The theme of the year-long campaign marking the 60th Anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights informs our six-week evening course this term. With a range of titles covering aspects of human rights, the Anniversary is an ideal opportunity for us to engage with filmmakers and human rights practitioners on the significance of this genre of filmmaking.

Our course will feature six documentaries, previously unscreened in Ireland. Each evening, a special guest from the world of film or human rights will speak on the film and their own work. The course will be of interest to IFI members and friends, film enthusiasts, human rights workers and all who are interested in challenging and provocative cinema.

With the prospect of financial meltdown across the world , the crisis in American ruling circles over how to grab Iranian oil supplies takes on new urgency . John Bolton , neo-con ex US ambassador to the United Nations , writes in today's New York Daily News on the choices an incoming US president will face - either “regime through support of the widespread discontent across Iran with the mullahs” , or “ the targeted use of force against Iran's nuclear program."

At this stage its unsurprising in the least to read Royal Dutch Shell propoganda being presented as "journalism" by the Irish Independent and its stable mate, the Sunday Indo. Most readers of this site will be only too aware that the paper's owner 'Sir' Tony O Reilly has a very practical and profitable interest in the vast amounts of oil and gas of the West coast of Ireland.

However even by the hack standards of journalism, and right wing opinions, that grace the paper, yesterdays piece by Maeve Sheehan suggest not just the usual biased and unnuaced 'presentation of facts' but has an almost willful ignorance of the facts on the ground.
