Since this is an event that goes over 3 nights, how about a screening of Occupy Love on the first night?

Here's the full film

The process of having a free screening is all laid out on this site http://occupylove.org/screenings/host/

It's currently being shown around the world http://occupylove.org/screenings/

Yes, we tried this last year, had tech problems.

I love it. Sally, what were the tech probs last year?

I was not directly involved enough in tech to remember; the screening was supposed to have happened in a room upstairs, as I remember; perhaps someone who knows details can elaborate?

Seems good, I watched a bit of it. I have limited bandwidth so I did not watch it all. But it seems as long as there is a projector and proper bandwidth ( or better yet already downloaded and saved ) there should not be a problem. Well , other than gremlins, Ofc.

ATge Illuminator and the Overpass Light Brigade are also cool nighttime actions. seems FB direct mess dates are the way to get a hold of some of these occu- groups

Here's another film that we can stream right off Youtube. It's more entertaining and informative. It is a little faster on the get-go than Occupy Love and I could picture it being screened on a big wall in the open air.

Having an evening program dedicated to showing of Occupy Films

Outcome

by Justin Wed 26 Apr 2017 9:09AM

We have a group with a passion for Occupy films & the broader community is buzzing. What night during Nat Gat is free for some night time cinema?

I propose we make one evening at this year's #NatGat dedicated to Occupy film & media with an #OccupyLove showing.

We would then empower a group of bottom liners to build this event & create an outreach strategy which could include sister events before or during NatGat at the local level.

We could also dust off the #EvictionTheater brand for this if you asked #OccupyUnionSq nicely.

What'chya say?

An Occupy film night with screening of Occupy Love & other films?
