Humanity - The Movie (a parody about humanity and modern life in particular) [possible satire]
Intelligent (?) and Conscious (?) People
Abstract
Humanity is a screenplay for a movie that aims to be a parody about humanity and modern life in particular. It tells the story of a day in the life of a Semitic city in Canaan circa the year 500 B.C. Each scene is dedicated to one of the city’s elements: The Cathedral (OK - an altar with a priest), the Bazaar, the Well, the Wall, etc.
The original Humanity project, back in 2000 was my opening shot of the the open content / Web 2.0 revolution aiming to be a "bazaar-style" collaborative project for writing a screenplay. It failed due to the clunky CVS UI, but nowadays collaboratively written screenplays are common - only using wiki software or git DVCS or similar.

About
The original Humanity project, back in 2000 was my opening shot of the the open content / Web 2.0 revolution aiming to be a "bazaar-style" collaborative project for writing a screenplay. It failed due to the clunky CVS UI, but nowadays collaboratively written screenplays are common - only using wiki software or git DVCS or similar.
I originally envisioned the film with the first written scenes as having been written and filmed by a Bajoran extraterrestrial (but human-like) visitor to Earth, during an extended period of Mania around 1997. He came to Earth to study its cultures, and Humanity was his way of parodying and paying tribute to them. I also imagined that the Terran film crew filmed it using 2-D equipment, but it ended up as a 3-D film.
