Ararat (2002) Written & Directed by Atom Egoyan

Category: Misc
Description:
Ararat (2002) Written & Directed by Atom Egoyan Ararat is a 2002 film directed, written, and co-produced by Atom Egoyan based loosely on the Siege of Van during the Armenian Genocide, an event that is denied by the government of Turkey. In addition to exploring the human impact of that specific historical event, the film also examines the nature of truth and its representation through art. A troubled young man (David Alpay) of Armenian descent works as a driver on a Hollywood-style movie about the genocide; the movie is directed by an Armenian filmmaker (Charles Aznavour) working in Canada. The driver is stopped by an elderly customs official while entering the country with unprocessed rolls of film stock, and over a long night of questioning tells the retiring officer (played by Christopher Plummer) the complex history of the conflict. In an overlapping storyline, the young man's mother (Arsinée Khanjian) is an art historian who lectures on the Armenian expressionist artist Arshile Gorky, whose own mother was one of the victims of the slaughter. The film lavishly and deliberately questions the presumptions and implications of storytelling, and Egoyan deliberately skirts the central issue of the disputed genocide in favour of a more personal vision that is both deeply moving and frustratingly complex. Ararat won six Genie Awards, including best picture, screenplay, actress (Khanjian), and with screenings around the world, including Turkey, it has gone a long way in forcing the Turkish government to face up to one of the most horrific crimes of the 20th century.

Workingmans Death (2005) (DVDRip) (QiX)

Category: Documentary
Description:
Synopsis: The toil of the workingman is the fascinating subject for this documentary from Austrian director Michael Glawogger. Taking five groups of workers from five different countries, Glawogger looks at the perils of being a coal miner in the Ukraine, a slaughterhouse worker in Nigeria, a sulfur miner in Indonesia, a ship-breaker in Pakistan, and a steel worker in China. Some of the conditions these men work in will come as a shock to the average office worker, and provides viewers with an important perspective on the harsh treatment meted out to certain factions of the workforce. Austrian director Michael Glawogger divides his documentary into a number of extended vignettes. In Heroes, college graduates can't find work in the desolate post-Soviet period in the Ukraine. So they descend upon abandoned, frigid coal mines. There they imperil their lives squeezing into crumbling tiny crawl spaces, in order to extract bits of coal to sell and eke out a subsistence. The free lance miners are embittered and demoralized, and Glawogger contrasts them with images from the past of optimistic, radiant Soviet coal miner collectives. In the chapter Ghosts, Glawogger moves on to Indonesia, where workers wind their way up and down the surreal, treacherous basin of a volcano under a punishing sun, gathering sulfur in overloaded, creaky bamboo baskets. The plumes of sulfur gas are visually captivating, yet unimaginably disturbing in the unspoken poisonous toll they are simultaneously inflicting on these impoverished workers' lives. Other episodes include the casual carnage of an unsanitary open air livestock slaughterhouse in Nigeria, with blood and entrails flowing unheeded through the city streets. Then in Pakistan, despairing migrant workers engage in the dangerous labor of dismantling gigantic oil carriers, while praying to Allah that they'll survive the task. The documentary concludes at a vast, defunct German steel mill that has been unbelievably transformed into an amusement park, complete with a light show. Meanwhile, young couples seek out remote corners among the rusty former smelting furnaces, to engage in a little sex. While the experience of Workingman's Death is rich in visual material for contemplation or just plain wonder, there is at the same time a gnawing feeling of voyeuristic objectification of these workers. It's as if the leisure class were sitting back and whimsically beholding their house servants sweating away at domestic tasks.

Saturday December 6 in the middle of the incipient protests in Greece, a police officer has killed an accurate shot in the heart of Alex, protester of 15 years ... The police "just" was the one who pulled the trigger, because life is rulers have grabbed the nucleated state with its police, and the infamy of this capitalist world they have created. This very well have understood the revolutionaries in Greece who have felt deeply the pain by the death of this young proletarian. But also have felt the pain of this life which presents us with an image that can not be modified, a humiliating journey through a maze of mirrors with a brick wall and gate. But still wonder ... Why react these facts, something is happening to so many miles from where we try to live? The exploited and oppressed because they have no homeland: patriotism is the ruling class to hide the social antagonism in which we live is dominated as an excuse to split, so that we do not have a class identity.

