Hello, /film/

This board is probably infinitely more dedicated to watching rather than making films, but it is the closest thing, this chan has to offer,

so I'm going to ask anyways.

on /mu/, we're having this long running project, called "Autistic Rage Festival", which is a not too serious collab of anons making music.

https://arfm.bandcamp.com/

It will not take much listening time to pinpoint the effort in the entire discography, but it would nevertheless be fucking fantastic,

if someone could make a music video for basicly ANY track. There are no expectations to it, and therefor no limits either. As mentioned,

the whole ARF project is not too serious, in case anyone is determined to make a video, and said person should really not put too much ambition or time into to it, but anyways.

also sorry, if this post is a duplicate

I had high hopes, but I was honestly pretty bored by it. I'm by no means opposed to slow movies (Lav Diaz is one of my favorite directors), but this one just didn't seem to do anything to justify the glacial pace of a lot of the shots. I remember one shot in a palace with a transparent curtain being particularly punishing and masturbatory. I also found it hard to care about anything that was happening because I couldn't understand the story or any of the motivations of the characters, there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to any events. There were a few nice shots, especially the title shot and the black and white one towards the end with the girl standing on the windy cliff, but overall I came away from it disappointed. The only other HHS film I've seen is Millennium Mambo, which I liked but also found to be a bit needlessly slow at times. From what I can gather neither that nor The Assassin are really typical films of his (at least in terms of the time they take place in), so I still need to check out some of his other stuff before I can pass judgment on him as a filmmaker.

It's a gorgeous film but I couldn't get into any of the substance either. I had difficulty differentiating certain characters, let alone knowing who they were in the first place. I think a second viewing would help but I really don't see the point.

And a 22 year old girl as a disturbed loner superninja is a tough sell, especially given the ponderous tone of the rest of the film.

"The absence of limitations is the enemy of art."

With the continued slide of what's acceptable on screen I feel that we've lost an important caveat to film making. The more brash and uncensored film making becomes, the more that I see it losing some of its basic creativity. Where as directors and writers had to pick and choose where they could put a bit of scandilous content, now they take it for granted. Violence, and dramatic moments in some newer films lack the bombastic impact that they did in the golden era.

This isn't an all new films are bad thread, cause that'd be a lie. What I'm saying is that the restrictions placed so that films couldn't constantly show what they wanted, forced film makers to get creative in ways that they wouldn't now. And it also gives moments that would have zero impact in one of today's films, a stronger hit, a real sense of feeling.

What those who haven't watched the earlier era of cinema tend to forget is how much weight little things can carry. How drastic the swing can be from moments that would never even touch the audiences heart in a film full of extravagant moments. In a way, we get further from an artistic purity as we get closer to seeing everything on screen.

How do you feel about this /film/?

It's a well-known idea but still interesting. The Five Obstructions demonstrates this concept in action: https://uloz.to/!wf99VyiL/the-five-obstructions-jorgen-leth-lars-von-trier-2003-avi

As for other examples, I don't like neo-noir or proto-noir as much as regular 40s noir. The atmosphere just feels wrong without the Hays Code pushing out a lot of lasciviousness. I think the main characters were sleazier in the novels than in the films. Maybe that works better the page. In the films it can be too distracting.

This guy kinda does sound like a hipster though. It's not fair to compare todays work with stuff that was made decades ago. The technology of filmmaking is much more advanced, and it's run by corporations. Corporations don't give a fuck about art, all they care about is making $. Everything else is secondary.

Personally, art shouldn't have limitations and should always push boundaries. Who's fault is it that the majority of producers are creating lame shit with excessive sex and violence? People are buying it, so who's really to blame?

Mubi has retrospective for Lav Diaz this weekend: https://mubi.com/specials/lavdiaz

One film per month through the end of the year

> MUBI is proud to present the first-ever online retrospective of renowned Filipino auteur Lav Diaz, winner of Locarno’s Golden Leopard, and the Venice Orizzonti and Berlinale’s Alfred Bauer awards. His sprawling sagas of the Philippines’ tumultuous recent history and beleaguered but strong-willed and passionate peoples are epic in scope but bracingly intimate and direct in style. Challenging notions of storytelling and how cinema gives images and sound to stories unseen and voices unheard, no one makes movies like him. To give audiences the proper time to spend immersed in Lav’s cinema, MUBI will debut one film each month during the retrospective.

I heard it's basically a character profile, which reminds me a little of Dirty Wars. In fact Dirty Wars was mostly style with not much (new) substance.

Decent thread on >>>/leaks/110 about how he's probably part of a limited hangout operation.

His wikipedia talk page is also full of people pointing out inconsistencies in the Snowden story.

For this reason I'm not going to watch this movie or the upcoming one directed by Oliver Stone. I'd like to hear what others think of it though.

Well, the limited hangout theories started as soon as he leaked. It may be true, who knows. All inconsistencies are definitely worth a look though.

For maximum impact, I think he should have leaked during the election season. He did it right afterwards. Not much has changed, although I am glad this issue is more visible.

Boiling Frogs Post has probably been most critical of Snowden and Greewald, but that site also has me wondering "who is the real controlled opposition." They have interesting content but also like to push fringe ideas, often from Corbett.

Don't know if I'll watch this or not. My main concern is the lack of real content. I don't much care to learn about Edward the human bean.

> I heard it's basically a character profile

This review from a foreign policy website has essentially the same critique

http://fpif.org/citizenfours-personality-problem/

> Key questions go unanswered: How much information from Americans’ communications, Internet history, and location is collected by the NSA? How often was it accessed without a warrant? Did the NSA provide any data on foreign companies to those based in the United States? The NSA’s collection of this information alone is certainly cause for concern, even outrage, but greater clarity about these gray areas would have been helpful.


