Test Patterns
1979, English. Directed by Lynn Hershman-Leeson.
In this “factional docudrama,” a “test pattern man” personifies television media. When an interviewer asks him about his memories of the Kennedy assassination (which is shown in reenactment), he references the vapid content on other channels that day. Features Timothy Leary.
