Filmtagebuch 2004
Synopsis
«My Filmdiaries, which I’ve been making since 1972, contain pictures of clouds, railway stations water, shadows, flowers, stairs, trees, rails and people; they are light, form and movement. The images, always 18 per second, are arranged as they were filmed and are captured on colour or black and white on super 8 film. The only sound is the noise of the projector and – depending on the spectators – a question, an exclamation, a cough, a laugh or fragments of conversation in the flickering darkness of the room.»

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
