Okupa! - Rough Cut 1.2
Since video.indymedia.org is down for a while and has been down for a while, I decided to go ahead and mirror the film okupa, made by myself and The Platform, on the borderlands Hacklab server. So, here it is. Feel free to download it and screen it. I'm probably going to work on it more and finish it up, but its pretty far along now.

Here's the description of the film...
This is an early, rough cut of this film. I'm not sure what direction I want to go with this and am looking for feedback.
Okupa investigates Deleuze's figure of the urban nomad, engaging in war with the state through the creation of smooth spaces. The video shows the activities and struggles of 4 occupied social centers or squats: Dezguace, Seco and Labo 03 all in Madrid and Casa de Iniciativas 1.5 in Málaga. The film shows the hacklabs, theater productions and workshops that are the daily activity of the social centers as well as the struggles against eviction. The film includes interviews with Estrecho Indymedia about work done for Freedom of Movement between Africa and Spain, as well as footage of the Spain/Africa border.
The video is a rough cut, and as such has small editing glitches. Also, it is partially subtitled, but not contiguously subtited, so if you don't speak spanish and the subtitles stop, skip ahead to the next section of the film.
