DESCRIPTION:Guy Debord's film The Society of the Spectacle\n(1973) originally a French 
 language film presented with new English soundtrack.  Admission is 
 $6.\n\n\nGuy Debord (1931-­1994) was the most influential figure in the 
 Situationist International, the small experimental group that played a key 
 role in provoking the May 1968 revolt in France. The Society of the 
 Spectacle  is Debord's film adaptation of his own 1967 book of the same 
 name. As passages from the book are read in voiceover the text is 
 illuminated, via direct illustration or various types of ironic contrast, 
 by clips from Russian and Hollywood features (including Potemkin, Ten Days 
 That Shook the World, Johnny Guitar, Mr. Arkadin, etc.), TV commercials, 
 softcore porn, and news and documentary footage, including glimpses of 
 Spain 1936, Hungary '56, Watts '65, France '68 and other revolts of the 
 past. Intertitle quotes from Marx, Machiavelli, Clausewitz or Tocqueville 
 occasionally break the flow.\n\nFor this showing Hugo Ball Room Labs has 
 taken the crisp new DVD version of the French film and dubbed in Ken 
 Knabb's translation as read by Dore Bowen, making it finally possible for 
 you, the non-French speaker to appreciate the complex relation between text 
 and images, instead of reading your way through subtitles.\n
