Ecriture du Hasard et Approche Documentaire – Workshop by C Barani

Writing of the Random and Documentary Approaches given by Christian Barani, video director.

“We work on the notion of experience and drifting (psycho-geography…); how to construct with chance, to construct a film without prior (knowledge), without a scenario; no longer thinking about the film inside its studio, but simply living things; to land up in front of the given and how to capture it without being concerned about after, just living the moment. Simply make a film by filming. But faced with recovering this great freedom, it is necessary to give oneself some rules to play by and to put in place a form. The form results from experience and is no longer researched beforehand. Never shoot the same sequence twice, in order to lead us to become aware of the importance of images, of the importance of representing the other. How the use of improvisation puts us face to face with our responsibilities. Rethink this academic/administrative connection between fiction and documentary. Think differently, in a more collective way about the creation process: no more every man for himself. Do something together.”
