(A description of the film can be found below.) This screening event is in anticipation of the upcoming G8 summit to be held at Lake Toya in Hokkaido. Following the main screening, I will be moderating a discussion between media activist Tsuchiya Yutaka and film critic and activist Hirasawa Go on recent video activism in Japan. The discussion will include clips of recent anti-neoliberal activism in Japan and a discussion of how alternative media are responding both locally and globally to this year's Hokkaido Summit. </p><p>Because the FCCJ is a private organization, all guests (non-members) need to pre-register. If you're interested in joining us, please send me an email (<a href="mailto:jmhall@uci.edu">jmhall@uci.edu</a>) by Sunday June 15. I can send you directions to the Press Club. </p><p>Thanks for the organization of this event go to Koichi Mori and Karen Severns.</p><p>Jonathan M Hall</p><p>(apologies for cross-posting)</p><p><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></p><p>===============</p><p><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></p><p>Special Film Screening:</p><div>Time: Saturday Jun 21 17:00 - 19:00</div><div>Location: Foreign Correspondents' Press Club, Yuraku-cho, Tokyo</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Screening + Panel Discussion:</div><p>SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 2008. 17:00 H. 20th Floor</p><p>SPECIAL FILM SCREENING followed by a discussion, video clips of activism in Japan, and Q&A with media activists Yutaka Tsuchiya and Go Hirasawa, and Japanese film specialist Jonathan M.

Austria, Australia. 2008. 40 min.<br> Zanny Begg and Oliver Ressler, directors</p><p>In English and German with English subtitles.</p><p>What Would It Mean To Win? was filmed on the blockades at the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, in June 2007. Focusing on the current state of the counter-globalization movement, it combines documentary footage, interviews, and animation sequences, and is structured around three questions pertinent to the movement: Who are we? What is our power? What would it mean to win? Almost 10 years after Seattle became the birthplace for the "movement of movements," the protests in Heiligendamm seemed to reassert the confidence, inventiveness and creativity of the counter-globalization movement. This film aims to move beyond the question of whether we are "winning" or not by addressing what would it actually mean to win.</p>
