Vera is the coolest and it’s insane that her brilliant film was once only available to watch via secret screenings at brave film festivals and now is out there for free on Tubi!

There’s a documentary screening at The Art House in Eugene on Jan 16, 17, 21 & 22 called WTO/99 about the 1999 Seattle WTO protests. Many don’t remember or know about this protest. It’s important that we do. After all, they are STILL using the same tactics.

In the 90s if you wrote a thesis on how Mayor Paul Schell mismanaged every component of the WTO riot response you'd just get a pissy letter from Paul Schell and a high five from your English teacher (Mr. Echtle, you were rad) Now you get earmarked for ICE detention

There's a new doc called WTO/99 that really opened my eyes to how much of this started in Seattle. It was so horrifying at the time, business as usual from the cops now

My 9th grade English teacher called it after the 1980 election. She was anything but alone. This has been a long time coming and don’t delude yourself that Trump is the reason.

The multiple angles thing is what was really striking about WTO/99, a doc about the 1999 WTO protests, which happened right when we really started to be able to have a lot of citizen footage shot right on the ground. Recommend everyone watch it.

Saw The Turin Horse at NYFF with Bela Tarr Q&A. Audience member asks "Why is this your final film?." Tarr stares at her for a bit, turns around to look at the movie screen, then turns back to her and shouts "What the fuck is there left to say!?" RIP to one of the greatest.

Daring documentary WTO/99 wants you to rethink how we talk about protests
For a lot of millennials, the World Trade Organization protests of 1999, also called “The Battle of Seattle” are, if we think about them at all, a footnote in the history of U.S. collective action.

WTO/99 Is a Documentary We Need To See Right Away
Despite being composed entirely of news/found/archival footage (no talking heads, no voice over), the documentary WTO/99 nevertheless has the aspect of a dream.

I get that we’re going to be accused with going with the “homer” pick, however, WTO/99 is one of the best - and most essential - films of the year. This is a worthy selection. Check it out when you can.

, who recently received a best editing nomination from the IDA (International Documentary Association). Once you see WTO/99, if you haven't already, you'll see why. (Props to my pal, Adam Sekuler, too, for Suburban Fury.)

Not sure how to convey how stunned Ian Bell and I are for being nominated by the IDA for their Best Editing award. I do not recommend trying to whittle down roughly 1,000 hours of archival footage into something coherent, but obliterating our brains was totally worth it in this specific case.
