Joe Gibbons
"Barbie's Audition"
Pixelvision, 1995, 12 min.
In Gibbons' darkly comic take on the Hollywood casting couch, Barbie becomes the victim of sexual harrassment and exploitation. Although "Barbie's Audition" was initially selected to appear at Sundance, festival lawyers were concerned about the doll's role and ultimately vetoed the short.

on another, its a sophisticated gender critique
