A positive review of the American Film Institute's fifth annual video festival in 1985. Focuses mainly on the videos and ideas of Jean Luc Godard who beleives that; "Video has become a substitute for experience." Also explores concepts of Marc Carlin who questions whether memory is able to survive in age where television has usurped all of its functions.
