All the World’s a Stage
―
Ways of Seeing 2013
It reveals mythical truths and unveils true illusions by deconstructing and reconstructing realities that we often take as given.
Close your eyes and you’ll see.
The short film shows how everything around us -from movies to ads, from literature to politics- is immersed in staged reality, everything being designed and presented to seduce.
It draws parallels and comparisons between John Berger’s Ways of Seeing and the visual overload of today’s mass media, showing how actual and accurate the 1972 documentary series still is.
All The World’s a Stage – Ways of Seeing 2013 is a tribute to and narrated by John Berger.
