The DIVA NOT ONTV Video Collection 1999-2003 - brief synopsis

• Buy Nothing Day 2000 - Oh noooo! Culture Jammers warn shoppers at Limeridge Mall about an outbreak of “affluenza.” Police are called. Starring members of Hamilton’s comedy troupe the Imponderables (between paid gigs) 6 min 30 sec.
• Car Free Day - A counter to car “culture” this informative video looks at the problems associated with cars and looks toward a car free future. Narrated by Scott Neigh. 3 min. 30 sec.
• Target Audience: Children, War and the Hamilton International Air Show - DIVA’s first production. 1999 protest against Hamilton Air/War show. Featuring Child Psychiatrist Joanna Santa Barbara on "Kiddie Commando", arrests at the air show, and a moving prayer for peace by Murray Lumley. 9 min. 30 sec.
• Catholic Worker: Litany of Resistance (Hamilton War Show, 2000) - Members of the Catholic Worker movement support peace with their litany of resistance, leading to criminal charges! “What was the mischief officer? was it the praying? or the singing?” 5 min. 30 sec.
• Extinction Song - Toronto Raging Gran Elizabeth Block knocks ‘em dead with this deadpan song. 2 min.
• Commie Kybos - Members of Hamilton Indymedia infiltrate the war show only to find the communist conspiracy beat them to it. .21 sec.
• Noam Chomsky - Anarchism - the man: the ism. 6 min 50 sec.
• Car Free Day 2002 - best unauthorized street party in Hamilton, ever! Music by Raging Grannies, Steve Sinnicks. Dancing to techno. Critical Mass. Food. Chalk. Sod. People having fun. Oh, and police. 8 min. 43 sec.
• War Games in the Park - a video camera, an umbrella, a rainy night, the “war on terror” and armed members of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry all converge at Bayfront Park - the resulting 2 minute video got picked for Photophobia 4, The Art Gallery of Hamilton’s juried exhibition of short video. 2 min. 35 sec.
• Critical Mass: How You See It - Since May 1999, Hamilton cyclists have been enjoying the charms of riding together downtown streets on the last Friday of the month. This short video is the distilled essence - cyclists, uni-cyclists, pedal for peace ride, police intervention, road rage. Chosen for Photophobia 5. 5 min. 40 sec.
