SXSW Film Sneak Peek: Erasing David-The Cost of Privacy

Liz Tramer — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:15:00 +0000

What would you do if I could tell you that I knew your mood on January 1, 2003, or your wife’s maiden name? What about where your parent’s lived, your food allergy or your personality type? You might think that this “big brother” society doesn’t exist, or since we’ve never met, I can’t possibly know that information. You’d be dead wrong. Erasing David proves without a reasonable doubt that we currently live in an Orwellian world, and most people are unknowing participants. When filmmaker David Bond received a government letter stating that his, and millions of others, data had been lost, including his name, birth date and bank details he was taken aback. David became curious about just how much personal information was available to the public. He decided to try and go off the grid for 30 days. His journey for privacy has astounding implications that will affect the way you conduct your everyday life.

Calvin Harris – Flashback (Ben Nicky Extended Rework) By far the best version of this track, this up-tempo, hard-trance disco version is filled with multivocal effects, swirling electro house beats and space-age electronica. This reproduction is uplifting, but doesn’t sacrifice the core elements of the tune.
