The Movies of Adam Curtis

I've just put The Century of the Self up on my blog. It was real easy to use the insert video function.

If you have not heard of Adam Curtis or seen his movies, this is a good start. Very thought provoking. Examines the media with media. You could say a self-reflexive discourse.

This one along with two more can be found on Google Video. I put The Power of Nightmares up here.

I put them up because I find Google Video awkward to navigate. The third one The Trap - What Happened to our Dream of Freedom is his latest but the third part is divided into three parts, making it five parts online. I am hoping to find the third part as a single piece. Then I'll put it up somewhere.

His technique is interesting because his movies are constructed from archived footage. His biggest problem is clearing the rights to all the little pieces. Shows what you can do with other people's footage.
