The Industrial Society of the Spectacle and its Future
written and directed by Lee Wells

This is the first trailer released in advance of feature film currently in production.

FREEDOM CLUB is a modern day science fiction faerie tale about love, revolution and freedom in the post-technological era.

Based loosely on the writings of Guy Debord (Society of the Spectacle) and Ted Kaczynski (Industrial Society and its Future), Created in collaboration through the Soap Box Opera Workshop with IFAC-Arts, Artists Meeting, Perpetual Art Machine and BB Entertainment.

SOAP BOX OPERA WORKSHOP is a project developed by the collective Artists Meeting. Honing in on the dramaturgy of theory, the group has adapted excerpts from a variety of scholarly and art-theory-based texts from different eras and genres to a Soap Opera filmic format whereby plots are reduced to one liners, drama is played out in an exaggerated manner and scenes rely on emotional turmoil and ambiguity to capture the distracted viewer.

Project Curators: James Andrews, Raphaele Shirley, Olga Lysenko

Excerpts of Arthur Rimbaud, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Andy Warhol directed by Raphaele Shirley

Excerpts of Guy Debord and Ted Kaczynski directed by Lee Wells

-----

Artists Meeting is a New York City based art collective. Brought together by chance, circumstance, and a common purpose, Artists Meeting members gather in person and via technology. Free of commercial influence, participants draw on each others expertise to refine concepts, further experimentation and engage each other in collaboration. Since it's official start in 2006, they have had public art projects in Conflux 2008 and the Dumbo Arts Festival 2007, and at Postmaster Gallery in 2008 and 2009.
