However, having accepted the generous proposal of the JIFF to make a video film reflecting my idea of cinema, I have tried to conceive a work that functions within the limitations of the medium, by using only indoor and close-up shots, that is, those in which video can capture something of the energy of film. At the same time, the subject of my film reflects the moral question brought up by the video movement because it concerns the way in which modern technology, imposed by outside political and economic forces, in some ways enables us to continue old things in a new form, but also, in some ways, completely transforms essential aspects of human life."Daniel Kasmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090178978468389578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-87802470948456438192007-10-11T13:14:00.000-04:002007-10-11T13:14:00.000-04:00Interesting turnaround on Green's part!Brenez may ...Interesting turnaround on Green's part!<BR/><BR/>Brenez may not have published on Green; I don't know.

Less than 2 years ago he was adamantly against this format:<BR/><BR/>KC: Would you ever make use of digital technology?<BR/>EG: Never. At least not as it exists presently. What interests me most in cinema is the possibility of capturing real energy, and I find that video can’t do that. For me it’s always an intellectual idea of what the shot was supposed to be, but never the reality of that shot.<BR/>http://www.vertigomagazine.co.uk/showarticle.php?sel=bac&siz=1&id=360<BR/><BR/>And Barbaria is apparently his pet name for the US:<BR/>http://www.cinema-scope.com/cs20/ar_huber_green.htm <BR/><BR/>Where does Brenez champion his films?
