Posted by Fabio 14 December 2009
This 8 minute film directed by Godfrey Reggio in 1995, still looks amazing today. “Evidence” looks into the eyes of children watching television – in this case Walt Disney’s “Dumbo”. Though engaged in a daily routine, they appear drugged and retarded. “Evidence” is an opportunity in a few minutes to witness the effects of a technology that has gained acceptance the world-over without question.
