207 pages. A noted filmmaker's commentary on digital work illustrated with color photographs and stills. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.

There is a technogical revolution which is taking place: the digital camera phenomemon. It could radically change the film industry; certainly, it has already shaken its foundations. Inevitably, the film industry and forces of commerce will re-organize themselves to regain control, but in the meantime there is a period of creative anarchy that director Mike Figgis is exploring and exploiting. His film was shot in Venice over five weeks using digital cameras, cheap and available on most high streets. Forty actors and artists of one kind and another lived together in the Hungarian Palace Hotel and improvised a surrealist drama that incorporated The Duchess of Malfi, a Jacobean tragedy by John Webster, into the story of a Dogme film crew in which the director is assassinated by the producer. An erotic feast of digital imagery emerged and this is the result.
