13° FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE CINEMA GIOVANI
Special Program - Stranger Than Fiction: The Other American Cinema
SONIC OUTLAWS
by Craig Baldwin
Country: USA
Year: 1994
Duration: 87'
Sonic Outlaws begins as a group portrait of NegativIand, a group that Island Records accused of plagiarism because it used U2 music in its parodycollage of I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. With this story as a starting off point, Craig Baldwin exploits his powerful mastery of the collage and his fantastically vast collection of material for his saunter through a whole world of copyright violations. There are "Fair Use" and culture jamming. There are the roots in Dadaism and Cubism and in the works of Andy Warhol. There is Silly Putty and there are the instructions on how to construct a medical clinic for Barbie. And there is the dawn of a new popular electronic culture.
