StreetLevel TV: Episode 16

Still haven’t seen StreetLevel TV yet? Now is your sweet 16th chance, don’t miss it! This month, StreetLevel TV brings you a cool breeze of independent news and information in these sweltering days of August. Okay, it’s the Bay Area and its rather chilly in August. But, these segments will make it seem hot anyways…

Sunny Angulo brings you the news from around your neighborhood and around the world. This month, we shot the newsdesk on location at Oakland’s Jack London Square. Lookout for a special glimpse of the hot G8 footage that everyone’s been talking about.

Luxomedia brings us a fabulous musical montage of Pride 2005.
Also, from Luxomedia is a report from the Biodiesel car show and information from the Berkeley Biodiesel Collective.

A. Mark Liiv brings us an update on the federal Grand Jury happening in the Bay Area, for which ten local activists have been subpoened.

Kent Howie and A. Mark Liiv report from the Mission Market. Their footage explores the up-side of capitalism, including unbelievable deals and really bad music.

We are proud to present another kickass segment from D.A.M.N, a youth media group from NYC. This month, D.A.M.N. reports on the consequences of the fashion industry on young people.

peace activists vs. Israeli Tank, 2002 by Larissa Sansour
Peace Activists vs. Israeli Tank has the struggle on the ground as its main focus. The piece is a six minute long video clip showing a group of peace activists trying to hinder the progress of an Israeli tank in the occupied territories.’
The footage is kept raw and unedited accompanied by monotonous electronic music. Aside from this dramatic stand-off Peace Activists vs. Israeli Tank gets its strenght from its recontextualization of what we normally understand as news footage. The venue, the display, the soundtrack and the sheer duration of the piece all play a part in concoeting a drama unlike anything we’ve ever seen on television. time 6.00 min
