Notes on the Popular Arts

Movie Information

This series of light-hearted episodes by Saul Bass illuminates the fantasy lives of those who daily watch, listen and dream in the worlds of television, movies, popular music and print. By turns lyrical and funny, it shows how the popular arts serve as vehicles for self-projection, experience, expansion and fantasy fulfillment. The video utilizes a variety of techniques -- live action, animation and special effects -- to communicate some trenchant ideas on our American involvement with popular culture.—Pyramid Media
