Inconsequential Doggereal

About This Movie

Alright, so 'Inconsequential Doggereal' is a curious piece, really. Created by Jenkins as a sort of editing exercise, it’s this experimental blend of poetic snippets and a collage of media — think TV news bites and ads, all interspersed with his own footage. The pacing can feel disjointed, which actually adds to its charm; it’s like you’re rifling through channels and getting glimpses of life through a distorted lens. It’s not a conventional narrative, but more of a meditative exploration on how we consume images and sound. The atmosphere is intriguing, almost jarring at points, and it’s definitely a film that invites you to think rather than just watch. There’s something distinctly offbeat about it that resonates, especially with those who appreciate the more avant-garde side of cinema.

This film has had a pretty limited distribution history, primarily existing on obscure formats which makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors. Finding a good print can be a challenge, as it hasn’t been widely circulated or restored. The blend of experimental film techniques and media critique draws interest from those who appreciate the avant-garde, but it’s not something you’ll find just anywhere.
