The Shampoo Generation DVD

Every day we are inundated with images, from advertising and presidential elections to MMS. These images are often more real than reality. Think of a city child who washes her hair with pine shampoo.When she and her father take a walk in the woods, she exclaims, “Daddy! The forest smells like shampoo.” Image plays an increasingly important role in our communication. Our thoughts and feelings express the distinction between reality and simulation.

The Shampoo Generation presents 14 films by young filmmakers who grew up on the other side of the rainbow. Ninety minutes of fun between reality television and simulation.

Dutch with English subtitles.
