Dir. Brian Quist and T.J. Martin US 2002
Filmed entirely on Dec. 31, 1999, A Day in the Hype,
offers a savvy critique of the hype and hysteria that made the arrival
of the millennium such an anticlimax. Set against the cacophony
of the unrelenting media circus, 4 stories take us back into the heart
of the millennial zeitgeist. The film unveils a shrewd commentary on
the conditions that have turned us into a fearful culture. (video;90m) with discussion and Q & A.
