Screening: MUSIC VIDEO REVIVAL more info FRI - Nov 2 - 10:30 PM - JPL Auditorium Dir. Various Music Video directors. In the past, the barriers to creating a music video were quite high. Only those backed by a record label with significant resources could expect to make a video during their career. Even then, there were but a few outlets with limited time so that only a handful ever even saw the light of day. Of course YouTube, Vimeo and the Internet in general have changed all that making music videos the most effective, viral tool for promoting one's band. Advances in technology have made professional-quality equipment accessible to just about anyone and while you can still spend a ton of money on a professional video, some of the most creative and talented people out there are the ones with nothing more than a camera and an idea. This program celebrates both sides of the industry and seeks to close the gap between the creative forces behind the music and the lens.

Screening: THIS SPACE AVAILABLE with Q&A RESERVED SEATING MUST PICK UP TICKETS AT BOX OFFICE more info THUR - Nov 1 - 7:30 PM - Florida Theatre Dir. Gwenaelle Gobé. Synopsis: Billboards and commercial messages dominate the public space like never before. Are the efforts to reverse this trend signaling a movement? From 240 hours of film, 160 interviews, and visits to 11 countries on five continents, This Space Available charts a fascinating variety of struggles against unchecked advertising and suggests that more than aesthetics is at stake. But the filmmaker also recognizes the history and politics behind this fight. Turning to such legislation as the Highway Beautification Act of 1965, Gobé shows how the enforcement of this landmark law, designed to regulate outdoor advertising on America’s roadways, has steadily eroded. And today, public space activists like Jordan Seiler faces harsh penalties for covering outdoor ads with art – while officials turn a blind eye to illegally erected billboards. Still, the film strikes a hopeful tone. A standout interview features Gilberto Kassab, the popular mayor of Sao Paulo, who threw a stone into the quiet pond of the billboard industry by successfully banning outdoor media in his city – the eighth largest in the world. In the end, This Space Available challenges audiences to recognize that aesthetics and beauty go hand in hand with responsibility. The film navigates these issues without promoting a universal solution. Gobé instead weaves together stories reflecting diverse local responses to an increasingly global condition. This Space Available compels audiences to consider these stories long after the film ends, or at least to remember them each time we speed by a billboard. Presented with: City Beautiful JAX, Greenscape, Scenic Jacksonville, and Rogers Towers, P.A.
