Institutional knowledge
Stealing fiction from fact, The Institute is a bold, mind-warping documentary film for the brave new world where “actors” weave the story of the Jejune Institute, which hosted a complex, thrilling game, designed by Jeffrey Hull, and played by thousands of people using San Francisco’s urban landscape as its venue. Director Spencer McCall blends topics like socio-reengineering, force fields, algorithms, and false prophets into an artful, visually rich collision with reality.
Saturday 4/27 $8.50, 7:30pm, Bantam Theater, 609 E. Market St. 566-2987.
