Clip above is from Medium Cool by Haskell Wexler. The title is a play on the notion of film being a Hot Medium as defined by Marshall McLuhan. That is that it only engages one sense, is overwhelming and immersive not requiring much viewer particpation to extract meaning. Wexler film questions the relationship between journalist and subject. How objective can a journalist/film maker be when, by being witness to events, he is influencing them. Probably enough of media studies 101. All I can say is it is a fantastic film with amazing scenes from the 68 Democratic convention riots, meeting the Black Panthers and still is pertinent today particularly the challenges of objectivity and role and responsibilities of a journalist using the medium of the Internet.
