- A special presentation of the documentary about the life and art of Arthur Radebaugh. This special presentation removes an hour of the feature length documentary and focuses on the impact and predictions of the Closer Than We Think comic strip that ran from 1958-1963.
Features one of the last on camera interviews with visual futurist Syd Mead.
Winner of the Best Documentary award at the 2018 Boston Science Fiction Film Festival and the 2019 Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival.
The full film is available to rent or purchase on Vimeo and Amazon. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I have always been fascinated by Arthur Radebaugh's illustrations and vision. It's so cool to learn a bit more about Radebaugh, the man. Thanks for releasing this snippet of the full documentary to us here on CZcams...I will be purchasing the full-length film on Amazon Prime very soon.
Thanks so much for watching!

The 85 minute version of Closer Than We Think is on Amazon Prime and Vimeo. What you saw was a 30 minute presentation specifically for CZcams.
I like Radebaugh's art because it is so whimsical. I believe that was his prime motivation and intent. His stuff was in the comics section afterall. Sorry, but I think this documentary tried to look at his art too seriously and missed the opportunity to talk about how outrageous and fun it was. Also, would have been nice if it explained why his art was black and white, but the newspaper versions were in color. Not many people, including me, understand the process.
Be sure to check out the feature length version on Amazon Prime or Vimeo!
Unfortunately, Peter Thiel is absolutely correct when he affirms that there is a dearth of innovation right now. The future Radebaugh promised is so far off in the distance. If you go into a house now and ignore screens (Thiel's point) there's really no difference from a home in the 70s and a home now. The millions of Americans, Europeans, Canadians, Australians that have decided to waste time in utterly useless disciplines like fill-in-the-blank-grievance studies (the so-called "social" sciences which are not at all scientific) in universities instead of pursuing engineering and science have pumped the breaks on life-saving and life-extending technologies. We're permanently stuck in 1973 with better TV and mind-enslaving social media, and not much else. Watch any futuristic movie from the 60s/70s and you'll see people making calls on a videophone, it took 50 years to make that happen in the real qorld. It will probably be another 50 years until personal flying cars, and another 150 years until we have undersea habitation or orbital habitation (other than the space station). We graduate thousands of kids that can go on and on about how they think Radebaugh's work is "classist" or some other gross label du jour, but only one or two that can actually advance an invention that will get us slightly closer to the future promised in these comic strips.
