Report
Why this pick
Conner’s compressed collage of broadcast imagery, repetition and sonic disruption extends the confrontational found-footage grammar of A Movie into a sharply political audiovisual experience.

01
02
The Atomic Cafe
Why this pick
Its entirely archival construction finds absurdity and menace in official Cold War media, using juxtaposition rather than narration to make familiar images newly unsettling.
03
Decasia
Why this pick
A more hypnotic, elegiac cousin to Conner’s assemblage: deteriorating archival film becomes the subject, creating powerful meaning through texture, rhythm and collision rather than conventional story.
04
Los Angeles Plays Itself
Why this pick
Its densely edited clips turn movie imagery into cultural criticism. It is more essayistic than A Movie, yet similarly alert to how montage can expose ideology inside familiar screen images.
05
The Devil Never Sleeps
Why this pick
Portillo’s investigative film combines home movies, television fragments and direct inquiry with an incisive, playful editorial intelligence that echoes Conner’s distrust of supposedly neutral images.
