Filler

Synopsis

Filler brings together children's fairy tales, TV, soap dramas and news reports to tell the story of a missing child. The video explores the cultural shifts that occur from the way these stories are reported - how notions of celebrity, voyeurism and reality are blurring private emotion with public spectacle.
