The Squeaky Wheel will host a screening of Level Five (Chris Marker, France 1997, 106 min.)

Laura, a French programmer, is tasked with creating a video game about the Battle of Okinawa. Using the internet to conduct her research she is led down a rabbit hole of philosophical debates, while she tries to make sense of her own history in relation to human history. Released when the internet was still in its infancy, Level Five (104min, 1997) offers a startlingly prophetic vision of the ability to archive and alter history, while probing the limitations of human memory. The film is a mesmerizing and utterly unique hybrid of documentary and science fiction.
