Advertising is visual pollution

Posted on 14. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.

‘Advertisers don’t care about you or your neighbourhood – they care about your eyeballs’. A strong message from a new documentary film called This Space Available, which deals with the issue of ‘visual pollution’ or billboard advertising.

So are the 99% set to turn their crosshairs from the bankers towards the advertisers who only care about consumer LSMs and target markets [as if there was a war going on] instead of real people? Who knows. Watch this space.

Babies – the movie

Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

This is a trailer for a new documentary movie called ‘Babies’. It follows the life story [from birth to first steps] of 4 different babies located in Namibia, Mongolia, Japan and San Fransisco. It looks really interesting from an anthropological point of view. Once again some great film-making for a genre that seems to be a growing trend in popularity.
