Artaud Double Bill + The Society of the Spectacle

Created for the To Each His Own Cinema (Chacun son cinéma) anthology film commissioned for the 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, Artaud Double Bill showcases a wry critique of the evolving role of traditional cinema in the hands of the millennial generation.

Based on his 1967 book of the same title, Guy Debord's first feature-length film, The Society of the Spectacle, uses found footage and détournement in a radical criticism of mass marketing and its role in the alienation of modern society.
