Eating the Screen
“The basic ingredient is the image. Let’s call it a diamond. An uncut diamond already gives off light, but improves when polished. Griffith cut facets into the diamond.

You fire it up in a kiln and ceramics emerge. The result is a new integrated element. The crisis in film is that so few have achieved this fusion. The only filmmaker who managed to do it was Vigo.”

(This will probably depend on how much time I have at first!) This will be a work in progress, so please bear with me.
