The film “Untitled”
by Dániel Szöllösi displays three
ipods showing old film clips. In the end the middle ipod captures the
film-maker himself capturing the video.
I have used the RAIDS format
below to critically read and respond to the video.
The audience is film makers
across the world and more specifically the film community that is involved with
the Celluloid Remix competition. The purpose of the films for this competition
was to use old clips and to remix them into something modern.
The success of the film’s rhetoric
is the focus of modern film meeting the classic videos used in the modern film.
The modern spin on the old vides creates a new perspective for all films and
the use of technology. The ideas created in one’s mind while watching show just
how thought provoking a remix such as this one can be.
“Both professionals and amateurs were presented with
the challenge of creating new short films by remixing their own soundtrack with
this extraordinary footage. It is unique digital film material from the early
days of Dutch cinema, the era of the silent film" (Celluloid Remix)
