This documentary about economic alternatives was made in Brno, the Czech Republic's second largest city. It examines community responses to the Covid-19 crisis and the multiplicity of nowtopian alternatives which exist in three community-based projects: a maker space, a community bike workshop, and an urban garden. It includes interviews with Chris Carlsson, author of Nowtopia: How Pirate Programmers, Outlaw Bicyclists, and Vacant-Lot Gardeners are Inventing the Future Today! and Nadia Johanisova, expert in heterodox economics and eco-social enterprise The term ‘Nowtopia’ is increasingly used by both activists and academics to describe a variety of interconnected tendencies. It can, for instance, apply to seeking freedom outside the confines of wage labour, or the creation of liberated common space in the here and now. The short film draws inspiration from the post-capitalist community economies approach of J.K. Gibson-Graham and the economic utopianism of the Degrowth movement. It is divided into three parts: Part I – What do we understand by ‘economy’? Part II – Responding to Crisis Part III – Nowtopia in action Directed by Tom Smith - tom-smith0.webnode.co.uk/contact/ Produced by tomkamin.cz #economy #environment #nowtopia #documentary #coronavirus #alternatives #degrowth #postcapitalism #socialenterprise #makerspace #bikekitchen #urbangarden #communityeconomy #czechrepublic
