Art of the Cinematographer

When Bresson published his book, Notes on the Cinematographer, he set in simple terms new cinematic codes that attempted to extricate cinema from its theatrical prison and create a new paradigm for cinematic writing that saw not a technology that used theatrical concepts to reproduce cinematic texts but a unique form that can create like no other artistic form. Indelibly, Hollywood and the present commercial state of cinema has so clouded such concepts that it seems almost a futile attempt to envision his possibilities. Yet, as a Quixotic venture, I am starting this blog to engage in such a discussion that will not only bring people of similar mind but those interested in pursuing a discussion that will bear fruitful conversations as well as aide us in understanding the possibilities of this medium. I look forward to read and engage with all who wish to contribute.
