If you're looking for something to do on Tuesday night, may we suggest a screening of The Institute at the New Parkway Theater? If you ever heard of the Jejune Institute or have wondered about alternate reality gaming, this might be the movie for you!
"THE INSTITUTE is a feature-length documentary which examines a San
Francisco-based Alternate Reality Game, where thousands of participants
got more than they bargained for. Told from the players' perspectives,
the film looks over the precipice at an emergent new art form where the
real world and fiction narratives merge to create unforeseen and often
unsettling unsettling consequences."
ISSUES manager Jennie happened to play these games and has a bit part in the doc! Come throw popcorn at the screen at her! The director of the film Spencer McCall and producer Jeff Hull will also be hosting a discussion after the screening!
