Overview
A sponsorship grant to Columbia University will support the Hacker Film Festival. The goals of the festival are (a) to create a new forum for discussion about hacking, cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, and the larger relationship with technology; (b) to expand connections between the cyber community and the broader public; and (c) to demystify hacker culture and cyber-related issues. The event will speak to a more expansive mixed audience, moving beyond the closed doors and jargon of conference room policy discussions. Featuring senior figures from the earliest days of cyberwarfare, hacking, and espionage — along with screenwriters, directors, and authors — the festival will explore how each selected film has in some way shaped our collective understanding of cybersecurity and hacker culture.

for the Center for Political Economy
The Center for Political Economy at Columbia University aims to identify and advance the most promising post-2008 developments within economics, and promote a new political economy, distinctive for our time, with an institutional, cross-disciplinary orientation connecting economics to law, political science, sociology, public health, engineering, and data science, with philosophical underpinnings. The center will gather initiatives and individual scholarly programs already underway, helping faculty span disciplines and fields of inquiry while anchoring a series of investigations into fundamental topics. The center will also seed new research, scholarly publications, and policy outputs and foster curricular materials that will feed into textbooks and coursework. At the core of its work, the center will develop idea labs concerned with such vital areas as firm size and antitrust, work and labor, money and finance, climate change, and inequalities. This grant provides general (program) support for the Center for Political Economy at Columbia University.