Spin-Doktoren - Die Marionettenspieler der Macht

Category: Documentary
Description:
Dokumentation, Frankreich / Großbritannien 2004, ARTE F, Erstausstrahlung Regie: Paul Mitchell, Tania Rakhmanova Die zweiteilige Dokumentation nimmt Meinungsforscher, Politikberater und Public-Relations-Spezialisten unter die Lupe. Der erste Teil rollt die Geschichte des Polit-Marketings auf und lässt wichtige Vertreter der Public Relations, unter anderem John Gorman und Charlie Black, zu Wort kommen, die das positive Image im Wahlkampf der späteren US-Präsidenten Jimmy Carter und George Bush sen. maßgeblich bestimmten. "Spin" ist eine Mischung aus Public Relations, Marktforschung, Medienmanipulation und Meinungsforschung. "Spin Doctors" sind Leute, die sich in diesen Bereichen auskennen. Im Schatten von Politikern und Präsidenten wirken sie hinter den Kulissen. Sie analysieren und beeinflussen die öffentliche Meinung, manipulieren die Medien und machen politische Werbung. Sie haben nur ein Ziel: einen bestimmten Politiker an die Macht zu bringen oder dort zu halten. Ihr Beruf kommt ursprünglich aus Amerika, und ihre Art "Fäden zu spinnen" hat auf der ganzen Welt Schule gemacht. Inzwischen sind sie überall im Umfeld von politischen Entscheidungsträgern anzutreffen - von Washington bis Tokio, von London bis Santiago, von Berlin bis Paris. Teil 1: Von Medien, Marktforschern und Meinungsmachern: über die jüngste Geschichte des Polit-Marketings. Der erste Teil der Dokumentation schildert das Aufkommen und die Entwicklung der "Spin Doctors" vor dem Hintergrund der amerikanischen und europäischen Geschichte. Der erste bekannte "Spin Doctor" war Edward Bernay, ein Neffe Sigmund Freuds. Er interessierte sich für massenpsychologische Erscheinungen und entwickelte in den 20er Jahren das, was heute unter dem Begriff Public Relations bekannt ist. Aber erst Ende der 60er Jahre erfährt das Polit-Marketing in den USA mit der Verbreitung des Fernsehens seinen Aufschwung. Zunächst mit John F. Kennedy, der, von Joe Napolitan beraten, Richard Nixon bei einem Fernsehduell schlug. Dann mit Lyndon B. Johnson, der seinen Konkurrenten Barry Goldwater dank der Erfindung der Negativ-Werbung im Jahr 1964 mit einem nur wenige Sekunden dauernden Spot des talentierten Tony Schwarz besiegte. Der Film stützt sich auf die Aussagen der wichtigsten Beteiligten und zeigt die ständigen Verbesserungen der Berechnungsverfahren, der Umfragetechniken und die zunehmende Bedeutung der Medien, die den Politikern neue Perspektiven bieten. Der Erfinder der politischen Meinungsumfragen, John Gorman, erzählt, wie seine Umfragen den Nobody Jimmy Carter ins Weiße Haus gebracht haben. Aber auch wie sein Partner Pat Caddell falsche Daten lieferte, die Jimmy Carter zu einer Rede veranlassten, die seine Präsidentschaft ruinierte. Der Polit-Berater Charlie Black beschreibt, wie es Beratern von George Bush sen. mit gemeinen Tricks gelang, das Image des aufrichtigen Michael Dukakis kaputt zu machen. Und am Beispiel der französischen Präsidentschaftswahlen 1974 zeigt der Film, wie die PR-Beratung in der Politik schon damals auch in Europa Fuß fasste.

Seit den 80er Jahren verfügen die Spin-Doktoren über großen Einfluss. Mehrere Länder begriffen schnell, wie wichtig diese PR-Manager sein können. Zum Beispiel Frankreich: Der französische PR-Berater Jean-Luc Aubert spricht über seine Arbeit in der geheimen Polit-Marketing-Abteilung von François Mitterrand. Lord Bell, der berühmte britische PR-Berater, erzählt von den vertraulichen Gesprächen mit Jacques Chirac beim Präsidentschaftswahlkampf 1988 und der PR-Spezialist Jacques Séguéla erklärt, warum Lionel Jospin bei den Wahlen im Jahr 2002 scheiterte. Auch in Großbritannien werden die Anweisungen der Spin-Doktoren ganz genau befolgt - auch wenn sie im Widerspruch zum Parteiprogramm stehen. Tony Blair hat ihnen - inzwischen zum dritten Mal - seinen Erfolg zu verdanken. Dabei ist es unerheblich, dass die New-Labour-Bewegung nicht wenige Anleihen bei den Konservativen machte. Genauso handelt Gerhard Schröder in Deutschland. Bodo Hombach, Wahlkampfberater des deutschen Kanzlers, schildert im Detail, wie er die SPD davon überzeugt hat, eine Negativ-Kampagne gegen den populären Helmut Kohl zu fahren. Und auch in Russland ging der unglaubliche Erfolg von Boris Jelzin bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen 1996 auf PR-Unternehmungen zurück. Wenige Monate vor der Wahl gaben bei Umfragen lediglich vier Prozent der Befragten an, Jelzin wählen zu wollen. Seine PR-Berater erzählen, mit welchen Tricks, Manipulationen und Falschinformationen es gelang, Jelzin im Kremlin zu halten - trotz einer Herzattacke mitten im Wahlkampf. Das Aufkommen der Nachrichtensender zu Beginn der 90er Jahre in den USA stellte für die Spin-Doktoren eine neue Herausforderung dar. Es galt nunmehr, die Sender rund um die Uhr mit Informationen zu versorgen. Clintons Berater Joe Lockhart erfindet die politische Öffentlichkeitsarbeit neu. Statt die Fragen von Journalisten zu beantworten, gibt man Themen vor. Wenn die entsprechend vorbereitenden Informationen dann sofort weitergegeben werden, wird eine echte Geschichte daraus. Kennt die Macht der Spin-Doktoren keine Grenzen? Angesichts der Affäre um die Massenvernichtungswaffen im Irak ist diese Frage berechtigt. Doch diese große Lüge wird zum Ausgangspunkt einer breiten Gegenbewegung, der sich die PR-Berater der Demokratischen Partei sofort annehmen. - The spin must go on!

The shadow government of assassins, arms dealers, drug smugglers, former CIA operatives and top US military personnel who were running foreign policy unaccountable to the public, revealing the Reagan/Bush administration's plan to use FEMA to institute martial law and ultimately suspend the Constitution. Strikingly relevant to current events. EP generated unprecedented distribution success with Coverup, using contacts developed during distribution of EP's first two films, Destination Nicaragua and Viva La Paz.

It is the only film that puts the entire Iran Contra affair into a meaningful political and historical context. The 1988 film is updated with information from recent court cases and events, reconfirming much of the material presented. Coverup won the American Film & Video Association, Blue Ribbon Award for Best Documentary. Social Issues;National Education Film & Video Festival, Crystal Apple for Best Documentary, Social & Political Issues; Golden HugoBest Independent Video, Chicago International Film Festival; the Prix Du Public for Best Documentary.
