[p2p-research] Fwd: [Newsletter] Upcoming screenings “Comuna Under Construction”

[Michel Bauwens]

“Comuna Under Construction”, 94 min., 2010

A film about local self-administration in Venezuela: In more than 30.000
consejos comunales (community councils) the people of Venezuela decide
collectively in assemblies about many of their community's concerns.
Several community councils can join and form a Comuna and various
Comunas can build a communal town. These councils are built from below,
parallel to the existing institutional framework and aim to overcome the
existing State by self-government. The film “Comuna Under Construction”
follows these developments in Caracas poor districts and in the countryside.

“Comuna im Aufbau”, 94 Min., 2010

Ein Film über lokale Selbstverwaltung in Venezuela: In über 30.000
Consejos Comunales (Kommunalen Räten) entscheiden die BewohnerInnen
Venezuelas selbst kollektiv in Versammlungen über viele Belange ihres
Umfeldes. Mehrere Consejos Comunales können sich zu einer Comuna und
schließlich zu einer Kommunalen Stadt zusammenschließen. Diese Räte
werden von unten, parallel zu den bestehenden Institutionen aufgebaut
und sollen durch die Selbstregierung den bestehenden Staat überwinden.
Der Film „Comuna im Aufbau“ geht dieser Entwicklung in den Armenvierteln
von Caracas und auf dem Land nach.
