The fictitious "reality television" film, Series 7.
There are lots of interesting and often disturbing power relationships going on in the myriad of "citizen journalism" videos on the web, especially once police are involved. The videos of the recent Oakland Bart Police shooting also come to mind (I can't remember if the policewoman demanding the camera from the woman as the bart train doors close is audible on the tape or not).
There's also the power question implicit in experimental work using street photography and observational film/video where the subjects do not know (or sometimes come to know) they are being filmed. This is an area I work in from time to time but there are probably hundreds examples in works of more import. Immediately coming to mind: on the subtle side, Ernie Gehr's "City"; on the decidedly unsubtle side, Jon Jost's "London Brief" which includes a striking sequence of a woman on a train who becomes aware over a period of several minutes that Jost is filming her, among many other relevant scenes.

Subject: films/videos dealing with power
dear all:
i'm putting together several classes that deal with power - different
varieties of power relations between those filmed and those doing the
filming. this could be extreme (or less extreme) interactions where
the filmmaker/cameraperson has power (most typical) or where it's
firmly in the hands of the people being filmed. This power can come
through the presence of the camera, through verbal interaction, or
anything else.
I'm most interested in those cases which would make the audience feel
uneasy/queasy watching.
suggestions?
best!
