SF film event: "Bad Reception: Wireless Revolution in SF". News of an interesting film screening on Friday in San Francisco: Following a well-attended premiere screening before an enthusiastic crowd in January 2003, Artists' Television Access is once again presenting "Bad Reception: the Wireless Revolution in San Francisco" - a vital chronicle of San Francisco community resistance to the telecom industry. The dot-com era in San Francisco provoked responses from the activist community over live-work lofts, illegal evictions, and the displacement of working people and artists from their traditional communities. Less widely reported was the response by ordinary residents to another by-product of this technological revolution - the proliferation of wireless antennas to feed the booming use of cell phones throughout the city. FRIDAY, JUNE 13TH, 8 PM - $5; Artists Television Access, 992 Valencia Street - San Francisco. Discussion with the producers and invited guests follows. [Boing Boing] 1:46:54 PM   comments[]
