This is Ezra Winton’s blog thingy. I am a PhD candidate in Carleton’s Communication Studies program, I’m the founder and programmer of the Cinema Politica Network, and I’m on the Board of Directors of the Documentary Organization of Canada-Quebec. I like puppies and jello. Dislikes are the usual lefty fare: imperialists, right wing Zionists, hawks, you know the drill. To contact me, it’s my name AT this website. Thanks for reading…
And my OFFICIAL bio for those who need it:
Ezra Winton is interested in the power of cinema to move mountains (of people into action). He is currently pursuing a PhD in Communication Studies at Carleton University where he is focused on network philosophy, documentary film and radical pedagogy. He has made documentaries, starred in them, curated and theorized them, and hopes one day to teach them. Ezra created Cinema Politica in 2001, a pan-Canadian network of political documentary screening sites that has over 30 locals in Canada with five in Europe and another in Brazil. Recent publications include articles in POV Magazine and forthcoming chapters in The Challenge for Change Reader and Mediascapes, an undergraduate textbook for Communication students.
