Home Is Where You're Happy
16mm, MiniDV, and VHS, 31:00 minutes, 2003 Home Is Where You're Happy is a collection of six interrelated shorts that explore media-induced fear, anxiety, and toxic masculinity in post-9/11 USA. "Not willing to be absorbed into primetime programming, Jeremy Drummond's Home is Where You're Happy takes a stab at pop culture and literally draws blood. He amplifies the paranoia of sexuality in contemporary media culture, where lurking child molesters, fundamentalist fear-mongering and Britney Spears all collide onscreen into a soup of FCC violations and wry how-dare-you-do-that-on-television eye poppers." -- Mike Hoolboom, Director, Images Festival of Film, Video, and New Media *World Premiere: Images Festival (Toronto) *European Premiere: Kassel DokFest (Kassel), Prevention Tank *Winner, National Film Board of Canada Award, Images Festival (Toronto) |
