Mediums preceded by Special Features
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: James N. Kienitz Wilkins
2017 / 50min / DCP
Lifting dialogue in toto from automotive manuals, jury-selection pamphlets, blog posts, and fast food franchise contracts, Mediums—disarmingly moving in its community theater performances and democratic reimagining of online exchange as an IRL marketplace of ideas—depicts the events around a pre-trial voir dire examination, in which prospective jurors are questioned about their backgrounds and potential biases. Screens with Special Features, presented as a sit-down interview fragment from a mysterious video production, a beguiling work that “[uses] found (or pseudo-found) elements to consider the extent to which popular culture has essentially authored our dreams.” [Cinema Scope]
Post-screening Q&A with James N. Kienitz Wilkins, moderated by Matthew Shen Goodman, on Saturday, August 3rd
