The Institute is a 2013 documentary film directed by Spencer McCall reconstructing the story of the "Jejune Institute", an alternate reality game set in San Francisco, through interviews with the participants and the creators. The game was produced in 2008 by Oakland-based artist Jeff Hull. Over the course of three years, it enrolled more than 10,000 players who, responding to eccentric flyers plastered all over the city, started the game by receiving their "induction" at the fake headquarters of the Institute, located in an office building in San Francisco's Financial District.

Synopsis

Des milliers de participants à un jeu de réalité alternative basé à San Francisco finissent par obtenir plus que ce qu'ils avaient négocié. Raconté du point de vue des joueurs, le film traite d'une nouvelle forme d'art émergente où le monde réel et les récits fictifs fusionnent pour créer des conséquences imprévues et souvent troublantes. Passant en revue la contre-culture, les nouveaux mouvements religieux et l'art de la rue, ce film entraîne le spectateur dans un voyage dans un monde souterrain secret grouillant juste sous la surface de la vie quotidienne.

Mêlant réalité et fiction, ce docudrame dresse un portrait des dessous souvent sordides de la ville de Naples. Ferrara s'est rendue en Italie pour interviewer les détenues de la prison d'État de Naples Pozzuoli, un établissement de haute sécurité pour femmes, et avec l'aide d'un traducteur, il permet à un certain nombre de femmes en prison de parler de leur vie avant et après leur condamnation. Ferrara a choisi d'élargir le court profil des prisonniers en un long métrage en offrant un aperçu de la vie dans les bidonvilles de Naples et des actions d'un certain nombre d'agents chargés de l'application des lois et de travailleurs sociaux luttant pour améliorer les conditions des pauvres, ainsi qu'en ajoutant trois courts segments fictifs tirés d'un équipement vidéo numérique.

Cocaine Cowboys chronicles the development of the illegal drug trade in Miami during the 1970s and 1980s with interviews of both law enforcement and organized crime leaders, in addition to news footage from the era. The film reveals that in the 1960s and early 1970s, marijuana was the primary import drug into the region. During the 1970s, marijuana imports were replaced by the much more lucrative cocaine imports; as more cocaine was smuggled into the United States, the price dropped, allowing it to turn "blue collar," and be available to a wider market. Drug importers reveal several of the different methods used to import the drug into Florida.

The documentary painted a hopeless and pessimistic view of the violence in the city. At the time Little Rock was one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Sitting at the intersection of two major interstates from Los Angeles and New York, Little Rock had become a haven for drug trafficking. There were prominent gang presences of Bloods, Crips and Hoover's Folk Nation.
