  • Burma VJ: Monks in Exile Speak About the Saffron Revolution
    Liza Béar
    5:34
    New York, May 8, 2009—Three monks, leaders of the Saffron Revolution and now refugees in the US, openly discuss their participation in the 2007 uprising against the Burmese military junta portrayed in Anders Ostergaard's award-winning film Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country. The monks belong to the All Burma Monks' Alliance, (ABMA) Utica, NY, whose goal is to support the many monks currently being held as political prisoners in Burmese jails, refugee monks who have escaped incarceration and torture, and to promote human rights and democracy in Burma. The film, Burma VJ, has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.. See also the interview with Anders Østergaard and Khin Maung Win on this blog.

  • Hollis Frampton, Critical Mass, 1971. (Excerpt)
    Hollis Frampton
    1971 (8:15)
    "As a work of art I think [Critical Mass] is quite universal and deals with all quarrels (those between men and women, or men and men, or women and women, or children, or war. It is war! . . . It is one of the most delicate and clear statements––human relationships and the difficulties of them––that I have ever seen. It is very funny, and rather obviously so. It is a magic film in that you can enjoy it, with greater appreciation, each time you look at it. Most aesthetic experiences are not enjoyable on the surface. You have to look at them a number of times before you are able to fully enjoy them, but this one stands up at once, and again and again, and is amazingly clear." - Stan Brakhage

  • Interview with filmmaker Mai Iskander of Garbage Dreams.
    9:59
    Garbage Dreams runs at the IFC Center in New York through January 19.
     
    New York, January 6, 2010—Shot over a four-year period, Mai Iskander's Garbage Dreams tracks the lives of three Zaballeen teenagers living in Mokattam, a garbage village on the outskirts of Cairo, at a time when their way of life and means of survival is being threatened.
     
    The city of Cairo, with a population of eighteen million, has no waste disposal system. For over a century, a subculture of rural Coptic Christians from the south of Egypt has been collecting and recycling garbage. They are remarkably efficient , recycling 80 percent of the trash they collect from people's doorsteps. Now Cairo has hired three multinational waste disposal companies from Spain and Italy who are contractually required only to recycle 20 percent of what they collect and landfill the rest. The Zaballeen are therefore competing with technologically better-equipped (but less productive) companies for their raw material. Poignant, entertaining and enlightening,"Garbage Dreams" is both a coming-of-age story and a portrait of a close-knit community. It has won seventeen Best Documentary awards, including Nashville Film Festival's Reel Current award, selected by Al Gore, and has been shortlisted for an Oscar.

  • BURMA VJ: Anders Østergaard, Khin Maung Win Interview
    Liza Béar
    9:58
    BURMA VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country , directed by Danish filmmaker Anders Østergaard uses camcorder and cellphone footage from undercover DVB reporters risking their lives. The story of the brutal quelling of the September 2007 monks' uprising is narrated by an unseen protagonist, Joshua, a twenty-seven-year-old reporter exiled in Thailand. A Sundance and Berlin festival award winner, the film has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
     
    Background—Burma, September 2007: An increase in fuel prices sparks extensive protests by students and activists against the military junta. For the first time, they are joined in the streets of Rangoon by thousands of Buddhist monks (the saffron revolution). While 100,000 people protest a repressive regime that has held the country hostage for over 40 years, foreign news crews are banned and the Internet is shut down. The Democratic Voice of Burma, a collective of 30 underground video journalists (VJs) record these dramatic events on handycams and cellphones and smuggle the footage out of the country, broadcasting it worldwide from Norway via satellite. Risking torture and life imprisonment, the VJs document the brutal clashes by the military and undercover police — themselves becoming the targets of the authorities.
     
    Interview with Anders Østergaard and Khin Maung Win, deputy director of the Democratic Voice of Burma in exile was filmed by Liza Béar and originally posted on www.squaringoff.blip.tv.
