I agree Rick, when I was at college I absorbed myself in artist
filmakers, who simply filmed stuff that was going on. Jonas Mekas,
Stan Brakhage, even Andy Warhol comes into this catagory, there was a
re-emergence of the form in the 80's using the more immediate and
cheaper video. Anyone that knows my own film work will know that 50%
of it is timelapse or just everyday filming. The beauty if it is that
it matures with age. Using old archival footage is great, but don't
forget that today's mundane and everyday actions can look cool too! In
years to come, or simply that where YOU live can seem alien and
strange to your displaced friends!
Film Stuff Today! Even(especially) if its just your view from the
window you are sitting at right now!!!
