Masterclass Angela Schanelec - Film Frames: Composition, Rythm and Perception

Schanelec’s cinema reveals precision and force. A scene lasts just the right amount of time and the events therein follow their own rhythm. One of the mysteries of cinema lies in understanding when one shot should be replaced by another. How can we know? What do we desire? What do we seek in duration? All these elements are underpinned by poetry, which the German filmmaker crafted for almost three decades. One of the greatest filmmakers of our time is ready to talk about her work.
