I’m currently curating a playlist of promotional telecommunication films for the Library of Congress.
Here are some stills from the terrifying film Adventure in Telezonia (1950) that traumatized generations of Americans while teaching them how to use the telephone. In the movie a young boy travels to the seemingly post-apocalyptic world of Telezonia so that he can learn how to use the telephone, so that he can find his lost dog, so that he can get the hell out of Telezonia!
