Hi, Folks;

 

Sorry for the extremely short notice on this - I though I had sent it out earlier this week.  Rod Stoneman is the director of the NUIG Dept. of Film and Media Studies, and we have been extended an invitation to attend these screenings both by the Irish Immigration Center and the Venezualan Consulate.  i will be at the evening screening and hope to see some of you there.  Exciting things coming out of Galway these days!  For those who were not able to join us on Monday, I have copies of the EXCELLENT presentation and will be posting photos over the next few days.

Film Screening, Book Signing and Discussion with:

Rod Stoneman

Executive producer of the acclaimed documentary

“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”

and author of the book “Chávez: The Revolution will not be Televised; A Case Study of Politics and Media”

Rod Stoneman is the Director of the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, National University of Ireland in Galway. He previously served as Chief Executive of Bord Scannán na hÉireann / The Irish Film Board and as Deputy Commissioning Editor of the Independent Film and Video Department at Channel 4. He has produced several independent films, among them, “Bloody Sunday” (2002), “The Last September” (2000) and “Southpaw” (2000)

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is a powerful and dramatic film about the charismatic and controversial Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. It charts the seven month run-up to the violent attempt to overthrow him in April 2002 and provides an eyewitness account of the coup d' état and the extraordinary return to power some 48 hours later. Unique footage is assembled in this electrifying documentary, that illuminates contemporary politics in Latin America.
