The Future of Cinema with Fabrizio Federico
I hope that Black Biscuit gets into peoples skins. It’s an
important film because this is rebel talent
unlike any other.
I feel like Im the best director in the world even though I
don’t know how to use a HD camera. Cinema’s attitude is basic so I’ve decided to liberate it and take it to the next level.
I cant be tied down to one ideal, my style is screen poetry stirred up with documentary, satire on
‘’real-acting’’, comedy, horror, and experimental fiction mixed with the
unknown.
It makes me laugh and
shrug when critics get it wrong; which is more than half the time, that is the
reason why I believe critics should stop writing about films and start making
them. Don’t be a critic become a
creator.
They should stop being lazy. All they do is sit around and
watch movies all day, I mean that isn’t going to get you laid. Put your so
called ‘’expertise’’ to good use, because they are missing out on the ultimate experience.
Art is the greatest purity because you're asking the viewer to choose their personal nirvana.
It’s one of the best highs I’ve ever felt, and I’ve relished lots of special experiences
such as love/sex, out running the cops, being on stage, instant togetherness and
the occasional out of body experience.
We have to stop creative prejudice in the arts, the other
big culprit of this crime other than the critics are the cinema owners. They
don’t take enough chances. If a film doesn’t look safe enough they will refuse
to promote the work, and eventually just bury it.
But now thanks to the internet we no longer need these
middlemen. They are going to become an extinct species, but for the moment all they have going for them is that artists
are a bit lazy when it comes to promoting and dealing with $$ figures. But that
is changing very dramatically ,we’re learning.
That goes for the high and low’s, and Im saying it because nobody else seems to
give a shit about hitting a creative edge and spreading the idea to future generations.
In the early 70’s for a short period of
time creative film directors were treated with respect and independence. Just
give us the fucking money and we will create an alternative experience for
audiences swim in.
That’s why I have so much respect for Dennis Hopper’s ‘’The
Last Movie’’ because that film treated the audience as equals, and his unhinged
genius scared the suits.
Im not at home, but that doesn’t make me and my generation
mad, we’re just mavericks.
The Weinsteins & October Films in the early 90’s created
cinema heaven for young directors. That’s when the money men in the film industry were at their bravest.
But I think they got scared when they
tip toed across, and looked over the
edge of their empire state building decision to make experimental cinema
mainstream.
A creative open minded tsunami wave takes time to settle, and
the greedy money men can never manage to
retain the balls to understand that they
should be promoting originality, and versatility to audiences. If you promote they will come.
People will learn and feel more from watching reality over
fiction.
The experimental
ideal that Im talking about reached it’s
pinnacle with the release of ‘’Kids’’ in 1995. That was a perfect moment.
Creative freedom mixed with the big money of advertising.
I don’t think it’s extreme. I have a young attitude so I
expect people to be artistically braver.
