Hollywood Movie

Volker Schreiner
Germany 2012 / 7’

How can you make a Hollywood film interesting? It’s enough to just cut it up into little pieces, put it together again, switch on a light and play some tacky music. Volker Schreiner, as we can clearly see in Hollywood Movie, is very faithful to this simple method. This German short is based on a text film scenario by the American-Korean artist Nam June Paik, whose work is polar opposite to that of the Dream Factory.
