Certainly there is no "real" in film: documentary or otherwise, only representation. However, documentaries (and then fake docs, piggy-backing) refer to this "real" using different codes and relying on different effects. I like Winterbottom. Do you have a link?

Admittedly, this is all very speculative.

But if one goes in search of the 'real' then I don't think doing so via AV is going to help find it, even if what we do find is going to stimulate much thought.

In terms of feature filmmaking, I wonder we cannot see this bleed between doc and fiction in Michael Winterbottom, some of whose films are docs of their own making.

As for the project: good luck.

Wonder if the hints of sarcasm might dissuade others participating.

I am intrigued about this idea of nothing being real if it is broadcast.

A lay person's understanding of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle would suggest that observation affects behaviour. Similarly, one might say that all acts are acts intended for an audience. And, after Schrodinger, one might say that all unobserved acts are do not necessarily count as real.

Action is authentic (auto-hentes - creation of self); passion/passivity/passing has no reality status, except death (passion).
