Kevin Willmott – C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America (2004)
The Confederate States of America, through the eyes of a faux documentary, takes a look at an America where the South won the Civil War. Supposedly produced by a British broadcasting company, the feature film is presented as a production being shown, controversially, for the first time on television in the States. Through the use of other fabricated movie segments, old government information films, television commercials, news breaks, along with actual stock footage from our own history, a provocative and humorous story is told of a country which, in many ways, frighteningly follows a parallel with our own.
Great social satire, distributed by Spike Lee, believe it or not. Was an audience favourite at Sundance and the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival.
Quote:
The distinctions between the two C.S.A.s — documentary and film — elide to challenge your assumptions and expectations. Where is the line drawn between offense and marketing strategy? How do images and products — seen again and again and again — shape their consumers? Which is more effective, the overt racism in Cops or the racism-by-omission in consistently mostly-white tv or mainstream movie casts? For all its aesthetic inelegance and obviously low budget effects, Willmott’s film makes a serious point. It exposes the terrible, abiding premise that still holds up so much of today’s U.S.A., that white Americans’ relentless sense of privilege and rightness are not constructed, but inherent. It’s a matter of faith and ownership. [Popmatters]
