SIUC alumnus Josh Hyde will screen his recent feature film, Postales:
In the ancient cobblestone streets of Cuzco, Peru, a postcard-selling street kid, Pablo, encounters a 12-year old American tourist girl, Mary.
Her fascination with the Andean culture and his desire to understand a life beyond his own helps them transcend the language barrier. As their innocent curiosity grows into young love, they soon find it isn't the only connection they share.

Studio 27
Please visit Studio 27 for a detailed description of the work shown in this program.
Studio 27 presents a program of experimental films and videos that offer visions of aborted utopias and fragmented futures. In some of these pieces, alternate routes of empowerment are explored, while others offer dystopian maps for commodified or isolated living. Future relationships between technology and biology hint at or directly demand technological intervention on the very essence of life. Other videos poke fun at the neurotic rigors of obsessive leisure gardening, or muse on the beauty of nature and its precarious position in the hands of humans. Finally, some of the works celebrate the utopic spaces of sea, industry, and flesh, consuming these environments with sensual rhapsody.
