Two Stories
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
“A film is the relation between two stories. The first one is the film’s plot: the succession of narrative facts more or less dramatic and literary. The second one is the film’s process: the experiences woven between the filmmaker and the people he films, or those with whom he films. Learning to watch film requires recognition of the signs of that other story, which is constituted by the experience rising from the work: more secret and more private, and always more tense and contradictory.”
– Gonzalo de Lucas, re: Pedro Costa
