As a part of the
Freewaves Media Festival: TV or Not TV, the
LA IMC is hosting a video screening this Thursday November 7th at 7:30pm.
The LA IMC screening takes place at C-Level, a media lab in Chinatown. The show will feature the LA IMC's cable access TV show. Other recent activist video will also be screened.
Freewaves is an interesting event, a monthlong media festival that highlights alternative media distribution strategies and producers including (but not limited to) Sound and Fury, a collection of labor and activist films from mostly Asian American film-makers; State of Crisis, contemporary Argentinian video; and Mr. Tamale and Ultra Red, a collaboration between Los Jornaleros and Ultra-Red audio collective. The schedule is amazing. Check it out.
Also this weekend is LadyFest at the Downtown Pallace Theatre. Besides being a cultural happening, the Fest is a benefit for the East LA Women's Center. Bands scheduled to play include Radio Vago, Black Cat Mafia and Patsy, and old school LA punk luminaries like Texas Terri and Exene Cervenka.
