TALKING TECHNOPHOBIA IN FILM

Technophobia in Film:
A Film Discussion Class

“Be afraid. Be very afraid.” From the very beginning, Hollywood movies have offered a frightening reflection of our deep fear of technology, its effects, and sinister implications. Time-traveling terminators, resurrected dinosaurs, alien invasions, and virtual prisons all give us a sense of just how terrified Hollywood writers, directors, and producers think we are (or should be).

In this class we will investigate popular, pivotal movies and discuss their fears, warnings, and possible solutions to this ever-increasing cultural technophobia. Discussion topics will include: “the mad scientist and you,” “ghosts in the machines,” “malfunctioning machinations,” “risks and rewards,” and “the power of human ingenuity.”

Throughout these classes, we will discuss Modern Times, Frankenstein, The Fly, Godzilla, War of the Worlds , 2001: A Space Oddessy, Moonraker, Blade Runner, Star Wars, The Matrix , and Wall-E.

Our next class will cover the 1999 sci-fi/action film, The Matrix (Wachowski), and touch upon the many conflicts with technology, ethics of artificial intelligence and surveillance, themes including “fate vs. choice,” and our cultural obsession with truth and meaning.

LMCTV at STEMtastic 2018

LMCTV was at STEM-tasic Friday March 16, 2018 at the Hommock’s Middle School. Hundreds of school aged students from various communities came together to learn, play and experience Science, Technology, Engineering and Math exhibits/”challenges.” LMCTV was happy to  document the event and be a part of it, by providing a Stop Motion Challenge.  Each participant created their own mini-characters out of play dough and had to tell a short story using our stop motion program. You can check out the participants’ work below!

LMCTV's Studio Gets a Makeover!

“Where is the green room?” was a common question guests asked as they waited to be called into the studio for a taping. The solution was to make the room greener!  Enlisting the help of Jamie Lynn, the owner of  M.A.D.E. (My Art and Design Experience), LMCTV has beautified their studio space.  It took about 12 hours, with the help of volunteers and employees of LMCTV to create this inspiring wall.  You can come to the studio anytime Monday- Friday 12pm-8pm to see this imaginative wall in real life, and then walk down the street to Boston Post Road to M.A.D.E and let our neighbor know what great  job she did!  For over 30 years, LMCTV has been the place where community and creativity come together.  Let our green room be a stepping point into your next creation!  For more information on LMCTV, its programs and its offerings, please contact COO Matt Sullivan at 914-381-2002 x 202, or email him at msullivan@lmctv.org.
