    SCREENINGS ARE A BENEFIT FOR
    ARGENTINA’S INDEPENDENT MEDIA CENTER
    AND THE WHISPERED MEDIA VIDEO ACTIVIST COLLECTIVE

    Door at 7:30pm.

    “This Swedish muckraker is another must-see”
    Seattle Weekly

    “Surplus is an open declaration of war on terror. We are terrorized into
    being consumers” Adbusters Magazine

    Consumer confidence has been low since September 11. A quick war against
    Iraq was supposed to be the only way to restore that confidence – and our
    happiness. But is shopping our salvation? Do we have a choice?

    Whispered Media is proud to screen SURPLUS: TERRORIZED INTO BEING
    CONSUMERS by Swedish filmmaker Erik Gandini. SURPLUS screens Thursday,
    December 18th and Friday, December 19th at 8pm at Artists Television
    Access in San Francisco.  Proceeds benefit the Argentina Independent Media
    Center and Whispered Media.

    SURPLUS is an intense visual odyssey filmed for over three years in eight
    different countries. From the explosive riot days in Genoa 2001 to

    $7000
    sex dolls in the US, SURPLUS explores the destructive nature of consumer
    culture. Stunning editing and breathtaking cinematography turns the notion
    that 20% of the world is gobbling up 80% of its resources from pure
    statistics into an overwhelming emotional experience.

    The world was shocked when young protesters in Seattle, Genoa and
    Gothenburg attacked shop windows, cars and banks. SURPLUS sets off on a
    world journey seeking the answer to the question: why is the lifestyle of
    consumerism a source of such rage today? Against a familiar backdrop of
    cynical world leaders, corporate captains and Microsoft fanatics, the film
    focuses on the controversial anti-globalization guru John Zerzan, whose
    call for property damage has inspired many to take to the streets.

    Whispered Media offers video witnessing, support and training, collects
    archival political footage, and produces video and audio works about
    specific grassroots and global campaigns and organizations. Whispered
    Media produced the award winning documentaries “The Pie’s the Limit”,
    “Boom: The Sound of Eviction” and the recent collaboration “We Interrupt
    This Empire.”. SURPLUS is the first film to screen in a new, monthly,
    screening series.
