The Yes Men Fix The World

October 30th-November 2nd

The Yes Men are anti-corporate pranksters who create phony Web sites
to get themselves invited to high-level corporate conferences and
media events - where they give hilarious, Swiftian analyses that
unmask global injustice and satirize human rights abuses. They are the
21st century's answer to Timothy Leary's proselytizing for acid and
Ken Kesey's busload of hipsters. The big difference is that they care
less about changing minds than changing policy. But announcing, as
spokespeople for Dow Chemical, that they will at last take full
financial responsibility for the victims of Bhopal, they create a
media sensation that embarrasses the real powers that be. And,
outfitted in their wacky "survival ball" getups, the Yes Men address a
room full of straight-laced suits who don't think there's anything
funny about going to insane lengths to assure one's personal safety in
the event of any and all calamities. The Yes Men don't exactly speak
truth to power. But their hearts are in the right place -- right next
to their funny bones. Written, directed and produced by Andy Bichlbaum
and Mike Bonnano. Co-directed by Kurt Engfehr. Running time: 87 mins.
Showtimes: Nightly at 7:00 & 8:45. Addtional Saturday and Sunday
matinees at (3:00) & 5:00.
