The Loving Trap a parody intro to #filmmaker Adam Curtis [#geekgirl]

In a round about way this in an introduction to filmmaker Adam Curtis. Adam Curtis’ aired his triology The Power of Nightmares via BBC in 2014. These are free to watch via the BBC 2 website. A series of three documentaries about the use of fear for political gain. If you know the work of Adam Curtis, his quirky and eccentric mashup style is no surprise.

Curtis’ latest programme Bitter Lake was made solely for the BBC iPlayer and aired Jan, 2015. The film is nearly two and a half hours long. It is experimental and uses footage, in ways that at first appear random, to construct a narrative that attempts to explain the complexities of the modern world. For the uninitiated Curtizon let’s start via a Ben Woodhams parody of his life and work. Youtube trailer for Bitter Lake a constant state of destabilized perception’ – 2015.