> A film might not be well-suited to capturing this nuance. About two-thirds of the way through the movie, Poitras displays some of the documents Snowden shared with the press. But without context or explanation, it’s hard to deduce much from them.


> Nonetheless, more might have been accomplished if the director were willing to focus more on investigation and less on personalities. For whatever reason, I don’t think Poitras was willing to do so. For example, she includes footage of Binney saying that after 9/11, the NSA started spying on everybody, and Appelbaum saying that the NSA actively attacks anyone it can if the agency perceives an advantage. But she neither challenges nor substantiates these claims, which seem likely to be exaggerations.


> The likeliest explanation for this shortcoming, to my mind, is that Poitras hoped to preserve a neater narrative — with clear heroes and villains — because that’s what audiences respond to most strongly.

Also, http://horrorcharnel.org/signup.php is now open for sign ups. Great place for horror, though the place is in need of a revamp.

Or go to their IRC and see if anyone is feeling generous

THC = the horror channel

tehconnection shouldn't be too hard to get an invite. they are smaller and probably want users.

ITT: Academic /film/ related stories

I assume i wasn't the only person who was lucky enough to study Film/Motion Pictures in the pre SJW times. Did you ever experience anything interesting or have stories to tell?

e.g:

>When it came to auteur theory aside from the mandatory goth chick writing about Tim Burton i was the only person in the class that didn't write about Quentin Tarantino.

>When being shown jurassic Park during a period on the history of SFX a student who was a self professed fundamentalist Christian left in outrage at this "moral degeneracy", 4 months later he would be removed from the course for attempting to rape a Lesbian girl on campus to "fix here"

>One of the final exam live study films was The Happiness of the Katakuris and one student handed in a single piece of paper with "I DONT GET IT I JUST LOVE FUCKING STAR WARS" on it. Surprisingly he was not Rich Evans.

>More than half the class fell asleep during Citzen Kane.

>The surprise hit was Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon.

>When moving onto practical work and placement in the industry health and safety forms had to be signed swearing there was no chance of meteor strike, volcanic eruption of nearby nuclear conflict.

>Started 130 in year one, down to 5 in year 4, was one of 2 that graduated.

What was your film school time like?

Not really film school I took a film and literature class.

>Literally the easiest class I've taken since pre school.

>I was hoping it would be a class where we'd watch different kinds of movies and analyze them.

>Basically, we'd learn about a certain genre and all the tropes in it, then watch three movies per genre

>The tests were basically questions to make sure we payed attention to the movie, and nothing analytical

>teacher ends up being pregnant and we get a substitute

>We go overboard on the documentary section since the sub didn't know what to show, we even watched a history channel documentary about the spartans

>Start Shakespeare, read much ado about nothing and watch both movie versions

>my friends and I always read with British accents or something to make it more interesting, while the rest of the idiots in that class read it all monotonous and can't even pronounce half the words

>Our original teacher comes back two weeks before school is out and the final is analyzing a foreign film of our choosing

>I choose Fires on the Plain

>Teacher loves it, get an A.

That class really made me lose my hope in humanity. We watched some really good movies, but most of the class didn't like them because they "were boring". They were also extremely dumb. I was never the top of any class, but I was probably one of the three smartest students in that class. I just hope none of them ever choose to vote.

Did anyone ever catch this?

I saw it in the cinema during a festival, but I had trouble staying awake. Either that's the film's subject matter being very effective on me, or, the film was really boring.

It's nothing he hasn't done before but I didn't mind that and liked it nevertheless.

I would suggest you give it another try or check out Tropical Malady or Syndromes and a Century, although both are similarly slow.

Sadly, I have only seen Tropical Malady so far. I thought its second half was absolute film wizardry, powerful moving bliss trascending language and experience as I have rarely witnessed in the cinema medium. My eyes were burning in a mindfuck of significant proportion. Shit was kvlt.

On-topic: I have no definite feelings for Weerasethakul's body of work. He seems like an interesting person to hang out with tough.

He's very good at making his films seem transcendental. The weird, hypnotic mood of Uncle Boonmee was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. He seems fastinated by the idea of reincarnation, and UBWCRPL is probably the best film to encapsulate that. I'd definitely check it out if I were you.

What do you guys think of the whole "cinema only lasted a century" opinion that seems to be common among many great directors?

i'd say that a load of shit. perhaps hollywood died in the late 70s, but that's just about the time that independent film took off. i mean, maybe cinema "proper" as in a 2 hour film is winding down, but look at all the creativity pouring out on youtube or similar

"only"? A whole century is not that bad for an "invention without any future" as Louis Lumiere in 1896.

Anyway I don't think the cinema died. There's always been good and bad movies, it's as simple as that. Even nowadays there's still good movies.

As long as you have something to say...

That's overblown to me, especially the 'technological is bad' kind of angle as >>7730 said.

More tech has the bad side of increasing needed resources for films, but more tech also has the good side of making it easy to get started or try newer things.

I thought it fizzled out. The Celebration is quite nice but I never explored the movement very much. Come to think of it I haven't seen anything from Denmark in a long time.

I think it's more enjoyable to watch cheaply produced movies that aren't so self-conscious about their methods.

open hearts (great susan bier flick, she has some other great stuff too), the celebration, breaking the waves (spiritually but not technically dogma), celebration, mifune's last dream. the movement died out in the early 00's as the price of digital filmmaking equipment started to make filmmaking more accessible (one of the goals of dogma 95)
