Aris Chatzistefanou y Katerina Kitidi: CATASTROIKA (2012)

"The documentary uncovers the forthcoming results of the current sell-off of the Greek public assets, demanded in order to face the country's enormous sovereign debt. Turning to the examples of London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow and Rome, CATASTROIKA predicts what will happen, if the model imposed in these areas is imported in a country under international financial tutelage.

Slavoj Zizek, Naomi Klein, Luis Sepulveda, Ken Loach and Greg Palast talk about the austerity measures, the Greek government as well as the attack against Democracy on Europe, after the general spreading of the financial crisis. Academics and specialists like Dani Rodrik, Alex Callinicos, Ben Fine, Costas Douzinas, Dean Baker and Aditya Chakrabortty present unknown aspects of the privatization programs in Greece and abroad."

En este documental vemos algunas de las asambleas y reuniones donde el Subcomandante Marcos y varios Comandantes zapatistas explican esta iniciativa, además de como piensan organizarse y articularse con otras organizaciones anticapitalistas de izquierda de México y el mundo."

Katerina Kitidi y Aris Chatzistefanou: Deudocracia (2011)

"El documental trata sobre la crisis financiera global iniciada en 2008, la crisis económica de Grecia de 2010, el contexto europeo de la Crisis del euro en 2010, los antecedentes en otros países y las posibles soluciones que podrían resolver el problema que no están siendo consideradas por el gobierno del país griego y estarían radicalmente alejadas de las medidas impuestas por la Comunidad Económica Europea, el Fondo Monetario Internacional y el Banco Central Europeo: realización de auditorias sobre la deuda, calificación de la misma -deuda odiosa y deuda externa legal-, responsabilidad en la contratación de créditos, anulación de la deuda, etc."

Michael Rubbo: Waiting for Fidel (1974)

"Inside Fidel Castro's Cuba with a movie-making threesome whose hope is that Fidel himself will star in their film. The filmmakers are Joseph Smallwood, former Newfoundland premier, Geoff Stirling, radio and televison owner, and Michael Rubbo, NFB film director. What happens while this unusual film crew awaits its star shows a good deal of the new Cuba, and also of the three Canadians who chose to film the island."

Jean-Luc Godard: Camera-Eye (1967)

"Documentary essay in which the group of directors have decided to express their support of the (North-)Vietnamese people against the USA. The expressed intent was not to do a documentary on Vietnam but to "open a reflexion on this imperialist war". Each realized a segment, all edited together by Marker to achieve "a collective exposé on the conflict"."

Errol Morris: The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (2003)

"It is the story of America as seen through the eyes of the former Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara. One of the most controversial and influential figures in world politics, he takes us on an insider's view of the seminal events of the 20th Century. Why was this past Century the most destructive and deadly in all of human history? Are we doomed to repeat our mistakes? Are we free to make choices, or are we at the mercy of inexorable historical forces and ideologies?".

Sam Green, Bill Siegel: Weather Underground (2002)


Weather Underground from WUO on Vimeo.

"In 1969, a small group of leftist college student radicals announced their intentions to overthrow the U.S. government in opposition to the Vietnam War. This documentary explores the rise and fall of this radical movement as former members speak candidly about the passion that drove them at the time. The film also explores the group in the context of other social movements of the time, featuring interviews with former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panther Party. The documentary also examines the U.S. government's suppression of dissent during this turbulent era through projects such as COINTELPRO. Using archival footage from the 1960s and 1970s, the film also intersperses recent interviews with high profile ex-Weathermen like Bernardine Dohrn, David Gilbert, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd and Brian Flanagan, who talk about their involvement in the organization, their experiences, and the trajectory that led them to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list."
