Intermundos is a collaborative whose intent is to create cultural bridges between Colombian and western youth. Our intent with this documentary was to make an initial product that would help promote the Colombian hiphop movement in the United States. Colombia has been at war for 40 years. In recent years violence has incremented, largely due to the United States involvement in this country's politics. Colombia has been completely isolated communication-wise from the rest of the world through what I call an information blockade. The only information that does filter threw is largely erroneous. In Colombia two and a half million people have lost there homes due to violence. Indigenous leaders are consistently being killed by right winged paramilitaries and loosing their territory which leads to the disintegration of their culture. Colombia is continuously being fumigated with herbicides by US companies, even thought it has been proven that fumigation in no way lowers the amount of illegal crop being grown. Today new companies are trying to obtain the Colombian government's consent to fumigate Fusarium, a genetically engineered fungus which has never been tested in the wild. Colombia is the worlds second most bio diverse country. It still has 64different indigenous groups. If the raging war against drugs continues to tear up this country, a huge patrimony for humanity will be lost insofar as natural resources and millinery indigenous knowledge. Hiphop is the new universally understood language of the youth of the ghettos worldwide. By bringing the Colombian hiphop movement out of its isolation and incorporating it within its international community, we are creating a bridge whereby unedited information will be exchanged, thus fomenting a new understanding of Colombia's situation. -vannessa of Intermundos For further information please contact Vanessa at intermundos@yahoo.com. 10:40 pm: Crowd Bites Wolf Crowd Bites Wolf - Prague Video Excellent video from the demonstrations against the World Bank and the IMF in Prague in September 2000.

Shawn Nelson, an unemployed suburban plumber, stole an army tank and careened through the streets of Clairemont. Thirty minutes later, with the tank stuck on a meridian, police climbed on top of the vehicle and shot Nelson. Cul de Sac: A Suburban War Story, is a poignant documentary that digs beneath the surface of media reports about Shawn Nelson. Writer director Garrett Scott looks at the incident in the context of the decline of the suburban ideal and the ramifications for social interaction when a boom economy flatlines. Interviews with Nelson's friends and family and archival footage of San Diego's deteriorating military industry powerfully contribute to Scott's investigation of the personal and social climate behind this seemingly random act of violence. The 2002 Toronto International Film Festival calls it "a fascinating chronicle of downward mobility, a bleak spiral of cause and effect." 7pm Japanese commercials we like from IDN PRO sampling of award winning commercial work form Japan, culled from IDN 8PM - 8PM Kraniak Dinner Sampler aprox 45 min A surreal adventure in video segments with our new friends from other space.
