Anarkos Pre-Trailer

Anarkos Pre-Trailer from S DN on Vimeo.

Documentary series will explore fundamental issues of human existence from an anti-authoritarian/anarchistic perspective. Films will be released for free online.

Rather than dealing solely with the surface manifestations of our societal problems, Anarkos will dig right down to the roots; at the same time it will offer a positive vision for the transformation of society.

Estimated number of entries in the film series will be 16 titles, each about one hour in length, released about one per month over a period of just over one year. Though the films will be designed as a series, they will also be self-contained (i.e., viewable as single entries).

Initial fund-raising effort will allow for the creation of approximately the first eight titles; a second fund-raiser would be conducted eight months hence to complete the second half of the series. The first entry will be released about three months after the end of the first fund-raiser.

Most of the interview subjects will be self-identified “anarchists”; however, left-Marxists, democratic socialists and academics of various political stripes will also be included. Subject matter will be of interest to all people regardless of political affiliation.

Approximately ten percent of the interviews have already been conducted; a few snippets of these discussions have been included in the Anarkos pre-trailer. Among those interviewed so far: Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn (interview conducted a few months before his passing), Michael Albert, Richard Heinberg, Russell Means (Oglala Sioux Activist), John Trudell (Poet; Activist, American Indian Movement), Sharon Smith (Subterranean Fire), Andrej Grubachic (Anarchism: The Revolutionary Movement of the 21st Century), David Abram (The Spell of the Sensuous), Glen Ford (Black Agenda Report), Alfie Kohn (No Contest: The Case Against Competition; Unconditional Parenting), George Ritzer (The McDonaldization of Society), Christian Parenti (The Soft Cage), Carole Pateman (The Sexual Contract) and others.
