Steve Kurtz movie showing through Thursday

Hi all,
Strange Culture is a documentary film about my former professor Steven Kurtz of Critical Art Ensemble. It is showing only through Thursday night at the Regent Square Theater in Pittsburgh. A short blurb about the film: "The surreal nightmare of former CMU professor Steve Kurtz, an internationally-acclaimed artist, began when his wife Hope died in her sleep of heart failure. Police arrived, became suspicious of Kurtz’s art, and called the FBI. Within hours the artist was detained as a suspected “bio-terrorist” as agents in haz-mat suits sifted through his work and impounded his computers, manuscripts, books, his cat, and even his wife’s body. Today Kurtz and his long-time collaborator Robert Ferrell, former Chair of the Genetics Department at Pitt’s Graduate School of Public Health, await a trial date."
