The Force Among Us On the Big Screen

Posted By Dustin on June 11, 2009

The Force Among Us makes its official big screen debut Friday June 12th 2009 - for one night only the documentary will be shown at the Gene Siskel film center at 8pm. Tickets are limited and can be purchased in advance at http://www.siskelfilmcenter.org. limited copies of the film are also still avail on dvd at the films website (www.theforceamongus.com). Cris and Cort will also be on WGN morning news the day of the event as well

On the eve of the Film Center’s tribute to George Lucas, the Chicago-based brother-and-sister filmmaking team of Cristian and Cortney Macht take us deep inside the world of STAR WARS fandom. Sociology profs ponder the phenomenon, Joseph Campbell is name-checked, Christian parallels are explored, the 501st Legion of costumed stormtroopers converges at a convention, and the Machts follow fans on pilgrimages to the original movie locations in Tunisia and Norway. Along the way, they discover that STAR WARS fans are a varied and unstereotyped lot about whom no blanket generalizations can be drawn--except, perhaps, a universal dislike for Jar Jar Binks. Beta SP video. (MR) Filmmakers Cristian Macht and Cortney Macht will be present for audience discussion.
