Media Primer

A cerebral, essayistic video experiment that makes you think about how cameras shape behavior, more interesting than entertaining.

Directed by

Ira Schneider, Raindance

Overview

Raindance's Media Primers reflect the group's iconoclastic theories of television and video, and their engagement with alternative and mass media, pop culture and the counter-culture. The themes addressed - media manipulation, the camera's role in modifying individual behavior - illustrate their experiments with the technological and conceptual underpinnings of 1/2-inch portable video.
