Downtown Voices Coalition, Modified Arts, and No Festival Required present “Malls R Us,” a documentary film by Helene Klodawsky:
- Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2009
- Time: 8 p.m. (doors at 7:45 p.m.)
- Place: Modified Arts, 407 E. Roosevelt, Phoenix
- Admission: $6 ($1 off with student ID)
Combining nostalgia, dazzling architecture, pop culture, economics, and politics, “Malls R Us” examines North America’s most popular and profitable suburban destination — the enclosed shopping center — and how for consumers they function as a communal, even ceremonial experience and, for retailers, sites where their idealism, passion, and greed merge.
