The imaginative value of TV documentaries

The. concept of television is no
news for anyone tn this day and

that are good about television, but

feeling of longing, *a feeling of
sorrow,* a -feeling of adroira-

Obviously the latter attitudes
attempt to come up with a framework of looking at things I would
like to submit the following:
When one watches a documentary dealing with, say, ancient
civilizations, one should realize
that that particular documentary

too important. As the sticker

Imperfection of human justice,
the Inadequacy of human compassion, the defectiveness of our

And therefore, they call upon
common qualities of conscience
and of Indignation, a shared determination to wipe away the unnecessary sufferings of our fellow human beings at home and
around the world.*

An art director for a San Francisco advertising firm, Lelssl
presents a personal paradox In
his works as he frowns upon the
tube-hooked and hard-sell oriented American society.
One of the shorts includes an
ad for a multi-flavored line of
vaginal deodorants. .Among the
featured     flavors     is   one   of
new mechanical, scientific and
educational approach to human
sexual relations. Two male and
female dolls drop by the office
of a sex counselor only to find
out that the reason for their dissatisfaction In Intercourse Is
their lack of sexual organs.
Lelssl expresses his feelings
towards politics with replacing

work has a direct relation with
tha creator's Intellectual virtue.
Lelssl had had a long day and
waa not about to carry on the
dreary discussion.
However, his works suffer
from this very lack of virtue.
We all know that things are wrong
with politics, sexual relations and
advertisements. Lelssl merely
intensified such feelings with Ihe
aid of moving graphics.
He does not offer any greater
insight. Due to this quality, the
works turn Into cliche expressions as soon as they reach the
audience. This is regardless of
how 'original* the Ideas are.
I also have my reservations as
far as the length of the films,
especially because the ten-minute
shorts are even segmented within themselves. It Is very hard to
create the quality of organic
cinema In such a short time span.
