This experimental animated short takes a critical look at consumerism in a material world. Thousands of cut-out ads are presented in increasingly fragmented, rapid succession. The film's disorienting and hectic pace seeks to interrogate the extent to which seductive advertising is a shockingly strong force in shaping our desires, needs, and lives in contemporary capitalism.
This Is a Recorded Message was directed by Jean-Thomas Bédard.
This Is a Recorded Message runs for 10min, and was released in 1973.
