Is there any way we could do an advanced screening and do a bit of a
Media event for Skull Space?

This sounds awesome! If anybody has a good response for him on how to
spread the word, feel free to email him (or I can pass it on).

Subject: [SkullSpace-Admin] Great new film on hackers -  We Are Legion

 

Dear friends: 

 

I wonder if you might be able to help me. I recently saw a terrific new
film called WE ARE LEGION: STORY OF THE HACKTIVISTS in Toronto and I am
going to screen it here at the Cinematheque in early November.

 

I would like to make sure the hacker community is aware of it and
wondered if you had any suggestions on how I can reach that community to
help me promote it in  Winnipeg as well as across Canada. I told the
distributor I would like to help them get bookings across Canada and I
sent them a list of independent theatres who they are going to pitch..
If you have a list of any other hacker organizations in other Canadian
cities that would be valuable as well. 

I am not being paid for this, I just thought it is such a great film I
would love to see it play across the country and wondered if you had any
thoughts on helping me promote it thru the hacker community ? 

 

Here is the synopsis :

 

WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists, takes us inside the complex
culture and history of Anonymous. "We Are Legion" tracks the evolution
of hacktivism from the ludicrous website 4 chan- a mish-mash of memes,
revolting images and heated discussions about Manga- through to the
formation of Anonymous, which builds its backbone from declaring an
international war on Scientology and gains it political purpose from
Wikileaks and the battle for free information on the internet. The film
explores early hacktivist groups like Cult of the Dead Cow and
Electronic Disturbance Theater, and then moves to Anonymous' own raucous
and unruly beginnings on the website 4Chan.Through interviews with
current members - some recently returned from prison, others still
awaiting trial - as well as writers, academics and major players in
various "raids," WE ARE LEGION traces the collective's breathtaking
evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown, global movement, one
armed with new weapons of civil disobedience for an online world.

 

Much thanks for any suggestions
