TransUS-
A Discussion on the State of North American Queer Feminist Activism
Christoph Fiedler and Elin Sandström Lundh\, a pair of Swedish writers will present their findingsfrom their travels across the US and Canada interviewing people about the state of queer feminist activism in 2008. The interviews will be compiled into a book--part photo-essay\, part interviews\, part original texts by queer activists.
TransUS says\, \\"Queer-feminist activism constitutes an enormous positive power in its constant evolvement and questioning of both queer-feminist theory and of society at large.\\"
Throughout 2008\, they have been travelling across the US and Canada\, interviewing people involved in queer-feminist actions such as organizing festivals\, starting bands\, printing fanzines\, doing art\, arranging demonstrations or more day-to-day activism.

A Film Series
The Weather Underground (2002\, 92 min.) is an Oscar Nominated documentary that follows the rise and fall of the Weather Underground - a group of several hundred young women and men who tried to violently overthrow the American government during the late 1960s and 70s. Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America\, the Weathermen battled police in the streets\, bombed the US Capitol and two dozen other buildings\, and broke Timothy Leary out of prison. For almost a decade\, they lived underground and evaded one of the largest FBI manhunts in US history. In this film\, former members of the Weather Underground speak candidly about their own thoughts and experiencesmany for the first time ever. What drove the group to embrace violence? How did violence affect their cause? How did it change them? And how do they feel about their actions thirty years later?
