"Sleep Dealer" with filmmaker Alex Rivera

A dystopian fable of globalization disguised as a science-fiction adventure, by a New York-based media artist whose work strives to address concerns of the Latino community through a highly stylized cinematic language of genre, satire, digital imaging, and anything else that might serve the cause.

Co-sponsored by the Arts Department at Rensselaer. Part of iEAR Presents!
