SELECT MEDIA FESTIVAL: REGIME CHANGE FOR US TOUR
http://www.lumpen.com/events/smf/regime.html

Select Media Festival goes to Europe this December, visiting Rotterdam,
Amsterdam and Paris. We are bringing programs that were featured at the
Select Media Festival 2 hosted in Chicago Nov 19-26, 2003. The TV Sheriff
and Trail Buddies as well as Misty Martinez and Douggpound will be
performing live. Agit-prop media from Select and Lumpen magazines, as well
as installations by Save America , Make Out Not War and other surprises will
be presented. We will be screening videos and films that give a glimpse of
dissent by cultural workers from the US and beyond.

The festival highlights "Cultural Interference" and will share an
examination of works by radical cultural activists and experimental video
makers critiquing various coercive forces and systems. Mixing desktop
editing techniques and a good sense of humorthese makers appropriate work,
divert and re-edit it as a way to register their dissent. Described as
tactical mediaticians, culture jammers, troublemakers, media activists and
pranksters, these creators have made works that are some of the best from
the digital video underground.

Our insurgent media festival will be presented on these dates at the
following venues:
