Calling All Docuseries Nerds: 'History of the Sitcom' is a Joyful Time-capsule
If your upbringing was anything like mine, where the TV acted as an additional parent- there are so many new stories and perspectives to explore.
A Movie by Jen Proctor (2010)
A loving remake of Bruce Conner’s seminal 1958 found footage film A Movie using appropriated material from YouTube and LiveLeak. As a remake, the video provides a parallel narrative that explores the changes in historical and visual icons from 1958 to 2010 – and those images that remain surprisingly, and delightfully, the same. The work also comments on the pervasiveness of footage available for appropriation in an online world, and the way disparate threads in the YouTube and LiveLeak databases can be assembled to create “a movie.”
