Posted on: September 27th, 2008 Hollywould Festival

FREEWAVES (FOUNDED 1989)
the always thought provoking media arts organization
is centering its 11th biennial festival around/in/about Hollywood.
Entitled “HOLLYWOULD…” the festival will fuse media arts and Hollywood Boulevard,
spanning 5 days, from Thu., Oct. 9 – Mon., Oct. 13.
IT WILL:
_ Showcase 160 experimental videos, films and media art from around the world
_ Transform the world-famous boulevard into a massive, multi-faceted screening room
_ Enlighten & entertain with special events, screenings, and site-specific happenings at over
40 venues such as: LACE, American Cinematheque’s Egyptian Theatre, poolside at the
Roosevelt Hotel, the Musicians Institute, King King, the Knitting Factory, and such Hollywood
staples as an erotic supply store, a hookah lounge, jewelry stores and a tattoo parlor. And of
course portals connected to the festival’s unique web-based content.
“HOLLYWOULD…” is a playful and evocative turn both as an international symbol of the American entertainment
industry and as a Los Angeles neighborhood very much in flux. Most events are free unless otherwise noted.
www.freewaves.org will come alive as October approaches.
Over 40 physical venues and locations along seven blocks of Hollywood Boulevard will participate in
“Hollywould,” from the Knitting Factory at N. Sycamore Avenue to the west (one block east of La Brea) all the
way to Kung Pao Kitty at Wilcox Avenue to the east (one block west of Cahuenga). Visit Freewaves’ office inside
LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) at 6522 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028 where patrons
will find ongoing video installations and pick up festival program guides during “Hollywould.” For more information please visit www.freewaves.org.

Posted on: September 27th, 2008 Resist – Redefining the rebel spirit for our times

Economic Apartheid is the dominant system. The Green Zone is fast becoming a global state of mind. Instability is the new norm. Walls are built from suburbia to borders, to protect those in power from the chaos they themselves have caused, to keep the displaced and the poor away.

This film begins where others have given up.

Gael Garcia Bernal scales the walls to learn from those who refuse to accept the way the world is, who are fighting for a very different vision of the future and whose very existence relies on resistance. These are the people whose actions are redefining the social issues of our time.

What happens to the man who embarks on a journey to redefine the meaning of existence for himself?

Resist – Redefining the rebel spirit for our times.
