Burning from the Inside (2007)
This documentary is so refreshing.
This documentary is so refreshing.
It doesn't conform to the traditional boring standard of twenty minutes of footage of a street somewhere with an overwhelming commentary.
Most documentaries are dull because they are stretching the content to make it fit into a TV format.
This one doesn't. It is 90 minutes or 65 minutes (there are two versions of it) of non stop dialog.
It is not overwhelming.
There is a some text displayed in between and the voice of the narrator.
The documentary is clearly divided into chapters. For each of the chapters introduced by the narrator, there are a string of people interviewed.
They debate the content of the chapter.
It's an interactive book.
Digital Broadcast (2006)
Different, clever and very informative
It's unlike any other documentaries I have seen before.
It is a Warholesque piece playing on colors, sound and interactivity to illustrate what a Digital Broadcast is.
By mixing a display of single color and radio broadcasts the film is mocking the 'Digital' and 'High Definition' craze that the media and IT world is trying to sell us.
Apart from its unusual presentation that not many people will understand, as a documentary it is an in-depth portrait of a man -Paul Gambaccini- that epitomizes Pop culture.
It has never been done before.
I have read it somewhere that the documentary was initially done in 1999 and was intended for a CD-ROM project; well it does have a CD-ROM feel about it.
It's extremely clever.
