Welcome to the Show
Hey there and Welcome to Ephememe. Throughout the next few months we'll be collectively embarking upon a sociological, psychological and philosophical examination of American Culture and Values by means of Ephemeral Film.
Much of the material we will be highlighting comes directly from public domain archives set up for your entertainment and educational needs. A couple of these sources are the Prelinger Archive, and the A/V Geeks Archive. I've taken on the rather large task of uploading hundreds of these films through google video, in order to make the material more accessible.
I hope to give an unbiased view of society as a whole through a selection of significant films not hindered by one political rhetoric or another. I leave it up to you the viewer to make sense of this material in your own way, and I'd love to hear some feedback on what you think it all means.
To begin we'll be looking at a series of topics beginning with an examination of childhood, through puberty, adolescence, young adulthood, marriage and family, the working world, and a surreal examination of the consumer and the act of consumption. We will also take a closer look at the topics of War, Religion, and Drug Culture.
I'd like to thank you for visiting us here and I hope you enjoy the show. As a rule I've always strived with my little internet existence to provide a wide array of experiences from educational to entertainment, all through the quirky gaze of the Carnival Barker persona.
Enjoy!
Nelson
