The Pictures Don't Move


This group is for films without big editing and camera movement. Everyone is invited to add films that fit these simple rules:

1. No camera movement (zoom, pan, ...)!
2. No editing (cut, time manipulation, ...)!
3. No performance (acting, dancing, ...)!
4. Original sound (no music, ...)!
5. At least 30sec long!

Make direct cinema! Capture the life as pure as it's possible. The reality is moving enough.

So, do we really want to see movies where nothing happens? Yes! That is life. And never "nothing" means "nothing"! There always something happens. We just have to learn to see it (again).

At the end the main idea of this group comes from the wish to create another point of cinematic view.
1. As an opposite to "Hollywood" with it's clear and (time)economic narration.
2. As an opposite to "YouTube" with it's fast and funny and spectacular and "wow, it's amazing!" clips.

Our films are motion pictures on a different way!

"The screen is a mask whose function is no less to hide reality than it is to reveal it. The significance of what the camera discloses is relative to what it leaves hidden." (André Bazin)
