FUD

FUD
(2006, 4 minutes)

A comfy-cozy vignette of fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

“FUD” is Simon Tarr’s third film to use anaglyphic technology to alter the audience’s view. Using two cameras joined together but shooting independently, Tarr creates an altogether new experience for filmgoers.

The term ‘FUD’ was coined in the 1990’s to refer to one of Microsoft’s P.R. strategies of domination over open source systems:simply suggest that the devil you know is better than one you don’t. Actually, they’re doing it again now.
