by Southern Tagalog eXposure — August 15, 2012

AGITPROP is an international festival of films that promote genuine peoples’ struggles all over the world. It takes the role of giving a much needed venue for films and filmmakers that dare present social realities, often silenced and confused by the dominant modes and channels of information. It is for films that take on the issue of imperialism and neoliberal globalization, resistance and liberation struggles, genuine democracy, human rights, and social justice among others.

The First AGITPROP FILM FESTIVAL 2011 | METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES |

AGITPROP FILM FESTIVAL 2011 is being organized alongside two historic occasions which will also be held on July 2011 – the first International Festival on People’s Rights and Struggles (IFPRS) and the 4th International Assembly of the International League of People’s Struggle (ILPS).

The ILPS is an international organization which at present includes more than 350 member organizations from over 40 countries. The IFPRS, on the other hand, is an initiative of ILPS member organizations to give venue for the exchanges between sectoral groups around the word on issues of human rights, livelihood, welfare, women’s rights, culture, environment, and social justice, among others.

Both events seek to forge a stronger and broader solidarity among organizations and individuals, including artists and cultural workers, in the struggle to advance and defend the people’s genuine democratic rights and aspirations throughout the world.

The festival will be first held on July 2-4 at the University of the Philippines in Metro Manila. Afterwards, it will tour different parts of the country, especially in universities. It is open to anyone or any organization from any country willing to promote and mount the festival outside of the Philippines.

The first AGITPROP will feature a total of 30 entries including award winning films such as “Cultures of Resistance (U.S.),” “Mirage of El Dorado (Canada),” “The Yes Men Fix the World (U.S.),” and “DUKOT/Disappeared (Philippines).”
