Inside Cinema explores cinema through the multiple materials and documents used to imagine, experiment with, search for, paint, organize, and compose a film: from the first notes and ideas to editing, including writing, research, locations, visual references, working with actors, organizing the shoot, sound design… These materials allow us to share the filmmakers’ work; the studies of shots and sequences, faces and voices, colors, lights, and spaces; the dialogues between the various professionals involved…
Materials are presented from films of very diverse eras, origins, and creators: reference films for many generations of filmmakers and viewers, as well as contemporary films.
The documents open new perspectives for those who want to deepen their understanding of a film they love, for those questioning certain aspects of the filmmaking process, for filmmakers themselves, and for those learning how to make films.
