BED PEACE starring John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Dear Friends,
In 1969, John and I were so naïve to think that doing the Bed-In would help change the world.
Well, it might have. But at the time, we didn't know.
It was good that we filmed it, though.
The film is powerful now.
What we said then could have been said now.
In fact, there are things that we said then in the film, which may give some encouragement and inspiration to the activists of today. Good luck to us all.
Let's remember WAR IS OVER if we want it.
It's up to us, and nobody else.
John would have wanted to say that.
Love, yoko

ABOUT BED PEACE
1969 was the year that John & Yoko intensified their long running campaign for World Peace. They approached the task with the same entrepreneurial expertise as an advertising agency selling a brand of soap powder to the masses. John & Yoko's product however was PEACE, not soft soap, and they were determined to use any slogan, event and gimmick in order to persuade the World to buy it.
BED PEACE (directed by Yoko & John and filmed by Nic Knowland) is a document of the Montreal events and features John & Yoko in conversation with, amongst others, The World Press, satirist Al Capp, activist Dick Gregory, comedian Tommy Smothers, protesters at Berkeley's People's Park, Rabbi Abraham L. Feinberg, quiltmaker Christine Kemp, psychologists Timothy Leary & Rosemary Leary, CFOX DJs Charles P. Rodney Chandler & Roger Scott, producer André Perry, journalist Ritchie York, DJ & Promoter Murray The K, filmmaker Jonas Mekas, publicist Derek Taylor & personal assistant Anthony Fawcett.
Featured songs are Plastic Ono Band's GIVE PEACE A CHANCE & INSTANT KARMA, Yoko's REMEMBER LOVE & WHO HAS SEEN THE WIND & John's acoustic version of BECAUSE.

The Antics Roadshow - 2011 - Banksy (full documentary)
Après une courte introduction sur des images des récentes émeutes britanniques, The Antics Roadshow part donc pour un tour du monde des"excentriques" et néo militants politiques : en France avec l’artiste Princesse Hijab (qui dessine des voiles sur les enseignes publicitaires) ou l’entarteur en chef Noel Godin ; aux Etats-Unis avec le collectif No pants Subway Ride ("métro sans pantalons") ; en Russie avec les activistes géniaux du groupe Voina (célèbres pour leur dénonciation des abus policiers). Et en Grande-Bretagne, évidemment, où Banksy a rencontré le mythique Michael Fagan, un ancien chômeur qui était parvenu à s’introduire, en 1982, dans l’imprenable Buckingham Palace.
Un portrait éclaté de la désobéissance civile
Des années Thatcher à l’empire Murdoch, de la guerre d’Irak aux flashmobs new-yorkais, le documentaire de Banksy (de facture très classique : images d’archives, interviews, montage musical) dresse un portrait éclaté de la désobéissance civile (politique ou non).
"Très simplement, je pensais que The Antics Roadshow était un bon nom pour un programme télé, et j’ai travaillé à partir de ça", explique le street artist dans une note d’intention lapidaire publiée sur le site de Channel 4.
Mais sa diffusion, le week-end concluant une semaine d’émeutes en Grande-Bretagne, apparaît déjà comme l’un des happenings les plus stimulants imaginé par Banksy.
