This is a discussion forum for discussions around the World Social Forum Process and media. As a videoactivist myselft and also as someone doing scientific research on the role of media in the globalization critical movements, I set up this site as a forum where articles in English and German about the subject can be read and also to inform interested people about the outcome of the investigations I did for the scientific research project I am working on.
Currently though my colleague and me are finishing an interactive DVD project for the global action day of the World Social Forum 2008. The film above is the intro of the 4 hour long film project - made up of clips on local initiatives, groups and movements and also international ones working on the same issues (as e.g. against water privatisation). Many local and some international videoactivist groups and individuals have participated in the project with their clips. We want to thank especially Fokuspuller for the material of the WSF in Manaus, Bamako and Nairobi.
The DVD will be presented at “Roter Salon in der Volksbühne, Rosa Luxemburg Platz, Berlin” on the 26th of January between 3 and 6 pm.
