Curator’s Talk

Film Screening and Discussion with Jem Cohen

March 4, 2005

Film Screening and Discussion with Independent Filmmaker Jem Cohen
Chain (99 minutes)
When: 7 pm
Where: 1104 S. Wabash Ave., Room 302

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.
