Stepping into the Future
A Documentary
On the Occasion of the Publication of BAsics:
A Celebration of Revolution and the Vision of a New World
Saturday, Sept 13, 3-5 pm
Evanston Public Library
1703 Orrington Ave Evanston, IL
On
April 11, 2011, Harlem Stage in NYC came alive with music, poetry,
dance, visual art, and words of revolution on the occasion of the
publication of BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian.
Stepping into the Future is the story of that night and the reflections of the artists and participants.
Because
of Bob Avakian and the work he has done over several decades, summing
up the positive and negative experience of the communist revolution so
far, and drawing from a broad range of human experience, there is a new
synthesis of communism that has been brought forward. There really is a
viable vision and strategy for a radically new, and much better, society
and world, and there is the crucial leadership that is needed to carry
forward the struggle toward that goal.
For
people who have never seen or experienced Bob Avakian and the impact of
his words, this film is an inspiring introduction. In the documentary,
the jazz composer and musician Matthew Shipp comments: "Avakian talks a
lot about revolutionaries having a poetic imagination, so it was really
good to see that idea within the context of an event that has to do with
the political or philosophical idealism of revolution." After a
screening of a rough cut of the film, a couple of artists were
discussing how the film makes you recognize the brainwash of this
culture and society and not just wish you had been there on April 11,
but impels you to want to find out more about this revolution and BA.
What could be more timely at a juncture when the world is roiling with reactionary governments and movements, when it reeks from a putrid culture, and is imperiled by the prospect of the destruction of the planet we live on?
Think
of what an inspiration and difference a radically new culture as part
of a new revolutionary society and the movement to bring it into being
means. STEPPING INTO THE FUTURE makes that real.
