TC #64 - Brandon Colvin (Hail Mary)
What exactly is acting, and how can we pull apart its elements for our analysis? Madison-based cinephile Brandon Colvin has been trying to figure that out, whether through his academic sutidies, his programming, and most importantly, his own filmmaking. Colvin is the filmmaker behind two of the smallest but most unique films this side of American independent cinema, Frames and Sabbatical, and in this interview with Peter, discusses how he merged his own filmmaking interests with his academic interests, creating and exploring the relationship between directors and performers in the current landscape of today's films. Later, they dive into one of Jean-Luc Godard's most spiritual features, the aptly named Hail Mary, and talk through why this may be the most emotional film the French legend ever made. 0:00-2:20 Opening3:10-7:54 Establishing Shots - Hill of Freedom8:38-58:48 Deep Focus - Brandon Colvin59:55-1:02:32 Mubi Sponsorship1:03:41-1:21:42 Double Exposure - Hail Mary (Jean-Luc Godard)1:21:48-1:24:37 Close
