The Film as an original art form....

So.. whether film is an original art form is stated in the article to only be in Documentary and experimental film, and although these two mediums of film do make a particular emphasis in keeping away of the whole narrative storyline of fictional characters, theya re still original, they are real, because pre-production, actors, crew, post productioin all had an influence into this piece of original film, they are all different and therefore original, those films should still hbe considered as an art form. Now... other than that little rant, I really appreciated what Richter has to say. The film industry is based on economic value, and that sucks cos most of the best up and coming artist cant afford to not get paid for their work, and the best creative new films are in what Richter calls the 'Art Form' Documentary and experimental films. The whole idea that there shouldnt be any cliches, and only the literal film form, is great, just to be able to see that simple how the camera captures and creates art is brilliant.

So yer Richter makes a great point, but to overshadow other genres of film is a bit silly!
