For Life Against the War... Again

US, 2006, digital video, color, 75 min.

Forty years ago, a group of artists envisioned "Week of the Angry Arts," a festival organized in protest of the escalation of the Vietnam War. Filmmakers such as Robert Frank, Shirley Clarke, Carolee Schneemann, and Jonas Mekas contributed to this collective outcry against violence, each creating a short film in the name of peace. In a similar spirit, contemporary filmmakers were recently asked to shoot up to three minutes of video in opposition to the War in Iraq. Organized by the Filmmakers Cooperative and curated by filmmaker Lynn Sachs, participants include Ken Jacobs, Barbara Hammer, MM Serra, Jeff Silva, Alfred Guzzetti, Lynne Sachs, and Bill Morrison.
