Repetition and The Battle of Orgreave
The Cinema Effect: Part II Special Screenings |
 |  |
Note: Programs are unrated but may contain adult content.
12 Noon: Jeremy Deller's The Battle of Orgreave (2001, 63 min.) is a re-enactment of the 1984 confrontation between striking miners and police near the Orgreave coking plant in England. The event provided an opportunity for several members of the parties participating in the original strike -- including miners and their families, policemen, the townspeople of Orgreave, the British media, and the viewing public -- to re-evaluate the chronology of the conflict and the way in which the televised images of the strike colored public opinion. 1:15 PM: Artur Zmijewski's Repetition (2005, 75 min.) re-creates the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, but achieves a different result. Rather than accepting their roles and engaging in confrontational behavior, as in the original experiment, the modern-day "guards" and "prisoners," aware of the power of the camera to survey and control, ultimately unite against the producers to end the experiment.
Free; first come, first served
