ICI (UNE LETTRE À CHANTAL AKERMAN)

Bram Van Paesschen

STARFIGHTER

'Starfighter' contains images of war scenes, ranging from simply figurative to invisible or almost erased. The images were filmed directly from the television screen with a Super 8 camera: blurred footage on a harrowing sound that illustrates particularly well a point Marshall McLuhan made: the media subtly manipulate information.
