"The way we make films, the way we watch them, and the way in which we make the public aware of them is all being reinvented, " writes photographer and director Mike Figgis of the technological revolution inspired by digital cameras. Taking place outside the mainstream film world, this revolution has led to an explosion of astonishing creativity in both film and video. Figgis has been at the forefront of such experimentation, first in his groundbreaking film Timecode (1999) and now in his latest project, Hotel. In the Dark is a visual diary of the new film, which was shot in Venice over a period of five weeks using digital cameras. Forty actors and artists (among them David Schwimmer, Rhys Ifans, Salma Hayek, and Saffron Burrows) lived together in an old hotel and improvised a surrealist narrative incorporating The Duchess of Malfi, a Jacobean drama by John Webster. An erotic feast of digital imagery emerged in the process, and In the Dark not only documents the film itself but gives us a penetrating look at one of today's most innovative filmmakers.

Seller's Description:
Fine jacket. 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.
