The feature documentary, "Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death and Technology", offers an exhilarating stream-of-consciousness ride through the interconnectedness of humankind, nature, progress,and morality. With insight, curiosity, and humor, the film weaves both a personal and global story about interdependence. For centuries we’ve been declaring independence. This film asks if perhaps it’s time to declare our interdependence instead. "Connected" won the Women in Film National Geographic all Roads film Grant at Sundance 2011.
Director Tiffany Shlain is an award-winning filmmaker, artist, Internet pioneer, and activist. Founder of the Webby Awards and cofounder of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, she was honored by Newsweek as one of the “Women Shaping the 21st Century.” Shlain’s films are known for their whimsical yet provocative approach to unraveling complicated subjects, like politics, cultural identity, technology, and science. A screening of the film opened the Association of College and Research libraries conference last week in Philadelphia. Shlain was one of the keynote speakers at the conference.
The DVD is available in the library as part of a kit designed to facilitate conversation, questions, insight, action and change.
