Dub Ya War

'Dub Ya War' documents the 'Don't attack Iraq' protests in London 2003-2005. Mixed live to dub-reggae music with use of ambient sound from the marches and a hard hitting visual style.
(This version was mixed live at the Gluerooms event in New Cross, East London.)

The film is mixed down live using VJ techniques to a dub-reggae soundtrack performed by Prodical and covers 6 London protests , before during and after the war in Iraq 03. Interspersed with the protest footage is Prelinger archive cold war propaganda, remixed to give a different meaning 50 years later. Textual information provides another layer of meaning and underlines the documentary basis of the film.

Filmstock international film festival, Luton 6 June 2005

i was at the gluerooms the night you did this, i think it was their birthday gig,when they opened up the amersham arms fully, it does have that on U sound system feel to it

Hi there,

Great you were at the Gluerooms gig - they get pretty out there don't they;) It's a compliment that you think we have an on-u sound feel, that was an iconic 90s label. I've added a previous film to my channel - road wars, made in '99 that you might want to look at, it's about the claremont RD protests against the m11 link road

Cheers

'm researching military/war music videos and have created a survey online to gather feedback from editors and viewers. Please visit my channel and you can link to the survey from there. I'm interested in hearing from anyone with something to say about these kinds of videos. Thanks.
