Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape
2016・United States・88 minutes
Exploring the unexpected resurgence and enduring cultural impact of the compact "cassette".
Through interviews with musicians, collectors, label owners, and the cassette’s original inventor, Lou Ottens, the film traces how this once-obsolete format became a symbol of DIY creativity, intimacy, and personal expression. Blending nostalgia with cultural history, the documentary examines mixtapes as artifacts of emotion and identity, and reflects on why the tactile, imperfect, and deeply personal nature of cassettes continues to resonate in a digital age.
