Bad Reception: The Wireless Revolution in San Francisco Friday, June 13th, 2003 8:00pm-9:30pm $5
----> Event Description <---- Following a well-attended premiere screening before an enthusiastic crowd in January 2003, Artists' Television Access is once again presenting "Bad Reception: the Wireless Revolution in San Francisco" - a vital chronicle of San Francisco community resistance to the telecom industry. FRIDAY, JUNE 13TH, 8 PM - $5 Artists Television Access 992 Valencia Street - San Francisco Discussion with the producers and invited guests follows. The dot-com era in San Francisco provoked responses from the activist community over live-work lofts, illegal evictions, and the displacement of working people and artists from their traditional communities. Less widely reported was the response by ordinary residents to another by-product of this technological revolution - the proliferation of wireless antennas to feed the booming use of cell phones throughout the city. Spurred by credible but often suppressed scientific research, San Francisco residents formed the San Francisco Neighborhood Antenna-Free Union (SNAFU) to resist the placement of potentially hazardous wireless antennas near their homes, schools and health care centers. This conceptually fascinating one-hour documentary follows SNAFU as a growing number of grassroots volunteers take on one of the most powerful corporate entities in the world. Providing insight into similar struggles throughout the United States and across the globe makes "Bad Reception: the Wireless Revolution in San Francisco" a timely and uplifting look at the local face of an international movement to safeguard individual freedom, personal choice and the safety of our health and environment. "Bad Reception: the Wireless Revolution in San Francisco" produced and directed by Doug Loranger co-produced by Gordon Winiemko 2003 - approx. 1 hour ----> Venue Info <---- Artists' Television Access 992 Valencia Street (between 20th & 21st Street) San Francisco 415-824-3890 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atasite.org -end- -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
