Kabul, Jenin, Tehran : Comuna Under Construction September 14, 2010

'Kabul, Jenin, Tehran...' a program of recent video work addressing issues of political and documentary representation, often overlooked by mainstream media. n more than 30,000 Consejos Comunales, Venezuelans decide on their concerns collectively through assemblies. By local self-organization from below several working groups have been established on self-decided topics, and decisions are made in assemblies. The film 'Comuna under Construction' follows these developments throughout the hillside of the shantytowns of Caracas and the vast and wet plains of Barinas in the countryside, showing the viewer the intentions of the formation of a Consejo Comunal and its consequences.
