The Late Show (1969)

Overview:

An incision into the complacent, mass media world, The Late Show is a potent, provocative short film made up of only one long, carefully composed shot. And it does a lot with a little. Tracing the room of an African American man - a member of the Black Panthers - it sets up his world and contrasts it with the lifestyles promoted by late-night television, highlighting the structural violence, division and alienation.
