Last Four Watched. Still bummed I missed The Mastermind at
#NYFF63
due to a late plane, messy JFK, Tunnel to Towers traffic, etc. I always miss Kelly Reichardt if she's in my vicinity. Fine set of films overall, but WTO/99 knocked me out in ways I didn't expect--and I was there.

(Honestly, after this week, this is one of those rare times you get to watch a movie like WTO/99 and *not* feel bummed out after, believe me when I say it'll only make you more empowered to do more cool stuff.)

Daring documentary WTO/99 wants you to rethink how we talk about protests
For a lot of millennials, the World Trade Center 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 act...

VIFF describes WTO/99 as "An immersive experience exposing the myopic machinations of politicians and corporate interests in the face of democratic, nonviolent protests, it’s also breathtakingly prescient; a preview of present-day American politics, injustice, and the consolidation of power."

Many of you still don't get how these Gaza fundraisers came about & that they are more about you than about Palestinians in Gaza. I keep explaining this in every podcast I've been on lately...but let me write a thread as well: These fundraisers exist to snuff out your relationship with Palestinians

For almost a decade I’ve used Frank Stallone and his replies as a barometer for a certain kind of lunkheaded M*GA type, and it has genuinely been very helpful re: talking points/belief trends among that group. Now he’s just outright reposting this shit. Cool.

Thank you deadCenter Film Festival for this jury recognition for editing for WTO/99! Whittling down 1,000 hours of archival footage of the precursor to our current descent into militarized state fascism was an insane endeavor, but it was worth it to bring the story to a new, broader audience.
