Hello All:

A few come to mind, film and television:

1. Terry Gilliam's "Brazil;"

2. Spielberg's "Minority Report;"

3. The HBO series, "The Wire;" (of course)

4. A little known anti-technology film called "Virtuosity;"

5. Gattaca;

D

If more come to mind . . .

Hello everyone

I’m trying to compile a list of surveillance films for the SSN website (among other things).

So, what are your favourite surveillance films? ‘The Lives of Others’ wins hands down for me! Enemy of the State and The Matrix (the first one) are Hollywood’s best contributions…but anyone who knows me will realize that film isn’t my strong point.

Apols if this has been done before on the list but I had a quick search in our archives and couldn’t find anything. If you have a favourite documentary (e.g. Suspect Nation, for example) then please mention that too.

Thanks a lot

Kirstie

To respond well to change requires that we recognize new and evolving social practices and structures, as we decisively face the architecture and limits of our preconceptions.
