Part III: The New Criticism or The Left March | <<<
Today, film, video, and the television industry are declaring their right to dictate morality, ideology and control thought in a more and more authoritarian manner. The plot, the characters and the scenery have become little more then a mask concealing their main objective: to exert an undue influence over the viewer's psyche. The only stated aim of the "films" made by MAK and Moses under the Dangerous Video moniker, is to demonstrate the workings of "psycho technologies" - dangerous and prohibited ways of influencing the viewer. The videos are completely devoid of such niceties as plot and character. For safety's sake, special warnings precede each film.
This project has been realised with generous support of
Pro Arte Institute and The Ford Foundation.
