The War Game is a fictional, worst-case-scenario docu-drama about nuclear war and its aftermath in and around a typical English city. Although it won an Oscar for Best Documentary, it is fiction. It was intended as an hour-long program to air on BBC 1, but it was deemed too intense and violent to broadcast. It went to theatrical distribution as a feature film instead. Low-budget and shot on location, it strives for and achieves convincing and unflinching realism.

BENZO DIAZEPINE

Since 2004 Benzo Diazepine creates and interprets satiric fables in the universe of a cyberpunk cabaret. A sound track tortured, tinged with industrial, classic, punk and electro musics as well as a video mix plant the decoration on stage of a show in the fetishist style. Between militant concert and theater punch, the trash mime depicted the faults of the human being. http://www.benzodiazepine.fr

THE DAY THE COUNTRY DIED

The rise of anarcho punk in the wake of Crass finally saw punk rock become the movement it always threatened to be in the late Seventies. Suddenly punk wasnt about the clothes that you wore, the music that you played, it was about what was in your head, what was in your heart. Bands like Conflict, Flux Of Pink Indians, Subhumans, The Mob, Zounds, and quite literally hundreds more, took the sentiments of Crass in myriad musical directions, but always maintained as their primray motivation a desire to offer a genuine alternative to the mainstream.

LA SOCIETE DU SPECTACLE

Debord traces the development of a modern society in which authentic social life has been replaced with its representation: “All that was once directly lived has become mere representation.” Debord argues that the history of social life can be understood as “the decline of being into having, and having into merely appearing.”  This condition, according to Debord, is the “historical moment at which the commodity completes its colonization of social life.”
