A seasoned actor (Leslie Carlson, in his fourth collaboration with Cronenberg) discusses the current state of film while a group of young children sneak in with production equipment to film him. The children are enamored with the camera, which the actor views as an infectious, malevolent presence.
Camera is available as a bonus feature on various DVD/Blu-Ray releases of Cronenberg's earlier film Videodrome.
