As YouTube and digital-video technology collapse the distance between film production and distribution, it's no surprise that industrious political documentarians are working to condense the processes hampering up-to-date reportage. A case in point is Mental-Rev Productions, a San Francisco-based video cooperative producing eyewitness accounts of oppression and resistance. The results aren't always nuanced, but they're an important rejoinder to the bird's-eye view political documentaries that normally get theatrical distribution. This special presentation spotlights some of Mental-Rev's latest work, including short films on the clashes over gay marriage (Equality) and the Ohio results of the 2004 election (Struggle).
