Eduardo Williams: Redefining Filmmaking in Motion and Meaning

Про цей епізод

In a rich and provocative conversation, filmmaker Eduardo Williams discusses "The Human Surge 3," the would-be sequel to his 2016 work. This time, he shot it with 360-degree cameras, making for a singular cinematic experience. He describes the interplay between script and improvisation that forms the backbone of his process, as well as the inherently political nature of cinema and the significant influence of video games on his work. Reflecting on online interactions and the potential of virtual reality in filmmaking, Williams offers deeper insights into his intense and distinctive approach to "The Human Surge 3". Williams contrasts the grandiosity and strangeness of the title with the film's quotidian depiction of everyday life, emphasizing the looming presence of the apocalypse while spurning any obvious dramatic climax. This double perspective frustrates and subverts expectations and explodes the minutiae of the human condition into an elaborate spectrum of everyday situations.<p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p><p> </p><p>Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a></p><p>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a></p><p> </p><p>Host: Alexander Miller</p><p>Audio Producer: Jack Boswell</p><p>Video Producer: Claudia Campoli</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
