Scream (2021)
Overview
This 2021 Australian experimental essay film shares a name with the famous slasher franchise but has nothing to do with Ghostface. Directors Sam Gill and Luke Neher use three infotainment vignettes, set to abrasive electronic music, to examine terrorism, media spectacle, capitalism, and imperial violence. The premise is openly critical of Western media systems and global power structures, which pulls the film toward the progressive end of the spectrum. However, signals across other cultural categories are largely absent or neutral for a 47-minute experimental work with minimal cast. The label lands at Mixed because the political critique is pointed, but the film's narrow scope leaves most traditional bias categories untouched.
