Description:

Educational film discussing the information gap. In spite of technical progress, interpersonal communication remains ineffective. Film examines problems, outlines reason for gap as being, among others, speech differences, verbalism, ambiguity, poor timing, emotional blocks, abstraction, euphemisms, petrified thought processes and involvement in synthetic reality (i.e.: movies, television, etc.). Sequences on montage illustrating technical progress: lasers, computers, etc., on various means of communication as, for example, modern rock music. Sequence on impromement possibilities by means of audiovisual media. A colorful talking parrot appears at the beginning and at the end. The film uses modern cinematic techniques: mix of actual shooting, animation, stills.
