Programmed by Thomas Stubblefield, Ph.D. student, UCI Visual Studies Program Thursdays in August at 7:00 pm in HIB 100.
From shopping at the local grocery store, to surfing the internet, to using a library card, surveillance has become an inescapable part of everyday life. Not surprisingly, it is also a subject that has figured prominently in the history of film where it has served to call attention to abuse of power on the part of the state, to diagnose our collective paranoia or to simply disclose the seemingly innate pleasure of watching another. This series will bring together a handful of films on the subject in order to ask timely questions about the relationship of privacy and security, the role of technology in day-to-day life and the social and personal consequences of living in a state of constant surveillance.
