" r,: ua i fA 6A - Thursday, March 24, 2011 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Experience 'Utopia' at Penny Stamps talk 'U' alum's film presented with live soundtrack By DANIEL CARLIN Daily Arts Writer After a star-studded week of film shootings in Ann Arbor, one would expect things to cool down a bit. But thanks to Utopia in Four the Ann Arbor Movements Film Festival, which began Tomorrow at this week, 5:10 p.m. filmmaking will remain Michigan Theater a focal point Free on campus. Tonight, the Penny W. Stamps Lecture Series will welcome 'U' alum and Academy Award nomi- nee Sam Green to share his film, "Utopia in Four Movements." Green premiered the piece at the 2010 Sundance Film Festi- val and spent the last year trav- eling around the world - from Turkey to Boston - screening the film. "Utopia in Four Move- ments" allows audiences to think about the future in a more posi- tive light. "The purpose of the piece - in sort of a poetic way - is to try to examine the question of why we are living in an anti-utopian time," Green said in an inter- view with The Michigan Daily. "Today, most people probably don't think that the future is goingto look that great, so we are examining that (idea)." The film looks at four exam- ples, as hinted in its title, that have tried to demonstrate some sort of utopian vision. For exam- ple, it examines the language Esperanto, which was created in the late-19th century under the belief that a universal and neu- tral language could potentially prevent war. It was a utopian idea that may not have succeed- ed, but many people did (and some still do) believe in the lan- guage's power. Though Green's other films, like his Academy Award-nom- inated "The Weather Under- ground," are presented in a more traditional fashion, "Uto- pia" acts as a theatrical perfor- mance and a film. Green narrates each screening live alongside Brooklyn-based band The Qua- vers and sound artist/musician David Cerf who synthesizes the live documentary's soundtrack together. Ann Arbor's perfor- mance will also feature Brendan Canty on the drums, who is noto- rious for his association with the punk-rock band Fugazi. While "Utopia" is breaking the mold of the familiar film-going, Green is not pretentious or even stuffy about this experimental way of sharing cinema. "I am excited to do this in the Penny Stamps lecture because this is a fancy-ass lecture, you know?" Green said. "When's the last time you saw someone give a lecture and saw them bring their own live band to do a soundtrack?" Green first became interested in filmmaking while at the Uni- versity. As a student of the Resi- dential College, he spent time working for a group called Mich- igan Media, which consisted of students going into classrooms and lectures to help set up pro- jectors and other equipment to share multimedia with students. Though the technology at the University has developed since Green's time here, he is still interested in the connection between live engagement and multimedia. "Live performance made me realize that in the world today, as a filmmaker, you need to accept that people are going to watch your films on a laptop while checking their email - where a Sam Green premiered "Utopia in Four Movements" at Sundance in 2010. people don't need to give their full attention," Green said. With limited distractions for moviegoers, Green hopes view- ers will experience the content in a new and exciting way. "I love the theatrical experi- ence of going to a theater, sitting with strangers, lights go down and the magic of the cinema," Green said. "You lose yourself in something. I wanted to make something that would be seen in a theatrical context." MUST SELL - Lender OREO Liqui- dation Sale- ALL OFFERS CONSID- ERED: 32 lot sub. w/all utilities Belleville, MI.
