Arts+Culture / Cult VaultCult Vault #38: Michal Marcza on Camera BuffDirector Michal Marczak on why Krzysztof Kieslowski's 1979 drama is more relevant nowShareLink copied ✔️June 17, 2013Arts+CultureCult VaultText Carmen Gray Taken from the June 2013 issue of Dazed & Confused: Up-and-coming Warsaw-based filmmaker Michal Marczak caused a stir with recent documentary Fuck for Forest, which goes close-in and personal with a Berlin-based charity of environmentalist pornographers. He’s now developing a new doc about wannabe astronauts – out-there dreamers of a different sort. For Cult Vault, he selected Polish predecessor Krzysztof Kieslowski’s 1979 drama Camera Buff, about a factory-worker whose newfound obsession with amateur filmmaking takes over his life. “More and more voices have proclaimed that access to affordable cameras and editing equipment will empower a new group of filmmakers to tell intimate, personal stories that were difficult to express in the cumbersome analogue world. A handful of such films have surfaced, but audiences are mostly just swamped by quirky YouTube pet porn. Technology’s easy to master – the other bits are harder. That is why Camera Buff is maybe even more relevant now than it was on its release.” Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
