Predictable, but Fun
Thursday, July 2, 6 - 7:30pm
Investigating love and marriage through the lens of our technology-embedded culture, this documentary is about wedding-gown designers in Israel and Palestine. While their lives and art differ notably, they have similar conversations with their clients and use similar technological platforms to conduct business. The movie explores how the Internet changes the way we understand intimacy, the role of technology in our lives and how digital platforms are used in our daily communication. A Q&A with director Grace Shulner will follow the screening. Presented by the MFA Interaction Design Department.
