CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR NOVEMBER
|
| In September Climate Strikes were shutting down banks and business as usual across the world, in San Francisco 5 major banks were forcibly closed for the day as people blocked the streets in the financial district, played music, shared food, painted murals and talked about how this system of greed needs to end… and Liberated Lens was there in full force!
We are excited to share some upcoming screenings of the rad work we do and invite you into our filmmaking community where we share resources and knowledge to empower people powered media. |
| In October we partnered with BAYCAT to host a half day workshop series on Documentary Interviewing. We packed the room with new and seasoned filmmakers from the area and taught lighting, audio, camera, producing and directing a professional documentary interview. Participants cycled through the zones where instructors gave hands on lessons with affordable gear that we have right here in our Liberated Lens studio. This was a major success and great event to network and meet like minded media makers. We were all so inspired that we are going to continue to give accessible skill sharing workshops every month! |

The Commons is a documentary film about communities re-asserting sustainable futures using consensus, equity and shared resources – ancient Commons principles. The film shares the increasing privatization and destruction of commons, primarily in the United States, and shows how many activists are re-taking commons, re-establishing communities controlling their own commons: maker spaces, land trusts, cooperatives, local food production and distribution, shared housing, free education, community centers – all as Commoners stewarding what they share.

 Join us Sunday November 10th at 2pm in the basement of the Omni Commons with members of Liberated Lens and other filmmakers as we get the creative juices flowing and share story ideas and help develop each other’s projects into something robust that we can collaborate on. |
| November 17th to 23rd will be a week of ACTION in Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area to bring attention to the extreme housing & gentrification crisis that is happening to us. The call comes from the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and Liberated Lens is looking to support with media trainings and coverage. Join us for our workshop the 16th and put your skills to the test at actions the following week. Then after the last day of actions we will be helping everyone walk through the editing, posting and distribution process the 24th, all from your phone! This is a very basic course geared to citizen journalists, protesters, houseless folk and beginners who just have access to a phone as their camera. |
