Of course, you should be watching lots of cool stuff at the San Francisco International Film Festival. But tomorrow will be especially fun for me because I’m on a panel with a bunch of amazing filmmakers to discuss “film as a tool for social and political change.” I’ll be talking about how the internet is changing film, as well as the future of revolutionary film online. Here’s a description of the panel, which is at 2 PM in theater 2 at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco’s Japantown:

The Revolution, Now Playing: Film as a Tool for Social and Political Change
New technologies are enabling and empowering new variations in political and social organizing—flash mobs, blogs, issue-oriented DVD clubs, etc. This energetic panel of activists and filmmakers will discuss current and future ways in which film and media can be used to effect meaningful change.

Moderated by Susan Gerhard, bureau chief, sf360.org

Panelists include Ian Inaba, founder, Guerilla News Network/director, American Blackout; Keith Morikawa, supervising producer, UTHTV.com; Annalee Newitz, writer, techsploitation.com; Adam Werbach, president, Ironweed Films; Jeff Zimbalist, director, Favela Rising.
