Saw a guerilla movie premiere flash mob for the first time last night. The film was Josh Fox’s latest short – Occupy Sandy – edited in less that a month. The screening location was kept secret until the very last moment. In order to find out where it would take place you had to text Occupy Sandy or follow #climatecrime on Twitter.
The location picked up was an Exxon Mobil gas station on 2nd Street and Avenue C. About 100 people turned out for the screening, which was beamed onto a nearby wall by a van equipped with a high-powered projection system.
The film follows some of the Occupy Movement’s grassroot reaction and effective civil support after the devastating storm and focuses on the link between the disaster, climate change and the fossil fuel industry. See the whole thing and decide for yourself at www.occupytheclimate.com
