Age of the Image: Seductive Dreams

Series 1, episode 3

Directed by (unconfirmed)
Alexander Leith

James Fox tells the story of how, in the second half of the 20th century, artists, advertisers and film-makers used the power of images to sell the public dreams. From the influence of Kodak on family photos to psychologists persuading consumers what to buy, he explores how images seduced with fantasies of a better life. It's a journey that takes him from the early days of Marlboro Man to the radical feminist art of Judy Chicago and the reaction to male-dominated visual culture, along the way celebrating Fellini's mastery of cinematic fantasy, David Hockney's subversive visions of male desire and Madonna's groundbreaking music videos
