One will be a sort of avant-garde doc or contemplation on Brenez and her current work on what she has termed Internationalist Cinema. Inspired by reading about this with Brenez's recent visit to NYC. It's not going to be a feature length of any means, just almost an explanatory, visually experimental video about these filmmakers, Brenez and Internationalist Cinema. I have vague ideas and images in my head, yet nothing as concrete as the next one.
Inspired after reading "Images of Images" chapter in Raúl Ruiz's Poetics of Cinema. Particularly the digression Ruiz gets into about an imagined utilitarian society that only allows one painting to be painted by all painters and the outcome of three very different painters there. The whole chapter is trying to prove how a copy can be just as interesting, original, different, artistic, etc than the real thing. I have a very specific idea about a segment of this film and it will be someone positioned among different monitors and cameras where at the same time you can see different angles of the same action on screen. More ideas but don't want to give away too much.
Hopefully I will get some time and be able to start working on these. Will be updating as things progress.
ps: two completely unrelated but incredible David Cronenberg posts through Criterion:
