“Be afraid. Be very afraid.” From the very beginning, Hollywood movies have offered a frightening reflection of our deep fear of technology, its effects, and sinister implications. Time-traveling terminators, resurrected dinosaurs, alien invasions, and virtual prisons all give us a sense of just how terrified Hollywood writers, directors, and producers think we are (or should be).
In this class we will investigate popular, pivotal movies and discuss their fears, warnings, and possible solutions to this ever-increasing cultural technophobia. Discussion topics will include: “the mad scientist and you,” “ghosts in the machines,” “malfunctioning machinations,” “risks and rewards,” and “the power of human ingenuity.”
“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”
This month on “Talking Technophobia in Film,” we grab our hover boards, crank up the volume on Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B Goode,” and climb into a DeLorean for the Back to the Future Trilogy (1985-1990).
We will touch upon prophetic and predictive technologies, the paradoxes of time-travel, and the power of the Nostalgia Cycle. Some themes will include the “mad scientist,” “fate vs. free-will,” and “failure.”

Over the past several months, LMCTV and Good For You Productions worked extensively with local businesses, institutions, non-profits, and municipalities to offer a unique look into the vibrancy of the communities we serve. “The Experience” is a culmination of our efforts to shine a light on the wonderful local flavor of Larchmont and Mamaroneck; from libraries, to our wonderful local organizations like the CRC and Girl Scouts, to our thriving businesses and restaurants, LMCTV is so proud to call Larchmont and Mamaroneck “Home.” We would like to thank everyone who participated and if you would like to be in future installments of this video series, please contact Executive Director Matt Sullivan @ msullivan@lmctv.org or (914) 381-2002 x 202.
