Star Wars Revelations showing
We will be screening Star Wars Revelations at 10pm on Friday, March 24th, in Science Center 101. Why? Because it’s a fan-produced film that is arguably better than George Lucas’s last three attempts, despite only having a budget of $20,000. Its special effects were produced in an open-source collaborative model, by a “scattered group of artists around the world, working on different platforms and pieced together in post-production.” It was distributed entirely through the internet.
Perhaps most importantly, we can show it to as many people as we want without getting a nasty-gram from the MPAA, unlike many mainstream movies on this campus. How cool is that?
Since Star Wars: Revelations itself is only 47 minutes long, we may also show other Star Wars videos, including some Star Wars Kid remixes (apologies to the poor kid), “Troops” - a Cops parody, the “trailer” for “American Jedi,” and perhaps Pizza Delivery Jedi, a film produced by Florida Free Culture member J.C. Jones. Long live fanfic!
