Gulf War TV War

Directed by Michel Auder

Gulf War TV War was made in one of Auder's usual domestic modes: filming his TV, in which he documents American television news during the run-up to the first Gulf War, a mixture of crass propaganda and feeble journalism, image and text. Montages of antiwar demonstrators marching across Manhattan and gray-faced politicians at dark desks extolling invasion compete with commercials and text scrolling the pixilated screen.
