We also hope to be showing some independent media films on some evenings.

Hacking a Indymedia Bristol Film Night

I'm going to start to blog frequently now, having had this blog for quite some time. My intention is to move this to my own hosting as soon as I can.

Last night was great, did a talk with Sy from Indy Bristol at the Cube Microplex on the subject of hacktivism. I showed the film En Busca de Hackers, which is beginning to look slightly hackneyed to my eyes though I think it's still a good example and introduction to the topic. It's notable that the story lines are slightly open-ended with no clear conclusion.

The talks went really well and it seems that Sy's academic top down talk joined up perfectly with my bottom up approach.

Would like to do more of this and perhaps organise a weekend of hacking....
