Talking Picture (The Structure of Film Viewing)
Talking Picture (The Structure of Film Viewing)
1981, English. Directed by Takahiko Iimura.
Consisting of four parts: Between the Frames; Seeing Nothing; The Privilege to See; I Am A Viewer / You Are A Viewer. The film demonstrates and discusses the structure of film viewing as an institution: playing/talking myself in the double role of the viewer and the maker at the same time sitting in front of an empty screen and a camera which shoots at my back. It is also a provocative essay on the role of film audience. (Takahiko Iimura)
