The Yes Men Fix the World
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
(Andy Bichlbaum, Mike Bonanno, 2008, USA, 35mm, 89 min)
Join the Yes Men, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, as they battle the free market mentality with their politically charged hijinks. Their method: select a corporation they dont like, set up a fake website and wait until theyre invited to speak at an event as a representative of said despised company. This time around, Andy and Mike take on Dow Chemical, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton and the governments response to Hurricane Katrina. Incorporating vintage cartoons and archival footage, Bichlbaum and Bonanno construct a fast-paced, highly entertaining look at their unique brand of activism. The absurdity of their actions may amuse, but the Yes Men have a serious point to make: business as usual is no longer acceptable.
Note: Please arrive 20 minutes prior to any screening. Seating is guaranteed up to 10 minutes prior to showtime.
