Daily Life Among the Pilgrims (excerpts)

Various excerpts from a 17 minute film.

A group of utopian radicals build their own spaceship and secede from humanity, using handheld cameras to document their new society in outer space. Inspired by the ideas of Buckminster Fuller, Gerard K. O'Neill, Charles Fourier, and Hakim Bey, the film serves both as a fictional document of the astronauts' activities, and an actual document of a group of young people playing pretend, creating a "temporary autonomous zone." Shot over the course of three months, the "space ship" was constructed mostly from trash and found materials, inside of a college dorm room.
