During the last week, I've done a couple of presentations on
'Surveillance in Speculative Fiction', leveraging off our earlier
discussions on this list. (Thanks to everyone who contributed!).
URLs below.
Films mentioned include (in addition to several already notified):
- the French film 'Caché' (2005, released to English markets as 'Hidden')
- La mort en direct / Death Watch (1980) - a film adaptation of
The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe (UK title), aka
The Unsleeping Eye (US title), D.G. Compton, 1973
- Minority Report, 2002
Delegates mentioned several earlier films that invoked the notion of
iris and/or retina scanning - Thunderball, The Andromeda Strain,
Cyborg, and maybe Demolition Man
Some others:
- Gattaca (1997)
- Enemy of the State (1998)
- 1984
- Rear Window
- Surveillance (2008)
[I'm assuming none of us have to *recommend* them, just list them (:-)} ]
