Christoffer Boe
A lot has been said about the digital revolution and the changing filmic landscape following the diffusion of small DV cameras. But is this a bloodless revolution? Sure, the crews have become smaller, the shoots often longer and we have moved out of the studios and into the streets of reality. But wasn’t this the departure point of Godard and his friends in the happy days of the 1960s? True innovation is not to be found in the scaling down of film crews – innovation is that we no longer need them at all. We can create films where the actor simultaneously becomes the entire technical crew. Film boiled down to its quintessential core: a camera, a man and his world. This is the departure point of Offscreen – a filmic idea that demands as little as possible of its director.
