JUST DO IT
THE GROOVY MOVIE PICTURE HOUSE IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE MUSIC FESTIVAL PREMIERE
OF "JUST DO IT" AT GLATONBURY FESTIVAL, THURSDAY JUNE 23rd at 10pm
& SATURDAY JUNE 25th at Midnight.
Just Do It is the upcoming feature documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Emily
James offering a behind the scenes portrait of UK climate activists . The
individuals in the film have picked up the mantle of civil disobedience and
direct action chaining themselves to Parliament, super-gluing themselves
to bank trading floors, and attacking coal power stations en-mass.
Just Do It is crowd funded, freeing the film from the constraints of broadcasters.
Through a totally unique production model that embraces crowd-funding and
the power of working collectively, this film is breaking new ground in independent
production. But they need your support.

Beating The Bomb
- A film about the history of the peace movement. Made by two independent
film makers over three years, it is a film about the biggest weapons of mass
destruction ever created, the people who use them and, more importantly, it
is about the people who fight them. Featuring Tony Benn, Mark Thomas and Vivienne
Westwood.
Mark Thomas has offered us his recording of his live show, ridiculing the
laws governing protests...
Serious Organised Criminal
- This is how Mark fought the law ... with the law's permission! It is a laugh
out loud funny world inhabited by anarchists, Goths, artists and the Westminster
Constabulary, in which Mark becomes a Guinness World Record holder, organises
2,500 protests in one day and changes the law in the process.
Big thanks to Nina Paley for her feature length animated masterpiece
Sita Sings the Blues
Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina
is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email.
Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern
comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic
Ramayana.
Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues
earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."
