n\n\n\nIn Today’s Man (2006)\, directed by Lizzie Gottlieb\, Nicky Gottlieb is  a young man struggling to leave the comfort and safety of his parents’ home and find his place in the world.  While he can calculate the square root of any number in the blink of an eye\, he has trouble reading the simplest of facial expressions\, making social interaction difficult.  At the age of 21\, he is diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome\, a high-functioning form of autism. This loving portrait by his filmmaker sister is both a personal exploration of one family’s journey and a broader effort to understand this mysterious disorder.  \n\n\n\nPart of iEAR Presents!\, co-sponsored by the Department of the Arts at RPI and funded in part by the Electronic Media and Film Program at the New York State Council on the Arts\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Eye Music Portraits\, 11/15 - 12/15/07
DESCRIPTION:Photographers Andrzej Pilarczyk and Don McKever have specialized in photographing musicians across a broad spectrum of musical styles for several decades. By combining the visual principles of portraiture with a fine-arts aesthetic they have been independently documenting the ongoing evolution of jazz\, blues\, folk\, African and Latin music- genres which are often overlooked and neglected by the mainstream music industry and press. The exhibition will be on view from November 15th through December 15th\, 2007. \n\n\n\nDon McKever has photographed almost every major jazz and blues musician who played over a period of 40 years.  \n\n\n\nAndrzej Pilarczyk has concentrated on photographing live musical events within the Capital Region for more than 20 years.

SUMMARY:"Meeting Resistance" with Filmmakers Molly Bingham and Steve Connors
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Resistance (2007) is set in the streets\, alleyways and ubiquitous teashops of the Adhamiya neighborhood of Baghdad.  It enters the physical and psychological heart of the “insurgency” against the American occupation.  Presented by photojournalist/directors Steve Connors and Molly Bingham\, who spent ten months among the insurgents there to create the exclusive\, unique\, and at once compelling and insightful film about their lives\, motivation\, and goals.  \n\n\n\nMeeting Resistance focuses on eight “insurgents\,” each with his or her own take and reasons for opposing the American-led occupation. All are people who\, within days of the fall of Baghdad\, were arranging themselves into resistance cells\, finding the money and weapons to fight against the American military.  The film witnesses how they began to organize themselves\, reveals why they have decided to violently oppose the occupation of the country\, and hears in their words the underlying ideological foundations to their fight and how and why those have changed over time.  \n\n\n\nThe directors’ unsurpassed access and visually stunning cinematography makes this film a one-of-a-kind; essential viewing for audiences around the world concerned with a deeper understanding of the current situation in Iraq\, and with the human condition of resistance.   \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Women Against War\, Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace\, and the Chatham Peace Initiative.

SUMMARY:"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: A Photographer's Chronicle of the Iraq War" with Photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson
DESCRIPTION:Arriving in Iraq on the eve of the U.S. invasion\, unaffiliated with any newspaper and hoping to pick up assignments along the way\, Ashley Gilbertson was one of the first photojournalists to cover the disintegration of America’s military triumph as looting and score settling convulsed Iraqi cities.  Just twenty-five years old at the time\, Gilbertson soon landed a contract with The New York Times\, and his extraordinary images of life in occupied Iraq and of American troops in action began appearing in the paper regularly.   \n\n\n\nWhiskey Tango Foxtrot (The University of Chicago Press\, 2007) gathers the best of his photographs\, chronicling America’s early battles in Iraq\, the initial occupation of Baghdad\, the insurgency that erupted shortly afterward\, the dramatic battle to over take Fallujah\, and ultimately\, the country’s first national elections.  This wide-ranging treatment of the war from the viewpoint of a photographer is the first of its kind.  In it he grapples with the reality that Iraq – despite the sacrifice in Iraq and American lives – has descended into a civil war with no end in sight.   \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Women Against War and Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace.
