- His last film was released on July 4 with Elijah Wood and Sasha Grey
- The director argues that the future of cinema is internet distribution
- 'The film is not going away, but will only keep the mainstream' regrets
Film director Nacho Vigalondo, whose new film 'Open Windows' runs entirely on a computer screen, said that "the future of cinema is Internet distribution" as is "common" in countries like the U.S., and wished that his films can be seen any day "in the original version, in any city in Spain, at the premiere."
So the director has stated in a press conference at the Sala Berlanga Rialto Theatre of Valencia, on the occasion of the presentation of the trailer for his latest film, which opens on July 4, as part of the Festival Valencia International Film Festival - Cinema Jove.
Vigalondo explained that 'Open Windows' starring Elijah Wood and the former porn star Sasha Grey, a thriller very "desemelenado", and therefore recommends that people "do not go to the movies with your mobile". "If you're looking at mobile, plus all the windows that are already open in the movie, if you also open more, I reckon you can lose an average of two revolutions per minute and can not understand anything," says the director, who believes that what the current generation is suffering from "an epidemic of attention deficit" you do not need to add to this movie that already has the "built".
Asked for his opinion about the new windows distribution network Vigalondo has suggested that the simultaneous release is something "common" in the United States and, indeed, the American public has been "rediscovered" with the indie film, which reminds that was in the 90s.
As indicated, this is because the public is "waterproof" consumer Internet payment, which believes that "has to happen here sooner, not that the film does not disappear because piracy does not endanger the movies endangers a more delicate than other cinema ", he explained, adding that," if we do not pay to consume movies online, cinema is not going away, what will happen is only going to keep the mainstream ". "What is disappearing is the middle classes in the production culture and that's what you need to protect," he ruled.
In this regard, he imagined that "if cinemas disappear, which cost more to explain to future generations will be the feeling of going to the movies, watch a comedy and the whole room laugh, something that can not be done at home however great your screen and have high quality sound system. "For the Spaniard director, "there genres that pale in domestic solitude" and they are "amplified" to be seen in theaters "by the collective experience" to "share the viewing with a lot of people that are also unknown" .
The film begins "within a movie," said the Vigalondo, as the protagonist is an actress who is in the promotion of his latest film. At this point, it has been advanced that he has made a cameo character from the film's director, whom he described as "a Spanish film director who is flirting with Hollywood and is an idiot." In addition, it has also revealed that along the film "is hidden around the casting of (another paper) 'Alien.'"
New technologies and fantasy
Vigalondo, who has revealed that is influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and Brian De Palma, said that the size of the film "ugly date" with new technology as the core, and has estimated that the language of hypertext and the simultaneity information is something "little film" so it is necessary to "caricature" to be "bearable" screen, which leads to the results "are always controversial because you are not portraying something, you're doing a fantasy."
The director explained that this film is "the rarest custom story," in which he proposed a film in which social networks and the Internet language had screen presence, in return for which he will asked that all uneventful movie on a computer.
Social networks were "disappearing" of the film as the script developed, because it was "to condemn the film to be outdated, because the film is slower than the technology and the premiere would have known something old", has apostilled. Therefore, states that the film is "a fantasy inspired by programs that know" in fact argues that it is "a complete fantasy, a device that can not proceed in this reality at all."
He has confessed that he likes video games, whose influence could "leak" in the film, as in the use of real-time resource, uncut, as a sequence to be shot "from point a to point z." It also exploits the resource split screen, when viewing multiple images at once, which also resembles the screen of a computer and its various windows.
'Last Scream' in Valencia
Finally, Vigalondo, who has stressed that Cinema Jove was the first festival in which she participated, hopes to continue coming "to the end". "I'm willing to be the last, perhaps over the years drag me like an elephant graveyard and my road rage paste it in Valencia," stressed the head.
