Stop Darlington

Through the use of found footage of a TV image, the practical and moral imperatives of the title are momentarily suspended in a problematic of representation. In affirming the density of the material objecthood at the basis of its “message,” the film foregrounds the question: “What are some of the difficulties encountered in the appropriation of media – particularly those of the mainstream – by and for the pedagogical interest of the Left?”
