what is video literature?
If you're wondering what constitutes a cinematic poem, story, or essay, look no further than the terrific commercials, many of them public service announce- ments, that have run during the Super Bowl since 2012. We're thinking about the Ram Truck commercial, Like a Farmer, narrated by Paul Harvey, or the spot on domestic violence in the 2015 game.
Come back to IHLR Online for new video literature, or check out the great video compositions published in Rattapallax, Blackbird, and TriQuarterly (click the links below). You don't need any better guidelines than these examples.
