Clanker Man

2018 · 11 min

A droll, slightly melancholy mockumentary that makes bureaucratic drudgery feel like the secret machinery holding reality together.

Directed by
Ben Steiner
Genres
Comedy, Documentary
Overview
Reality doesn't happen by itself. Terry Lothian works tirelessly to maintain the background details that we all take for granted. But with his department feeling the pinch of austerity cutbacks, it's not just the fabric of reality that's starting to unravel.
How it feels
Absurd, satirical, whimsical and melancholic. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
Work, madness, identity, class
Content
Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
