DVAM Film and talkback: Another Body

A discussion and Q&A will follow the film, with Project Sage's Kristen van Ginhoven, Executive Director; Linda Ciano, Director of Community Engagement; and Virginia Gold, Director of Client Services.

Directors: Sophie Compton, Reuben Hamlyn
Writers: Sophie Compton, Reuben Hamlyn, Isabel Freeman

Another Body follows a college student's search for justice after she discovers deepfake pornography of herself circulating online. We live in a time when videos or images created by artificial intelligence are indistinguishable from the real thing. This riveting documentary highlights a serious problem with AI that can, in some cases, ruin lives. The subject in this case embarks on a harrowing journey into the dark world of deepfake technology to find answers, justice, and to reclaim her true identity.
1hr 20mins / NR

The Revolutionary Love Project - A Workshop in Collaboration with The Center on Main

The Revolutionary Love Project - A Workshop in Collaboration with The Center on Main

In this interactive workshop and guided art practice, participants are encouraged to reflect on the power of love in their lives, recognize moments of kindness or support that had a significant impact, and share these insights to build empathy and compassion.

Participants will begin by reflecting on the guiding question, “When did an act of love change everything?” Through thoughtful introspection and journaling, participants will explore moments when they felt truly seen, supported, or understood by another.

Participants will then design a vision board that visually represents their response to the guiding question. By piecing together materials such as magaziones, newspapers, printed images, colored paper, and other craft supplies, participants will visually transform the small and large acts of love they have experienced into a powerful call for solidarity, unity, compassion, and community.

There will be time at the end of the workshop for participants to come back together and, if they choose, share what they have created and speak about their reflections.

No experioence is necessary. All adult and young adult participants are welcome.

With cybercrime and digital abuse on the rise, it's important for everyone to be aware of the dangers and -- even more important – be ready with a plan for when something goes wrong. In this interactive, 90-minute workshop tailored specifically for adults age 55+, we begin by outlining some of the threats people face in today's digital world. We then examine how adults can assemble a team of trusted relatives, friends, and professionals and put together a plan of action for responding to whatever may come their way, from phishing scams to cyber harassment.
