Public Domain Playhouse-Romps on South Beach
Delight in a trip to Public Domain Playhouse, Cinema Vortex's
innovative exploration of the strange and silly world of public
domain films. "Consumption Junction" examines that all-American
obsession - consumerism - through eyes literally alien to our
culture.
Come along as Martians from the public domain cult classic "Santa
Claus vs. the Martians" try their hardest to understand our culture -
- while under bombardment by a manic montage of TV dinners, mass
production, credit cards and more - all revealed in vintage film
clips tripping through American consumer culture from its tentative
beginnings in the '30s to its explosive development after World War
II.Public Domain Playhouse's latest screening is related to the
Wolfsonian collection and the role seductive imagery plays in
shaping consumer's desires -- and their purchases. Don't miss
this "Free Fridays at the Wolf" event presented by Cinema Vortex and
the Wolfsonian-FIU.It's all FREE and open to the public. The consumption starts at 7:00
pm Friday, May 12, at the Wolfsonian, located at 1001 Washington
