A co-production of the Seattle Independent Media Center and Big Noise Films, THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE is a 70 minute documentary capturing the events of the 1999 anti-WTO protests in Seattle. “The documentary, like the protests, turns art into action…” – Village Voice Cut from the footage of over 100 media activists, the film marks a turning point in collaborative filmmaking and achieves a scope and vision possible only through the lenses of over 100 cameras. “One of the most important films of the year.

He finally inquires about the possibility of transcending the modern notion of the avant-garde as such; a possibility of the arrival – being the poet and the communist at the same time,...
