THE FLAHERTY SEMINAR AT FLAHERTIANA

The Makes (18+)

USA, 2010, colour, 26 min.
Director: Eric Baudelaire
The structure is as follows: a group of black-and-white Japanese film stills opposite pages torn from a book, certain paragraphs of which are still legible. These texts are extracts from working notes published by Michelangelo Antonioni in “That Bowling Alley on the Tiber” and “Unfinished Business: Screenplays, Scenarios, and Ideas”. In them, Antonioni outlines scenarios, or “narrative embryos” as he describes them. A text restores motion to orphaned images (removed from their original narrative context), deliberately extracting the images from their context to fill the void left by Antonioni. It resembles a remake but in reality is a “make,” a hollow make as ultimately there is no film.
