Synopsis
The camera has many functions beyond the basic process of capturing an image. It can enhance our understanding of the world around us. 'Pixel Power' explores the contemporary constraints imposed on public photography and videography in the UK, by a paranoid state and an increasingly influential commercial sector. Can the forces of state and capitalism be contained using a knowledge of the law, a broken microphone and the occasional cuddle? ‘Pixel Power’ investigates five unique characters who give it their best shot.
