Freedom of Expression® screening at NYU, 9PM


Siva sez, "In cooperation with the Media Education Foundation and La Lutta, Free Culture @ NYU is screening Freedom of Expression®: Resistance and Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property at 9pm on Thursday, January 31. Narrated by Naomi Klein, the film features interviews with Stanford Law's Lawrence Lessig, Illegal Art Show curator Carrie McLaren, Negativland’s Mark Hosler, UVA media scholar Siva Vaidhyanathan, and Free Culture @ NYU co-founder Inga Chernyak, among many others. This 53-minute documentary will be preceded by selections from Negativland’s new DVD, Our Favorite Things, and it will be followed by a Q&A with Freedom of Expression® author and director Kembrew McLeod and co-producer Jeremy Smith."

I hope this documentary, as well as Negativland's DVD, will be available for free on Google Video and reasonable facsimiles.

For those not familiar with Negativland, check out their website or this interview on Off The Hook (hosted by Emmanual Goldstein of 2600 Hacker Quarterly Magazine).
