Behind The Flag This provocative film offers a perspective largely absent from the mainstream media reports on the Gulf War and questions whether war was the best alternative response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. From a pacifist point of view, the US sacrificed domestic needs for a militaristic policy flaunting our high-tech to the world. Tags: BAVC Bay Area Video Coalition |

Brother Outsider - The Life Of Bayard Rustin A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement, and helped mold Martin Luther King, Jr. into an international symbol of peace and nonviolence. Despite these achievements, Rustin was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. Five years in the making and the winner of numerous awards, BROTHER OUTSIDER presents a feature-length documentary portrait, focusing on Rustin's activism for peace, racial equality, economic justice and human rights.

Burning Man The Burning Man of today evolved originally from an annual art party hosted by Mary Grauberger. Taking place on or around the summer solstice on San Francisco's Baker Beach prior to 1986, the art parties had sculpture burning as a central theme. Then in 1986 Larry Harvey, inspired in part by Mary Grauberger's events, asked his friend Jerry James to help him build an 8' effigy to be burned on Baker beach. This event, unnamed at this point, continued annually until 1990 when, the effigy having grown to 40', the police pulled the plug on the parties climactic burn. Meanwhile, Kevin Evans and John Law, of the Cacophony Society, were planning a similar event called Zone Trip #4 - A Bad Day at Black Rock in Nevada's Black Rock Dessert. Harvey and friends, having nowhere to burn the 40' effigy, joined forces with the Zone Trip #4 group and this was the birth of what we now know as Burning Man. The following clip contains footage of an earlier burn at Baker Beach and also the first burn to take place on the Playa. Tags: BAVC Bay Area Video Coalition |

The Weather Underground In 1969, a small group of college students announced their intentions to overthrow the U.S. government in opposition to the Vietnam War. This documentary explores the rise and fall of this radical movement as former members speak candidly about the passion that drove them at the time. The film also explores the group in the context of other social movements of the time, featuring interviews with former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panther Party. The documentary also examines the U.S. government's suppression of dissent during this turbulent era. Using archival footage from the 1960s and 1970s, the film also intersperses recent interviews with high profile ex-Weathermen like Bernardine Dohrn, David Gilbert, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd and Brian Flanagan, who talk about their involvement in the organization, their experiences, and the trajectory that led them to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list.

Eldridge Cleaver And Timothy Leary In Algeria Eldridge Cleaver was a Presidential candidate in 1968 on the ticket of the Peace and Freedom Party. That very year, he was injured in a confrontation between the Panthers and Oakland police. Charged with attempted murder, he jumped bail to flee to Algeria, where he was later joined by Timothy Leary who was also a fugitive having escaped from a low security prison where he was serving a ten year sentence for possession of two marijuana roaches. While in Algeria Cleaver placed Leary and his wife under "revolutionary arrest" (kidnapped) as a counter-revolutionary. But as you will see in this rare clip from an hour long video, the two seem to be on good terms, though they do disagree on a few key points. The Learys were later released from custody and left Algeria. Tags: BAVC Bay Area Video Coalition |

Alcatraz Is Not An Island In 1969 a group of Native American students and urban Indians began the occupation of Alcatraz island in the San Francisco bay. Eventually joined by thousands of Native Americans, they reclaimed "Indian Land" for the first time since the 1880's, forever changing the way Native Americans viewed themselves, their culture and their sovereign rights. This occupation paved the way for a number of changes in U.S. policy with regards to Native Americans. Tags: BAVC Bay Area Video Coalition |
