overview
What is Cable Box about?
Tune in for a Clearer Picture. Taking place in an unspecified year in the early 1990s, a night of mindless television channel flipping is slowly interrupted and overtaken by a pirate television signal. A flood of colours emanating from video feedback, warring tribes displayed through a modified oscilloscope, and a flurry of gun violence repeated via luminance keying dominate stations one by one. Abstract imagery through analog video glitch techniques forewarn the passive television viewer that the far-right American political system to come will not be the result of a sudden shift. Instead we will see a rise of increasingly conservative policies followed by a moulding of public perception by broadcast television. The film reflects a distinct Canada style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Rob Feulner. With a runtime of 17 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
