Guerrilla Theatre Film Screening: “Ant Farm” | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Mills College for a screening of Space, Land and Time: Underground Adventures with Ant Farm (2011), followed by a Q&A with original Ant Farm members, Chip Lord and Curtis Schreier.

Before Burning Man, before The Yes Men, before South Park, before flash mobs, there was Ant Farm, the San Francisco-based, prototypical underground culture jamming architectural firm and performance art and media collective whose antics and anarchic guerrilla theatre paved the way for future armies of freethinkers and public artists.

This film, directed by Elizabeth Federici and Laura Harrison, is a potent combination of video, music, animation and editing that captures the spirit of this underground group, which mixed political subversion and goofy good times to create an art movement that resonates today.

The film will screen at the Danforth Lecture Hall, Mills College. The event is presented in conjunction with West of Center: Art and the Counterculture Experiment in America, 1965-1977, on view at MCAM from June 12- September 1, 2013.
