"She was obsessed with how media reflects its society back to itself." Zeitgeist Films & Kino Lorber have debuted an official trailer for a fascinating indie documentary film titled Recorder, in full Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project. Marion Stokes secretly recorded television 24 hours a day for 30 years from 1975 until her death in 2012. For Marion taping was a form of activism to seek the truth, and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would be invaluable for future generations. (Perhaps she was right?) Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized and they'll be searchable online. Described as "a mystery in the form of a time capsule", this looks like a remarkably compelling doc about the media, about television, and about a woman who just wanted us to see the truth of what's really going on in our modern (endlessly televised) society. Definitely worth a look. ›››
