>Honestly, I miss movies from this time as they were escapism and not so political.

Yes it's disappointing that there is suddenly an intense focus on the political views of everything everywhere. A movie is good if it presents the proper worldview. It reminds me of what I've heard about USSR... art must be propaganda. Sometimes Soviet films were banned because they didn't praise Stalin enough.

What the fuck is wrong with the french?

Can you give me an example.

/tv/ suggested me Punishment Park and it was quiet good for a low cost production. A bit over the top with the pig stuff but I was impressed by the reality TV look. I thought this kind of thing was invented much much later.

Bodypaint.

>control the rights to thousands of different documentary, arthouse, independent, and international titles

It's such a shame that we don't have national restorations that releases the restored films for free in public domain. It's such a shame.

Another shame is, at least in Czech, that there are no filmclubs that project obscure, or at least old not-from-anglosphere films. Seeing it in kino is totally superior and more importantly totally different from seeing it from gauch on 42' tv.

films that were digitalized right away for dvd/bluray should be in public domain publicly accessible after 2-3 years

I had always thought that Tron was filmed entirely in 65-mm.

>>13985

Yes it was, but 65mm is the width of the film

That chart shows the focal lengths of lenses

Now I'm having second thoughts about Dial M for Murder. In case it had too many scenes in other locations, replaced it with Arsenic and Old Lace which is mostly (?) confined to one house.

>>13712

>with Arsenic and Old Lace which is mostly (?) confined to one house.

It is confined to the outside of the house and the inside. If I remember right, only the very start has them somewhere else briefly.

What are you talking about Anon it clearly says released in 2018 from Google. You sure you just aren't so much of a pleb you couldn't find it? :^)

literally jewish propaganda

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radegund_(film) says otherwise, and anyway, who the fuck cares?

Oh cool. I saw Home Alone when I was a wee lad, never rewatched, so for most of my life I thought that movie was authentic.

I enjoyed watching Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas story on Christmas. Have a happy new year as well.

Another year has come and gone

Merry Christmas everybody

>The Redditors.

The oldest feature I've ever seen is Nosferatu, which is my favourite adaptation of Dracula and one of my favourite movies in general. Max Schreck blows Lugosi out of the fucking water with his performance. The oldest short film I've seen with a narrative is embed related, from 1899. It's a fairly simple short visually and in terms of the narrative, but I think it's incredible that something as simple as a jump cut to swap out an object to us was revolutionary back then.

Oh and I guess I've seen the Roundhay Garden Scene. It's pretty neat.

i like how those cuts were used, so frequently and pretty fluid too.

<Some time ago I came across a phenakistoscope (also spelled as phenakistiscope or phenakitiscope or phantasmascope or phantascope), an antique optical instrument that displays animated images (practically current animated gif) invented in 1832 by Joseph Plateau. I then found some scans of these circles on the Internet and I began to digitally animate them. After a few attempts, I started to combine these animations trying to create something original and unpublished.

NEW scan of A Trip Down Market Street, but no sound

<This scan of the legendary pre-earthquake film was made from the best existing material at 4K (4096 x 3072) resolution and transcoded to 2K (2048 x 1536) for YouTube.

I'll go even further: Is this one of the best manage of camera in the cinema of 2000's?

I haven't seen it. I wonder who has? Because it has a surprisingly low rating, rather intriguing.

I remember the visual style of static shots from a distance in Dogtooth and The Lobster. Despite that change Yorgos has used the same cinematographer for just about everything.

For god's sake, they even included a Star Wars movie to the list. Is just the same mainstream kind with another mask.

I liked New Hope very much. Wouldn't put it in the first 100 tho.

Can anyone explain why is the matrix apeshit Empire Strikes Back so popular? he should have stopped after New Hope for his own sake

I haven't seen many films in general, so I haven't seen any that Šarūnas Bartas made. As for Lithuanian cinema, movies made here seem to be mostly either bleak dramas or dumb, low-brow comedies. A couple films I remember seeing in the cinema are Lošėjas (Gambler) in 2013 and Šventasis (The Saint) in 2016-2017. Both fall into the bleak drama category and both seemed a bit needlessly depressing, though I enjoyed them nevertheless. Another is Pelėdų Kalnas (Owl mountain) from 2018 which was well made and higher-budget than usual, though I didn't pay much attention to the plot which revolved around the partisan life in Soviet occupied Lithuania. Many of the mainstream "good films" in Lithuania are about the usurpations that the nation endured during and after WWII, such as Dievų Miškas (Forest of the Gods) from 2005 and the new Tarp Pilkų Debesų (Ashes in the Snow) in 2018, which I haven't seen. I liked Forest of the Gods well enough, even if the acting was a bit primitive. Prieš parskrendant į žemę (Before Flying Back to Earth) from 2005 is a pretty good documentary about children with leukemia living in a hospital. An older and popular one that I enjoyed is Maža išpažintis (Little Confession) from 1971, which is a good glimpse into 1970's Soviet Lithuania, but finding it would be pretty hard apart from Lithuanian private trackers, and getting english subtitles would probably be impossible.

Funnily enough, I just watched Happy Madison with my grandfather.

As for best movies, I'll nominate Billy Madison and Waterboy.

Me too. It wasn't long ago that Rivette's films were hard to find with good quality + English subs. Now they are mostly on bluray. It's a great thing.

LA adaptación, cuando es leve, loose, puede desembocar en una historia original. Por ejemplo, intentando adaptar un libro en el cual el narrador enuncia explicitamente que el es el creador de los personajes. ¿Cómo traduzco eso a una película?. El intento de traducir la manera en que se da la información en una novela o cuento puede hacerte ver mecanismos formales del lenguaje audiovisual que s epueden usar para contar cosas que no necesariamente tengan que ver con la historia del cuento o novela. Te hacen descubrir maneras, dispositivos, interfaces.

>>12615

Pensar como se presentan los personajes, que porcentaje de la pelicula se dedica a cada cosa, etc. Por ejemplo, la mitad de la novela que estoy intentando adaptar presenta a los personajes de la siguiente manera: 40% del libro sobre un personaje, 40% sobre el otro (nunca en paralelo, aparecen sucesivos) y el otro 20 es el final en el que se encuentran dentro de la historia. Puedo pensar esa manera de relacionar y presentar personajes porque esa novela me los sugirió. Y no necesariamente usar el contenido de esa novela.

i already have some projects i want to work in the long future, nowadays it´s just thinking about the story itself, asking myself what if this plays out in a certain way and so on, changing some things that obviously can´t work, most of the projects i will working will be book to film adaptations so it saves me time about having coming up with an original story (which i suck doing it lol)
