A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
