Experimental Film intrigues me the most.
The freedom in it, the open space for no judgment although a judgment in itself. Simply a place to allow your mind and thoughts to run free, with no structure or way of development, in this space, anything goes.
In Monday's lecture the idea of boredom was proposed in a new light. It was more of an AHA moment for me, when our guest speaker stated " When a film makes you bored, ask why? Why are you feeling bored? What is the purpose behind this emotion, for it is most likely purposeful, or not, But what is the point the director is trying to get across?" As silly as it may sound, I say AHA in that I honestly had never thought of emotions, or at least the ones we don't usually like to feel, as good. Emotions such as boredom, anger, sadness, angst, not typically felt in a "mainstream" narrative, for it leaves us feeling uncomfortable. And that is exactly the experiment.
That idea that notion, is pure brilliance to me. I love it and am inspired to push the limits in my own creative. There are no written rules of what is good or bad in this media we share a passion for. There is no right, no wrong.
