\nFrom Free Culture @ NYU<\/a>:
\nIn 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod trademarked the phrase “freedom of expression” – ?\u009da startling comment on the way that intellectual property law can restrict creativity and the expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod’s award-winning book of the same title, Freedom of Expression\u00ae charts the many successful attempts to push back the assault on free expression by overzealous copyright holders.
\nIn cooperation with the Media Education Foundation<\/a> and La Lutta<\/a>, Free Culture @ NYU is screening Freedom of Expression\u00ae: Resistance and Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property<\/em><\/a> at 9pm on Thursday, January 31.
\nNarrated by Naomi Klein, the film features interviews with Stanford Law’s Lawrence Lessig, Illegal Art Show curator Carrie McLaren, Negativland’s Mark Hosler, UVA media scholar Siva Vaidhyanathan, and Free Culture @ NYU co-founder Inga Chernyak, among many others. This 53-minute documentary will be preceded by selections from Negativland’s new DVD, Our Favorite Things, and it will be followed by a Q&A with Freedom of Expression\u00ae author and director Kembrew McLeod and co-producer Jeremy Smith.
