"Fair Game," with Doug Liman on Hollywood & the CIA
Wednesday, March 2
6:00 to 9:00pm
The CIA figures prominently in several of director Doug Liman's movies, as well as his TV series Covert Affairs. Join us for a screening of Fair Game, a taut and gripping docudrama, based on events in the lives of CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband Joe Wilson, a former career diplomat. When Wilson was sent to Niger by the CIA to verify White House claims that the African state of Niger had been selling yellowcake to Iraq, he concluded the intelligence was false. When he dared to challenge publicly the Bush administration's facts, his wife was outed as a spy and her identity leaked to a Washington Post columnist. The movie focuses on the couple's struggle to save their careers, reputations and marriage.
Doug Liman, director, Swingers, Go, The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Fair Game; and executive producer, The Bourne Ultimatum and FX television series, Covert Affairs

Shadyac's newest film, I Am, documents his search for what is wrong with the world and how we can make it better. For answers, he visited many countries and met with a wide variety of philosophers and truth-seekers from the worlds of science, philosophy and faith.Join us for a fascinating movie and discussion!

Douglas Rushkoff: "Program or Be Programmed"
Tuesday, March 29
6:30 to 8:00 pm
Media theorist, techno-visionary and author, Douglas Rushkoff, asks the question: Do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves be directed by itand those who have mastered it? "Choose the former," says Rushkoff, "and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you will get to make." Rushkoff picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off, helping readers to recognize programming as the new literacy, and as a template through which we can see beyond long held social conventions and power structures. Hear from Rushkoff on his ten commands: guidelines to navigate the digital universe.
