In this disturbing/wierd 1995 film titled Evidence by Koyaanisqatsi director Godfrey Reggio, the camera is turned on the viewer - in this case a group of young children watching television. The extreme closeups of the children’s zombie-like faces plus the music by Philip Glass create an ominous tone that seems appropriate in a time when children watch an average of three to four hours of television a day (AACAP). Wait until the end to find out what the kids are watching!

Here is a quote from the experimental documentary filmmaker himself,

“It’s not that we use technology, we live technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence. So what I decided to do in making these films is to rip out all the foreground of a traditional film–the foreground being the actors, the characterization, the plot, the story–I tried to take the background, all of that that’s just supported like wallpaper, move that up into the foreground, make that the subject, ennoble it with the virtues of portraiture, and make that the presence.”
