For those of you who live in or near Chicago....
FILM SCREENING AND DISCUSSION WITH INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER JEM COHEN
Chain (99 minutes)
Friday, March 4, 2005
7 pm
1104 S. Wabash Ave., Room 302, Chicago
Chain blends actual shopping malls, theme parks, hotels and corporate
centers world wide into one bleak and homogenous "superlandscape"
that shapes the lives of two women caught within it: one a corporate
businesswoman, the other a young drifter. Written and directed by Jem
Cohen, Chain was shot with little or no crew over six years in eleven
American states and six other countries. Cohen, who has written and
directed several films including Instrument (1999), which documents
ten years in the life of the band Fugazi, will introduce the film and
answer questions following the screening. This event is sponsored in
collaboration with the film department of Columbia College Chicago.
