![]() Wal-Mart has a large site and "they could wind up selling off parcels and developing in a more compact manner,'' Jeremiah said. " At this point they have indicated that they are interested in working with us.'' "We are just starting to work with the new representatives at Wal-Mart to get a better sense of how interested they may be in redevelopment,'' Jeremiah said. Jeremiah said she thinks it's possible that the city and Wal-Mart can both achieve their goals. Wal-Mart has said it would like to turn the store into a super center. The city figures it would have space for about 600 new units of housing.Įden Prairie Community Development Director Janet Jeremiah said Wal-Mart is welcome to stay where it is if it does not enlarge its store. The "town center" is one of the most ambitious parts of Eden Prairie's 2030 planning guide, which the city - like every other locality in the metro area - has sent to the Metropolitan Council for approval.Įden Prairie's hope is that private developers will recast the area that is now home to Wal-Mart, Emerson Process Management and the Brunswick Zone bowling alleys, transforming it into an area of four- to six-story buildings with commercial establishments at street level and housing above. While stressing that they don't want to drive business out of town, council members in December unanimously approved the future town center concept, Main Street and all. He asked that the city revise its plans to "reflect accurately Wal-Mart's plans for the future of its property,'' and to "modify the plan so that it no longer shows a new road that would bi-sect the Wal-Mart site.''Ĭity surveys have found that Eden Prairie residents are eager for a downtown where people can live and walk to shops, restaurants and transit, city officials say. Wal-Mart likes its Eden Prairie location and plans to stay put, regional vice president Michael Gardner said in a letter to Mayor Phil Young. An all-new "Main Street" would even cut right across Wal-Mart's existing parking lot. The city's concept calls for smaller, pedestrian-oriented businesses forming a new 100-acre downtown that would completely encompass the current Wal-Mart site. Wal-Mart has urged Eden Prairie to alter its redevelopment plans for the area north of Eden Prairie Mall to take its store out of the plan. Seating is limited and first come, first served.Ĭlose-up of a woman’s eyes from the documentary film “Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power.Eden Prairie envisions a new "town center'' in its future, and Wal-Mart - to the company's dismay - has a store right in the middle of it.

After the screening, Menkes, a 1989 graduate of TFT’s MFA production program, will be in conversation with Maya Smukler, a film scholar and author, and film editor Nancy Richardson. The event, hosted by the TFT Department of Film, Television and Digital Media, will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by the screening at 7 p.m. The film features interviews with an all-star cast of women and non-binary industry professionals including Rosanna Arquette, Julie Dash and Catherine Hardwicke. ![]() Menkes shows how these not-so-subtle embedded messages are tied to sexual abuse and assault in Hollywood. The film illuminates the patriarchal narrative codes that hide within supposedly “classic” set-ups and camera angles and demonstrates how women are frequently displayed as objects for the use, support and pleasure of male subjects. Using clips from hundreds of movies - from “Metropolis” to “Vertigo” to “Phantom Thread” - Menkes makes the argument that shot design is gendered. Join the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television for a special screening of “Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power,” independent filmmaker Nina Menkes’ documentary about the sexual politics of cinematic shot design, at the James Bridges Theater. ![]()
