Dreams Bought
I wanted to escape from the blindness of the books :I wanted to go towards the bright image. As butterflies are attracted for the light.
Both and non.
How to teach “defending people from people ”by trying to portray the culture of our times.
At the sunset of the show when the spotlights of the filmmaker are falling into the scene.-fiction or reality?-both or
none ;The fact does not want to express the fact not even a representation of life “as it is” Is the walk through the presentation ; The first and the last show; The moment. "Technique is not alien to poetic creation and must be fully mastered in order to germinate and flourish ideas. Technique is a crystallization that must be true to the structure of the substance."
"I intend to communicate the unusual sensation of new senses." I needed to satisfy my concerns as a writer and, likewise, to apply my knowledge to materialize them in an audiovisual piece.
There is an exhibitionist point in writing and it is necessary to be emotionally involved in this to reach the viewer.
Of course, there are endless conceptions of art and its expressions but, personally, I understand cinema as an instrument to thrill. I have intended to tell something, to reflect on something.
As a reference I have used non-narrative cinema, which we can call the "poetic" forms of cinema. And that can comparing to letters and postcards make up most of the output in personal space spaces.
