I think Frameworkers around the globe may have heard about the deeply disturbing police violence in the United States. This chronic problem has decades of history, but it received renewed media attention this summer following another murder-by-police in Ferguson, Missouri. This weekend is a "Weekend of Resistance." Because of the timeliness of the issue, I hope Frameworkers won't mind my forwarding this message from Travis Wilkerson with an amazing vimeo link.
---- NOW! AGAIN! is a reenactment of a classic radical film, "Now" by Santiago Alvarez, staged this summer in Ferguson, Missouri by the cops themselves. Playing themselves, the cops reenact their own vicious history as if they were checking their performance in a mirror shattered by gunfire. NOW! AGAIN! blows up at the intersection of an avant-garde film act and an urgent manifesto for militant action, demanding an end to police violence NOW! https://vimeo.com/107885092 Jonathan M Hall Assistant Professor Department of Media Studies Pomona College 140 West Sixth Street Claremont CA 91711-6335 USA 1-909-607-2214 (office) 1-909-621-8296 (fax) http://mediastudies.pomona.edu/people/jonathan-m-hall/
