Sundance: Stars, snow, and social cyborgs

Back in the early days of the Sundance Film Festival, when video was considered an emerging technology, there were independent filmmakers, and there were technologists. The two didn't typically go hand in hand.

Fast forward to this year's festival, which starts Thursday and will for the first time feature a 3D film, and indies and techies are one and the same. These days, it's near impossible to be the former without being the latter, what with the conveniences and opportunities that come with the likes of high-definition cameras, advanced editing software, and the Internet as a distribution tool.

So it's no surprise that the 2008 festival--an increasingly star-studded 10-day indie-film showcase in snowy Park City, Utah--has stepped up its technology-related programming.

Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence

They ask how we can speak of free elections when the Saigon press is censored and controlled by the military junta. And they are surely right to wonder what kind of new government we plan to help form without them, the only party in real touch with the peasants. They question our political goals and they deny the reality of a peace settlement from which they will be excluded. Their questions are frighteningly relevant.

Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and non-violence, when it helps us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know of his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition.

In many of Camden's designs, the colors change depending on the viewer's vantage point. Once the gate is completed, it is given a clear-powder coat, adding protection and sheen.His gates have a three-dimensional quality to them. A horse's mane ripples on one gate.

Writing a piece used to take me five minutes. It takes me a day now," he says.

Writing and relying on his recollection of Austin's rich history is good for Pryor. "Having difficulty remembering a password is quite typical, but his writing skills will remain intact because whenever he writes, it will be about things familiar to him like his distant past," says David Lipschitz, a leading geriatrician, chairman of the Ronald W.
