Said, Sign It, and Silber

* Anthology Film Archives in NYC announces the October premieres of two films on the late Edward Said:

“EDWARD SAID: THE LAST INTERVIEW is the record of a wide-ranging and engaging conversation with Said, conducted within a year of his death in 2003, while OUT OF PLACE is an intimate portrait completed in 2005. Completely present in the former, Said’s spirit echoes throughout the latter, in spite of his absence.”

* Here’s a nonpartisan pledge to not vote for pro-war/occupation candidates. Signing it is easier and almost certainly more worthwhile than actually voting.

* Arthur Silber is back and in fine form, expounding on the urgency of resisting dictatorship now.
