Chiapas Support Committee, Liberated Lens Film Collective & Community Foods Market invites you for another night of music and outside films about indigenous resistance in Mexico featuring women fighting for autonomy.
Finally doing the outside screening in collaboration with Chiapas Support Committee that was reschheduled twice due to smokey weather! This Friday! Come masked, temperature and contact tracing info will be taken at the entrance.
We’re doing it again… and again and again! Ride your bike, bring a comfortable seat, wear a mask, join in your car if you need to be super safe. Enjoy locally made documentaries with the filmmakers.
On Friday, September 25th at the Community Foods Market we will be screening Liberated Lens’ most recent production, Follow the Drinking Gourd. As Covid prevented us from premiering the film in the Spring 2020, this will be an outside premiere of this 60 min documentary about the Black food justice movement that connects the legacy of slavery, land loss, and climate change to our fight for food security. Wanda Steward (Obsidian Farms) and Jordan Sanders (Acta Non Verba) will be present for Q&A.
We will be diving into the details of the Canon C100 and Panasonic Af100 professional documentary video cameras. These HD video cameras have many major cinematography features of most professional video cameras while allowing photography lenses to be mounted on the sensor for an amazing depth of field.
Learn how to use these 2 cameras that Liberated Lens has as part of their shared equipment library, plus create a documentary kit with audio, lighting and best accessories.

Liberated Lens Collective & Freeman Sullivan presents a basic course in filming on your phone at a protest and livestreaming. We recommend using FilmoraGo as an easy cross platform free editor on your phone.
Preparation:
During:
www.Witness.org/Resources – great website to learn the basics to protest documentation
www.NoFilmSchool.com – more advanced filmmaking website but search for beginner articles
www.NLG.org/know-your-rights – National Lawyers Guild, know your rights. Don’t talk to the police, let them know you have the right to remain silent and that you don’t consent to a search. Your phone and data is your property and they have no right to it. They gray area begins when you livestream or post videos publicly, then they can subpoena for your footage as evidence in court.
