HE SAYS |
The main features of documentary today provide a useful starting-point for an attempt to map out the principal contours of the documentary terrain. Viewers approach documentary with different sets of expectations, and audiences apply different frames of reference when assessing the gains or pleasures to be derived from watching documentaries.
1 | ONE THING YOU WANT TO PASS TO STUDENTS
I want the students to learn the visible structure of film and the underlining invisible structure of the cinema.
2 | ONE THING YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM STUDENTS
I have learned pure mindedness, commitment, eagerness, giftedness and helpfulness.
3 | YOUR OWN MOST IMPORTANT TEACHER
London-based professor Raymond Durgnat. He gave me a lot of inspiration. He gave me also this idea that when you do something you are personally involved. Totally. Many others as well.
