INTRODUCED BY DIRECTOR CRAIG BALDWIN
In Sonic Outlaws, the art-rock band Negativland
coins the phrase "culture jamming"--an apt moniker for Baldwin's work--as
capturing the "corporately controlled subjects of the one-way media barrage,
reorganizing them to be a comment upon themselves, and spitting them back
into the barrage for cultural consideration." The documentary tracks the
band's legal disputes over their landmark recordings U2 and Dispepsi,
and explores the boundaries of free speech in the art of appropriation.
1995, U.S., 87 minutes.
