I just got back from the first night of the Visualized Film Festival. Opening night was at the Mercury Cafe. The show went from 7pm-11:30 and included a number of powerful, informative, and engaging documentaries and short works from all over the world. Perhaps my favorite film from the evening was Contraimagen's Oaxaca: El Poder de la Comuna that looked at the 2006 protests in Oaxaca. It's a powerful testimony to the power of people's resistance to an oppressive state, bureaucratic unions, and military/police violence. There are 3 more days of the festival. I hope to see you there!
