GLOBAL
INSIGHTS 4 - BACKGROUND INFO
Whether
it's independent media collectives pulling together footage from
30 camcorders at a giant action against the World Bank, a protester
filming her comrade destroy the control room of a military helicopter,
or media satirists creating 'anti-ads' to send up the corporate
media's banality and bias, Global Insights has showcased the best
of activist video from around the world for the last four years.
Since GLOBAL INSIGHTS 3, the world has seen an amazing explosion
of new media activism - as well as the growing interest from mainstream
television outlets in this kind of material: is it an attempt to
reinvigorate a sterile and artificial tv culture, or just because
it's cheap to purchase?
Just file it under 'reality tv'...
Meanwhile GLOBAL INSIGHTS remains a grass-roots means of screening
and distributing this kind of material. In this year's Global Insights:
€ the growth of the global protest movement (including footage from
Quebec, Prague, Genoa and Gothenburg)
€ alternative media's take on the events in New York on September
11 and the subsequent "war on terrorism" including a
look into US complicity in funding terrorism and the
possibilities of a peaceful solution
€ the 'no borders' refugee movement and border actions in Europe
€ media satire and much more...
Global Insights is a 100% volunteer production of SKA TV - made
by dedicated activists and media mischief makers.
