Vanishing Point, a classic anti-authoritarian cult film

Sunday June 17th, 8pm VANISHING POINT,
a classic anti-authoritarian cult film
high-definition screening
screened by guest programmer Jeffrey Babcock

VANISHING POINT (1971)
Directed by Richard Sarafian
105 minutes
In English

Since law-abiding conformity seems to be running rampant these days, I think its time to re-screen this rebellious one-of-a-kind ultra-cult classic! Art film and exploitation road movie come together in Vanishing Point, an existential car chase film that races across the desert in a post- Easy Rider America. Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, a drug dealer who bets that he can drive his Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. He then loads up on amphetamines and begins his full-throttle journey through the American desert, picking up the wrath of the cops who are trying to stop him. When a hip black DJ (Cleavon Little) learns about Kowalski’s odyssey, he turns the driver into a folk hero on his radio broadcasts, declaring him the “last free Man on Earth“. The amazing car chases and excellent stunt work are set against the American west, beautifully captured by cinematographer John A. Alonzo. Vanishing Point is most assuredly a product of its time, the heady, anything-goes era of rebellion in the early 1970s.
And maybe you know already, but this is the wonderful film that Tarantino rants on about in his film Deathproof. […Lees verder]

Benefiet for political prisoner 1st of May in Montevideo

montevideo

montevideoThursday June 14th 2012, 19pm Benefiet Voku for political prisoner in Montevideo (Uruguay). Anarchistische kameraad in de gevangenis voor confrontaties met stakingsbrekers op de eerste mei. Wat de staat bestraft is niet enkel de actie zelf. Wat bestraft wordt is het niet rustig en zwijgzaam blijven, de weigering het hoofd buigen of de andere kant opkijken, het niet passief blijven in deze wereld van uitbuiting.

Tegelijkertijd fungeert het als een lesje voor iedereen die weigert de levensvoorwaarden die de machtigen en de uitbuiters ons hebben opgelegd te aanvaarden. Het fungeert als een lesje voor ons, die pretenderen te breken met deze manier van leven. Wat ze willen is angst creëren. David is een anarchistische kameraad die al meer dan 15 jaar tussen ons strijdt, vanaf het oude anarcho-punk verzet in zijn tienerjaren, tot de gelederen van het Sindicato Unico del Automovil con Taximetros y Telefonistas (SUATT, Enig Syndicaat voor Taxi en Telefoon) en verschillende anarchistische collectieven.
