Hi we are making a documentary about the global hacker culture, especially, the political side of hacking. We are emailing spaces around the world to see what kind of interesting projects that are in process so that we can feature them in the documentary. We want to tell the story of the hacker community with the voices of the hackers themselves. We also want to do a film about the global hacker culture visiting the four corners of the earth.
Below is a text about the film.
On the 29th of November 2009 Malmö's hackerspace Forskningsavdelningen was raided by masked riot police.
Armed with batons and pepper spray they stormed the social center where the hackerspace housed and confiscated computers and other technical equipment.
One of the people detained was a hacker named mackt. With a background in The Pirate Bay, for him the raid was yet another proof of society’s mistrust and lack of understanding of hacker culture.
After the incident he wanted to do something about the distorted image of hackers. He contacted the film collective RåFILM in Malmö and the idea was born to make a documentary that explains the political aspects of hacker culture beyond the simplifications and preconceptions.
The film will take them out on a long trip to the famous and infamous hackers and activists around the world, hackers that express themselves artistically and politically through technology. What are their motivations? What are the politics and activism hacker culture has shaped out? How does this impact our world? The film will feature unique encounters with people that usually elude the public. It will crash land in the middle of the conflict currently taking place between those who want to keep the technology and the Internet free and those who want to control it.
Cheers, Alex, Gonzalo and Mackt

Hey guys!
I met some of you two years ago in Malmö. Mackt, thanks again for giving us a place to sleep and for spending some time with us and showing us around. We really appreciated that.
You are welcome in Dortmund if you want do drop by for your documentary. You can crash at my place or maybe some else from the Chaostreff will have some space for a Thermarest and a sleeping bag.
The Chaostreff Dortmund is expanding. We are currently renovating our new rooms. There will be more than double the space available afterwards. Up until now the space was very limited, constraining our capability for realizing a lot of projects. There was simply too little room.
https://wiki.ctdo.de/verein/raumerweiterung#grundriss Before we only had Room 1 and 2. Now we are adding Rooms 3 to 5. This will allow us to make more projects and also workshops with externals.
The Hackerspace of Bochum, called "Das Labor", is very active and they have a lot of space. Bochum is really near by, just like CPH to Malmö. Thus if you visit this area, it will be very easy to visit both hackerspaces. Chaostreff Essen is just starting. I don't really have an idea about their status. But maybe worth to take a look at a nascent Hackerspace. Chaostreff Cologne is also only a two hour ride by train.
You can see a list of our projects here: https://wiki.ctdo.de/projekte/ Feel free to ask any questions.
There is a vivid Hamburg to Dortmund connection in my circle of friends. Maybe there is a chance for a free or cheap ride. Contact me beforehand, and I'll try to hook you up.
Looking forward to meeting you guys. Any known dates when you'll be traveling?
Best regards!
