Cheers for reposting @bertrussell.bsky.social! I’m looking forward to seeing @kmilb.bsky.social presenting Radical Abundance tonight with @majorityuk.bsky.social Newcastle upon Tyne

I found possibly my worst ever example of a obliterated public footpath today at Cerrig-tranau-uchaf by the Dyfi floodplain. Signs gone, barbed wire, overgrown brambles and a bridge reduced to a steel bar!

6/* I’m interested in talking through these tensions. If a creative commons of film and a post-extractivist filmmaking economy is the aim, how do we navigate getting there?

5/* there is also the question of the right to refuse use of your knowledges (rushes). Non-commercial restrictions don’t prevent extractivist colonising purposes.

4/* talking with @paulakahumbu.bsky.social at the 2023 @bectu.bsky.social Autumn Gathering she spoke of her frustration, as a maker of African-led nature documentaries, that the non-commercial restrictions inhibited the possibility of a successful indigenous filmmaking, keeping the power in the UK

3/* you can see that by doing this you build a non-capitalist filmmaking ecology. However, while this prefigures a (from our perspective) desirable post-extractivist filmmaking economy, the restriction to be non-profit makes it difficult to exist in the world as it is.

2/* And that this would be done on a non-commercial and share-alike basis (meaning whatever is made is made available on the same terms - the film it is used in can also not be used in for-profit filmmaking). This is an anti-capitalist position.
