The film presents a critical examination of Hollywood's image-making machine, through a fascinating parade of 50 film Filmclips spanning a century.. Winner of the Best Short Documentary award at the NY International Independent Film & Video film festival, THE SLANTED SCREEN envisions a new, exciting future in the entertainment industry, where the diversity of our culture and society is fully recognized and represented..
