<p>Motion pictures with history, concepts, and characters related to anarchy, anarchism(s), or produced by anarchists.</p><p>Anarchy here refers to the full range of its use including; political rebellion, disorder or chaos; rhizomatic multiplicity; contingency and continuous difference and differentiation; without absolute or universal principle or permanent foundation; spontaneous order; auto/self-organization; unity between order and freedom; order without rulers, gods, masters, authority, or hierarchy; a free and equal society without a state or capitalism; social relations without command and obedience or domination and subordination; or, a self-managed and federated social order free of domination and exploitation.</p><p>Anarchism here refers to a specific ideological family found within historical, social movements, emerging during the 1860s-70s, that is distinctly revolutionary, socialist, and anti-authoritarian. The most notable groups for defining and founding the ideology was the <a href="https://robertgraham.wordpress.com/we-do-not-fear-anarchy-we-invoke-it-a-summary/" rel="nofollow">International Alliance of Socialist Democracy (The Alliance), and the federalist, collectivist, and revolutionary socialist wing of the International Workingmen's Association (IWA or 'The First International')</a>.</p><p>Entries are arranged from most to least relevant.

A few similar approaches to define anarchism follow.</p><p>The first approach is a global and theoretical-historical approach argued for by Felipe Corrêa in <a href="https://strangematters.coop/debates-within-anarchism/" rel="nofollow">Bandeira Negra: rediscutindo o anarquismo [Black Flag: Rediscussing Anarchism]</a>. According to this view,</p><blockquote><p>"Anarchism is a socialist and revolutionary ideology that is founded on specific principles, whose bases are defined by a critique of domination and a defense of self-management; in structural terms, anarchism advocates a social transformation based on strategies which must allow for the substitution of a system of domination by a system of self-management."</p></blockquote><p>A second approach is based on Michael Freeden's method of analysing the conceptual morphology of an ideology. Benjamin Franks applies this approach to anarchism in The Oxford Handbook of Political Ideologies, defining social anarchism, the majority tendency within anarchism, as,</p><blockquote><p>"[...] identified by four key concepts that have remained consistently core and stable since the late nineteenth century[...]. These four principles are: (i) the [...] rejection of the state and state-like bodies, which distinguishes anarchism from social democracy; (ii) a rejection of capitalism as a hierarchical and coercive set of norms and practices, which distinguishes it from anarcho-capitalism; (iii) a fluid concept of the self in which one’s identity is inherently linked to socio-historical context and relationships with others, which distinguishes it from forms of egoism; and finally (iv) a recognition that the means used have to prefigure anarchist goals, which demarcates anarchism from the consequentialism of orthodox Marxism."</p></blockquote><p>The more a film represents the global, social history of the broad anarchist tradition, or concepts within the theory or ideological family of anarchism(s), the higher a film is ordered.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <b>INCLUSION RATIONALE </b></p><p>Films included in this list go well beyond any broadly defined anarchist tradition and could be considered a trans-historicist approach to inclusion. If a film includes a representation, theme, concept, topic, or reference related to 'anarchy', 'anarchism', 'anarchist', or 'libertarian' (however dubious the relation may be to historical anarchism), the film is added.</p><p>Films are also included related to anti-state capitalists (self-styled anarcho-capitalists). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propertarianism" rel="nofollow">Propertarians</a> fall well outside any 'river of anarchy'. This confusion in the anglosphere is due to <a href="https://anarchism.pageabode.com/blog/150-years-of-libertarian/" rel="nofollow">attempts since the 1970s to appropriate both 'libertarian' and 'anarchist' from historical anarchism</a>. <a href="https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/robert-graham-joseph-dejacque-the-first-libertarian" rel="nofollow">'Libertarian' has been used by anarchists synonymously since it was coined by a communist anarchist in the 1850s.</a> From its birth, Anarchism has been a militant advocate for equality and freedom, making it staunchly anti-statist and anti-capitalist.</p><p>This inclusion criteria is an attempt to expose the curious to the socio-political theory and practice of anarchism.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------<br />STREAMING</p><p><a href="https://www.solidaritycinema.com/" rel="nofollow">Solidarity Cinema</a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.media/c/stuartchristiearchive/videos" rel="nofollow">Stuart Christie Archive on kolektiva</a><br /><a href="https://unicornriot.ninja/" rel="nofollow">Unicorn Riot</a><br /><a href="http://www.globaluprisings.org/" rel="nofollow">Global Uprisings</a><br /><a href="http://anarchism.org/" rel="nofollow">Anarchism.org</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Cineanarquista/videos" rel="nofollow">Cine anarquista español.
