How Much Does The Dk Siklon Weigh

"The documentary is a genre arrogant" Peter Greenaway

entrevsita Peter Greenaway

BY S. LLOPART (La Vanguardia)


What does a director like you in a festival like DocsBarcelona?

do not know. The film does not interest me too. In fact, I am saying he is dead. But then, if we talk about film as a genre, then this film and consider it my enemy. I guess I've been invited to exercise in provocative ...

What is against the film?

Peter Greenaway has been the guest of honor of DocsBarcelona 2011. Curious choice, given that Greenaway has built himself, from years ago, as the gravedigger of the film, his epitaph and his crown. Greenaway is credited as a filmmaker, titles like The contract the artist, the first of his own who achieved some notoriety, and The Belly of an Architect, film, like all of theirs first, of which now denies as obsolete. They belong to another era. Greenaway is on something else. Undertaker because, although he would prefer to speak of a midwife, for his insistence on something creative alternatives such as cinema "itself of the last century and has lost its reason for being in this age of interactivity and new technologies." Some also call him a clown, by making them laugh. But in your case, it is more correct to speak of a buffoon. The court jester who, released from all allegiance to power, endowed with absolute freedom and a great intelligence, is the only one who can tell the truth to the king. In this case, in the case of Greenaway, large producers do not produce their experiments: a Hollywood, and everyone who wants to hear.

Let us hear him, then ....

What is against the film?

is my nemesis! A big lie from their denomination. Documentary deals with documents, some writing, and film is the image. But above all his arrogance irritates me. How to determine if the claim is not true. The truth! The documentary is a genre arrogant Does there something like the truth in cinema?

But you have made several documentaries?

is true. And so I think I am here, talking as seriously. Rembrandt's J'accuse, which investigated about Rembrandt and his famous painting The nocturna.Pero round is a different film, with a thesis, a theory behind the painter, about his circumstances. It is rather an essay, really the only way possible ...

How to tell the truth?

I am much happier telling lies, lies of fiction. Through the lies of fiction can get much closer to human nature that only counting events, deeds, things ...

We are in a deadlock, then ...

We are in an alley with hundreds of outlets.

Explain.

is false dichotomy between fiction and documentary. Even I am surprised that there is still a festival like DocsBarcelona, \u200b\u200bdedicated only to the documentary. Would be called Festival period. The film never existed, or the Lumière times to catch the world to burn, to take note. Although the fictional works, as I said, is also dead ...

What remains?
Zine
I call it: a new way to tell in pictures that end with the dull narrative based on the film, almost pre-Christian, Freudian bookish structure has not been more than 125 years a prologue to what will now start .. .

What we do with many screens as we have?

screens anchor us to the past. We must get rid of them. We impoverish our imaginations limit. Every time someone opens a laptop opens up many more possibilities than you'll find in any film. The world of cinema is called interactivity and multimedia capabilities.

Where is the new film, then? Perhaps

museums. Before a young person wondering what I wanted to be, and I answered that director. Now do the same question and tell you
curator
