The good people at ChristieBooks continue to expand their magnificent online library of anarchist and otherwise revolutionary films. Important works that were once buried in distant archives or locked in dusty file cabinets are now available to anyone with an internet connection. Follow this link to see the full list.
Among other gems, there is an extensive collection of rare films about anarchist activity during the Spanish Civil War, a Russian language biopic on Ukrainian anarchist Nestor Makhno (The Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno), an interview with Gillo Pontecorvo on making The Battle of Algiers, and many more. A significant number of the films are in Spanish, although many are in English and many have subtitles.
ChristieBooks is an anarchist multimedia publisher sustained through the sale of its publications and posters and financial support from sympathetic donors. Please consider helping them continue and develop their project by either purchasing some of their books or posters or by donating to their sustaining fund. I just sent them $25 through Paypal (use this email address: christie@btclick.com) but you can also use regular mail (ChristieBooks, PO Box 35, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 2UX, United Kingdom).
They are presently uploading two or three films per week and, with our help, they will continue keep adding to that figure and enriching this wonderful resource for anarchist and libertarian video footage.
Here’s one of the films available on their site: The Take, by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis:
