Special Guests Spotlight: Greg Bokor and Cody Wilson in No Control
A gun-rights activist, Cody Wilson made headlines in 2013 when his company, Defense Distributed, published plans for the “Liberator,” a pistol reproducible by a 3D printer. In speaking about his rationale behind the design, Wilson told Glenn Beck, “This is a symbol of reversibility. They can never eradicate the gun from the earth.”
The artist Greg Bokor, on the other hand, develops an interactive installation consisting of an immense pencil drawing of an AR-15 assault rifle, incomplete until it’s erased by spectators with erasers handstamped with the names of shooting victims from Columbine High School in 1999; Virgina Tech in 2007; Aurora, and Newtown. An AR-15 was used by the perpetrators in both the Aurora and Sandy Hook Elementary shootings.
Both subjects are portrayed in Jessica Solce’s No Control, a provocative and meaningful exploration on the hot button issue of gun control. Wilson, Bokor and Solce will be in person for the films’ screenings.
