The video selection unfolds as both a hopeful portrait of a post-industrial city on the verge of its renaissance and an exercise in critical civic dialogue. Fake tourism videos, time-lapse sketches, virtual threats, and local celebrities appear in this complex portrait of a city.

Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video, 2009

Mike Polk's satirical videos parodying the promotional advertisements for Cleveland tourist destinations went viral when they were uploaded to YouTube in 2009. The videos garnered criticism from Positively Cleveland--the city's tourism agency--and provoked a counter attack, in the form of a contest for residents to make their own tourism videos about the city that were "positive in nature" and emphasized an "unexpected side of the area for tourists to discover."
