Video Killed the Radio Star
76 min, English, Digital, United Kingdom
Early independent video releases were the revolutionary, DIY antidote to a television system that was only just gearing up to a fourth channel. They bypassed censorship and provided a platform to the marginalised and unsanctioned. This eclectic selection includes a very rare title by John Smith and punchy, stuttering Scratch Video works by the Duvet Brothers, Kim Flitcroft and Sandra Goldbacher, Gorilla Tapes, and George Barber.
