Ein Gespräch mit Frieze Projects-Kurator Neville Wakefield
Warum haben Sie sich für ihr Filmexperiment von Cormac McCarthys Roman The Road inspirieren lassen?
Abgesehen davon, dass dieses Buch auf tiefgründige und bewegende Weise eine post-apokalyptischen Zukunft schildert, ist es gleichzeitig sehr visuell und spielt auf viele Film-Genres an: Science Fiction, Filme über das Erwachsenwerden, Horror, Road Movies. Das macht ihn zu einem guten Ausgangspunkt für eher abstrakte Kurzfilme wie wir sie uns vorstellen. Zentraler Charakter des Romans ist die Landschaft und das schien uns eine passende Inspiration für Filmemacher zu sein, die mehr Wert auf die visuelle Sprache als auf die Erzählung legen.

YouTube, and on the Frieze Film website. The final result will be a film made in an entirely new way: the first multi-authored fractal film assembled from the sum of its submitted parts. Inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel The Road, Frieze Film will not have a conventional narrative: in addition to submitting original material visitors to YouTube will be able to download and refashion existent clips, spurring a chain-reaction of multiple narratives and occurrences: Road Movie will be wholly individual and collective. Frieze Film will be shown in Channel 4 ... during the week of Frieze Art Fair from Monday 13 October to Thursday 16 October at 7.55pm. Neville Wakefield, curator of Frieze Film comments, “If, as Francis Ford Coppola famously said of filming Apocalypse Now that, (traditional) film-making offers one of the last chances to be a dictator in a democracy, then it could be said that Frieze Film Road Movie offers one of the first opportunities to create a democratic form out of a dictatorship. Not knowing the outcome is precisely what makes this project so exciting.”
