Feel the Fear 1990 Directed by Mary Filippo
In “Feel the Fear” (1990, 24 minutes) images and ideas about television viewing, self-help therapy, alcohol use, acting, mimicry and social responsibility are linked by metaphoric and formal similarities to imitate connections of cause and effect. But the suggestion of causal logic doesn’t hold up and becomes increasingly skewed. The film’s structure is a metaphor for the contradictions of the culture in which it was made.
