Lumière and Company - Spike Lee

Lumière et Compagnie

- 41 registi internazionali vengono coinvolti in una sfida molto particolare: realizzare un cortometraggio con le tecniche di lavoro che c'erano alla data dell'invenzione del cinematografo, nel 1895. Ecco cosa hanno realizzato potendo utilizzare solo tre sequenze, ciascuna al di sotto dei 52 secondi e girando il sonoro in presa diretta.

- Lumière and Company (1995, original title "Lumière et Cie") was a collaboration between 41 international film directors in which each made a short film using the original Cinématographe camera invented by the Lumière brothers.
Shorts were edited in-camera and abided by three rules:
1. A short may be no longer than 52 seconds
2. No synchronized sound
3. No more than three takes

- 41 réalisateurs ont tourné 52 secondes de leur choix sans son et en trois prises maximum avec la caméra originelle des frères Lumière.

If any of you numb nuts knew anything about the Lumière brothers then you would have realized that Spike was staying true to the "actualités" or actuality films that the brothers first showed on December 28, 1895, at Salon Indien du Grand Café in Paris.

couldnt agree more. the lumieres focused on family life and the supposed mundanities of life. although lynch's film is great too, just not like the lumiere

Absolutely. And I may be a "numb nuts" but ANYBODY could have made this home movie...where's the unique vision of a supposed great director?

[Punktowner]

Like the most boring YouTube video ever, but shot on a Lumiere camera. Unimaginative. See Lynch's film by comparison.
