Arts+CultureCult 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 VaultTextCarmen 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.” Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREWhy did Satan start to possess girls on screen in the 70s?Learn the art of photo storytelling and zine making at Dazed+Labs8 essential skate videos from the 90s and beyond with Glue SkateboardsThe unashamedly queer, feminist, and intersectional play you need to seeParis artists are pissed off with this ‘gift’ from Jeff KoonsA Seat at the TableVinca Petersen: Future FantasySnarkitecture’s guide on how to collide art and architectureBanksy has unveiled a new anti-weapon artworkVincent Gallo: mad, bad, and dangerous to knowGet lost in these frank stories of love and lossPreview a new graphic novel about Frida Kahlo
