"A Short Film About Money" is a spin-off from a longer film coming shortly which I’ve been making with Lee Salter. The longer film, ‘Secret City’, is an investigation into the Corporation of the City of London that governs the famous square mile which serves as joint-HQ with Wall Street for global finance capital. We originally thought we might include a sequence about the illusions of money, but dropped it, so instead we fashioned the footage we’d collected into the satirical short you can see here.
I've met Michael Chanan he's an alright guy but I know Lee Salter better. Chanan made a video blog about the Occupy LSX for newstatesmen and a few documentaries about the recent events in Chile while Lee worked at my old uni in the film department (not sure about recently as I'm no longer about and kinda dropped out of that crowd). They've made a documentary about the City of London Corporation and in the link provided called 'Secret City' that looks like it might be a revealing and interesting watch. Either way, the short film in the link provided is pretty good.
