United States of America / 2001 / Fiction, Documentary / 7’0”I0300165
In the genre of a 1950's U.S. propoganda scare film, cutting edge music is combined with footage from a lost American artform called Soundies (music videos from the early 1940's). Ordinary citizens are shown in an unstoppable dancing frenzy to denounce the "public threat" of Jungle Jazz.
