prison_overview.jpg Prison House of Technology
Saturday June 28th 8:00pm
Technology is frequently thought of as the handmaiden of progress. However, the influence of technology in our everyday lives has become so commonplace, so normal, that many aren’t even aware of it, or of the possible dangers of technological media intruding into and taking over our everyday lives. Whether chained to technology, or freed by technology, the videos and films in this program reflect our immersion in the technological world. Some question development; some reveal confusion; some poeticize technological media; others reflect pre-technological myths, but all in some way or other, disclose the experience of living inside the prison house that technology has become.

Sunday June 29th 7:00pm
In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm. Trailer + Reviews
