What (is) Cinema? – Watch that Flicker
Combined programme
|
IFFR 2002
The frame of a film used to be compared to a window on the world. Nowadays the world has become a landscape filled with screens, and people spend enormous amounts of their life time in front of flickering monitors for work as well as for pleasure. Since the advent of television, film culture became increasingly channelled through the small screen. But how has this small screen altered our perception of the classics? And how different is the impact of a digitised image on our consciousness, compared to an analogue one? And to what extend is our perception of reality changing under the impulse of all these restless pixels?
