"THE
CLENCHED FIST" Boxset Special
Other Cinema launches a digital volley of FIVE sociopolitical
incendiaries for the young and the restless, for a special price
of only $75!
FEATURING:
1. Johan Grimonprez' "dial
H-I-S-T-O-R-Y"
Buckle up
for the acclaimed hijacking documentary that eerily foreshadowed
9/11. Meet the romantic skyjackers who fought their revolutions
on the passenger planes of the 60s and 70s. Award-winning artist
Grimonprez investigates the politics behind this phenomenon, at
the same time unwrapping our own complicity in the urge for ultimate
disaster.
2.
Sam Green's "The Rainbow Man"
(w/ "The Fabulous Stains" & "Pie Fight '69")
The breakthrough
documentary by Academy Award nominee Sam Green (THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND)
on the erstwhile media sensation and fugitive from the law, Rollen
Frederic Stewart, a.k.a. "Rainbow Man." ALSO
includes "The Fabulous Stains", an inside look on the
production of this lost punk-rock oddity, AND "Pie Fight
'69" which details the pastry-throwing prank at the SF Int'l
Film Fest.
3.
Greta Snider and Vanessa Renwick's "Nomads
and No-Zones"
An album of
radical diaries and personal documentaries from two of the West's
bravest makers. Gritty glimpses of edgy experience in marginalized
cultures, their authentic film stories afford rare access and
insight into the lived poetry of a dozen-plus autonomous zones,
from Portland, Oregon to Britton, South Dakota.
4.
Lutz Dammbeck's "The Net"
This sublime
treatise on terror and technology explores the incredibly complex
backstory of Ted Kaczynski, the infamous Unabomber. Circling through
themes of utopianism, anarchism, terrorism, CIA, LSD, Tim Leary,
Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, THE NET exposes a hidden matrix
of revolutionary advances, coincidences, and conspiracies. Includes
interviews with digerati Stewart Brand, Paul Garrin, and John
Brockman.
5.Craig
Baldwin's "Sonic Outlaws"
An energized
discourse on copyright infringement, fair use, and culture-jamming,
stemming from the infamous Negativland-U2 case. Playful and ironic,
Baldwin's cut-and-paste collage-essay surveys the prospects for
an "electronic folk culture" in the midst of an increasingly
commodified corporate mediascape.*
*If
you already own "Sonic Outlaws", we can substitute that
title with another Craig Baldwin film such as "Tribulation
99" or "Spectres of the
Spectrum". Just consult the bottom our Yahoo order
page for details.
The extraordinary offer of these five radical documentaries is
available for a LIMITED TIME ONLY —
the
long, hot summer from Mayday, through Independence Day, and up
to Labor Day (May 1 - September 3) — and comes complete
with collectible editing glove, signed by Sam Green or Craig Baldwin.
