The bradbury building: a cinematic fetish location | Lobotomous Monk

This was a video documentary that I put together for my Cinematic Cities Masters course at UofT taught by Prof. Bart Testa. The video was inspired by Thomas Andersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003). I examine how the Bradbury Building has been represented cinematically and how one might move forward with a definition for a cinematic 'fetish location'. The documentary was an accompaniment to a seminar presentation and I will later self-publish that essay on academia.edu. The thesis on 'mobile panopticism' is a prolegomenon at the moment.
