Screening of \u958b\u9ad8\u5065\u306e \u30e2\u30f3\u30b4\u30eb\u5927\u7d00\u884c<\/b>, proposed by Ander Amuriza<\/b>, followed by a discussion.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to provide a synopsis of the film here, as I want it to be something found, without any instruction manual. My initial reason for screening this film was because when it\u2019s shown, it allows life itself to come in, not a representation of life. Life as what appears, dismantling what is constructed.<\/p>\n
When thinking about screening the film, the first problem I came up against was how it would be received, whether people would want to hang in there, because if we take it to be a film, it can be hard to keep paying attention. The solution to this problem is what I find interesting about what this session proposes.<\/p>\n
What keeps coming to mind is the simile of fishing as a strategy. Fishing is a way of being with what\u2019s in front of you, the river. I\u2019m proposing this film as an hour and a half of going fishing.<\/p>\n
With a conventional film with a storyline that develops\u2026 you can\u2019t go fishing, you have to pay all your attention to what\u2019s happening in the film. Normally you enjoy a film when you \u201cimmerse\u201d yourself in the plot. You forget that you\u2019re there in front of the screen.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why I\u2019m proposing the opposite. What I\u2019m providing is an opportunity to watch a film by coexisting with it, like the river when we\u2019re fishing, which is there making a noise, but it\u2019s part of the situation and not something to \u201cimmerse\u201d oneself in. Accepting that it\u2019s an element that shapes the space, like people or furniture. I\u2019m displaying a river whose only promise is to keep changing. Since the change is steady, it won\u2019t hold our attention all of the time.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s soundtrack is also changeable, but recognizable in its change, like grey noise. The advantage of the language on the soundtrack \u2013 Japanese \u2013 is that since it has no recognizable meaning for us, it\u2019ll become the noise of our river, like the sound of the wind and the wolves.<\/p>\n
If you have never gone fishing, you should know that in order to fish in a river, you don\u2019t need to give it your full attention; it\u2019s enough to keep one eye on the river while relaxing on your seat. Nor is there any promise that a fish will bite. Put briefly, it depends on the fishing rod, the river and luck.<\/p>\n
So, good luck then!<\/p>\n
