In Ireland the Governemnts usual inaction was unsurprising and the streets of Dublin were logjammed with fume-spewing motor vehicles as always.

Art/Conflict: 2 X Zones is a feature length documentary shot on DV in 2004/2005 in Ireland and The Basque Country. The documentary is based on a multiplicity of interviews conducted over a year long period in Ireland and the Basque country. It takes a look back at these localised conflicts from the perspective of a post September 11th World and explores how fine artists in The Basque Country and Ireland from the late 1960's onwards understood their roles in the midst of situations of ongoing civil conflict. It relates the insights garnered by artists in the midst of two localised conflicts in the late 20th century to the present where terrorism, civil conflict and 'cool war' have along with the market been globalised. The documentary exemplifies the possibilities for low-budget cross cultural documentary filmmaking in an era of cheap and ubuiquotous digital filmaking hardware. Interviewees include Patrick Ireland, Txomin Badiola, Willie Doherty, Shane Cullen and Amanda Dunsmore. Directed and Shot by Aisling Crudden. Edited by Eamonn Crudden. Offline edit by Arnaud Rigaud.

This 25 minute long film was produced very quickly in the immediate aftermath of the riots in Dublin in Febuary 2006 and was only ever to date screened at the anarchist bookfair which took place within a short time of the events depicted. It was basically made by combining a text opinion piece/story about the events with footage uploaded to indymedia ireland in the very immediate aftermath of the riot. I (aaronrip) took the two, voiced one (chekov's text) and cut up the other (kev footage) and within a day or so had an acceptable film. Hope others will try this method of instant filmaking about events in the near future. The generally copyleft nature of material uploaded to Indymedia makes this possible and easy. If you can't/don't want to write 'voiceovers' then steal/channel them. Dedicated to the charming and busy Revolt Video heads ;-) read full story / add a comment
