I was thinking recently about where we might see a crossover between
music videos and films. There’s the obvious: some form of a narrative,
maybe an experimental/auteur edge and some music videos even directly
allude to films. But for the most part music videos stand as their own
‘genre’ of cinematic form. Then, not so long ago, a friend of mine sent
me a video that could have been pulled directly from the young mind of Wes Craven.
Or Satan. It wa...
Intro by Quendrith Johnson, Los Angeles Correspondent
Serbian filmmaker Darko Lungulov made his 2009 feature HERE & THERE based on personal experience as "a man with a van" in New York City.
