Lumière and Company

An interesting project where a group of directors, totaling 40, took on the challenge to shoot a short film using the original camera invented by the Lumière brothers. For directors with diverse styles, sometimes quite lengthy, the challenge was even greater because one of the rules was to limit themselves to a maximum of three shots and a total duration of 52 seconds. The entire film then becomes quite an interesting documentary about how even in modern times, it's possible to create something using what is now considered prehistoric technology. The creators took on the task with vigor and each brought something specific to it. However, the film itself would require a bit more clarity and a systematic approach. It’s interesting as an experiment, and that's about it. (18/03/2014)
