The Embassy keeps looking for ways to show its own video programs to the public - while trying to preserve its copyright and that of other non-mainstream Producers and writers involved. Its own print based Archives are partly already online in Blogs like this - but is finding its designed websites can be lost, content removed or become hard to find. Its first website was saved by someone as oocities.org/unemployedembassy - however, a more recent one it actually paid for is now gone somewhere (ie "under construction"). It is unemployedembassy.magix.net plus an extra one like that too. Other wordpress websites have also become inaccessible for updating. as passwords were lost. Some assistance on research its retreiving these shorter website's access could be helpful.
Another may not be able to be added to yet - but it can be located and is almost a Book by itself - on the horrors of middle age retraining/upgrading for guys at TAFE - called COLLEGE DIARY at mask-college.blogspot.com.au (linked to unemployedpeoplesembassy-masks.blogspot.com). Also see its sequel - ULTIMO TAFE SECURITY THUGS post on unemployedpeolesembassy.blogspot.com. All this could be linked together into a Book - with extra material referred to in those College Diary blogs. Even our TVUnderground blog now can't be updated - it now seems, but its initial webpage can be found at timestreamproductions.blogspot.com. We will be now copying off all of our blog/websites onto Word documents - in case they they start disappearing too.
Only this Blog now is still updateable - as far as we know at the moment. There are also our paper-only books - like our WORK TEST, ie one that soon needs to be put into Word document publication formats. A Podcast could be made of a spoken word version and even a Play made from it. All copyright to its author. Extract audios could appear with text and video interviews on a multimedia website - if we could get help to set it up. Then there is our short "book" on the Block architect's hi-rise rental luxury flats for Sydney Uni students called PEMULWAY PARK at ipcn.nsw.gov.au website - where the name of the submission against it (being allowed by the NSW Govt) written by the Unemployed Peoples Embassy are REDACTED. Google however headlines it though as: Unemployed Peoples Embassy 21 Nov 2018 - therefore un-redacting it for the public to read. Even our actual public Submission to the NSW Govt so-called Independant Planing Commision against the gross Pemulway project has popped up again - and googling Unemployed Peoples Embassy will find it (recently at least).
There is also a Portfolio of half hour plays, by the same auther, to be put together. In terms of getting our video programs shown in public - there is more to it than just putting the 30 minutes ones up on Vimeo or that dreaded UTube. Many of these shows also need extra commentary and new interviews to explain the background to them. This is required to respect people who appeared in them.There are some Film Festival outlets and funding options that may be helpful. A new one is the Dare To Struggle Film Festival, due in November this year - which is canvasing donations via pozible crowd funding. They screened a doco on Jack Mundey and the famous Green Bans movement he led. We seek to talk to Lee Riannom against to follow up getting out video programs in it. The Underground Film Festival in Marrickville area, in Sydney - has been quiet in recent years but the Ritz Cinema In Randwick may allow less mainstream style short movies to be shown. !5 minutes is their limit so far on big screen
The Ritz did have a Cinema Reborn (CR) season - mainly on Saturday 1 May, (a Day to celebrate the Workers' union struggles) featuring a rarely seen, 3 Shorts in "Three In One" The 1956 classic, made in Australia (directed by Cecil Holmes) featured Frank Hardy and Henry Lawson's work. We hope to get support for our own new productions from CR's australianculturalfund.org.au/projects/cinema-reborn-2021.The Unemployed Peoples Embassy has its own Commonwealth Bank society savings account - that people can donate to, with receipts issued. Our postal address and mobile number is in Sydney Directory. Our brief TVU blog outlines how at Lental As Anything vegan non-profit restaurant in Newtown Sydney - premiered the intro sequence of a half our production of ours. However the young folk running it didn't quite support us having a Q&A about it at their now discontinued Movie Nite.
That was after just 5 or so minutes of one of our 30 minute local video Dramas called "Morgan", about a fictional private detective in 1950's Sydney - originally a serial on community radio in the Embassy's FREEK OUT show. It joined Timestream Productions' long history of public screenings. Another by the same local playwright, is called "Holmes Romance" - a tribute to Conan Doyles' famous fictional private detective. Our WITAR blog with photos from the live performance, (videoed at Glebe Town Hall in the Embassy's annual Alternative Festival of Arts) - is at theatrexperimental.blogspot.com. A list of these and some our other half hour video programs, going back to the 1970's - will follow here. Not all have had public screenings so far including even our documentary about anti Third Runway noise protects - "The Planes That Ate Sydenham". An early half hour Timestream Production called Pink Floyd Trip To The Moon was premiered at UNSW Engineering Theatrette in 1971 - including Pink F.
Our "Wayside Reunion" reality-doco was premiered at a Test Broadcast of communityTV - in sunny Lismore. No interest from the modern day Wayside Chapel community centre in Potts Point, so far - to finally let it be shown there. Against, this Timestream Production from 1980's - needs added interviews and explanation to respect the people shown. Only extracts can be put up on Vimeo as a Trailer.
