How it feels

This series collected short works from different video makers and showed them one after another within each hour long episode. There were no smooth transitions or host introductions, just a straight presentation of short documentary pieces.

What happens

Image Union is an American independent documentary series created by Jamie Cesar and Tom Weinberg. It was aired on WTTW, a PBS affiliate in Chicago, Illinois and premiered on November 16, 1978. Each hour-long episode was either a "theme show" or a "potpourri" of work from different video makers and the segments were cut together with few transitions or announcer introductions. The show did not have an official end date and reruns regularly ran on WTTW up until the early 2010s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
