Since I have not seen all of the movies listed here, I can only strongly recommend (instead of wishfully require) that design students watch Koyannisqatsi, a film produced by Francis Ford Coppola. While several new movie initiatives present clear problems and prescribe specific remedies, Coppola's 1982 (timeless)motion picture invites contemplation and discussion of alternative modes of interpretation and remediation regarding our roles in the environment/life. The film is available at Lied Library. Email me if you want to watch and discuss.
