Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
San Francisco-based director Craig Baldwin creates this rough-hewn experimental sci-fi tale. Set in 2007, father and daughter scientific team Yogi and Boo-Boo try to discover why the planet has ended up as a polluted cesspool of toxic, corrupting transmissions where its citizens expend terrific energy pursuing the most base rewards of a vacuous consumer culture. Constructed out of vintage '50s television shows and new 16mm footage, this film is a bizarre, savagely funny romp. Spectres of the Spectrum was screened at the 1999 Vancouver Film Festival.
