Get Yourself Home

Directed by Jared Varava.

Built from 40+ public domain films, the video for "Get Yourself Home" by These United States utilizes the absolutely free and long forgotten footage of the Prelinger Archives. With each clip, a resurrected moment of early film history offers itself up to be woven into the fabric of a whole new American narrative. From the main character, who comes from a 1930's propaganda film about the importance of workers' unions, to the passing scenes of carnivals, cabarets and the great wild West, all come together to evoke the contrasting emotions, environments, sins, schemes, devils and delusions that bind us on These United States' newest release "Crimes."
