Telly

About This Movie

Telly offers a curious exploration of television not just as a medium, but as an object in itself. It's intriguing how it dissects the imagery we consume, using footage from Brookside, which adds a layer of familiarity and nostalgia for those who remember the show. The pacing is quite meditative, almost hypnotic, allowing viewers to reflect on the relationship between the viewer and the screen. It's not flashy, but the way it frames the TV as both an image bearer and a sculptural piece invites thought about the nature of visual consumption. There’s something remarkably distinct about its approach to the mundane, turning the ordinary act of watching into a deeper contemplation.

Telly has had limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Its unique focus on the television medium and the use of a recognizable soap opera makes it a niche interest. The film’s exploration of imagery and viewer interaction sets it apart, but it may not have mass appeal. Still, for those who appreciate experimental cinema, it can be a rewarding find.
