Great video! I’m going to film school soon and I can definitely feel these changing tides. I’m excited to experiment with short form, I just hope there remains a place for serious, adult stories that aren’t memes/superheroes.

My jaw dropped when I saw that you had less than 200 subscribers. This is genuinely one of the best video essays I've seen in a long time, and it hit on lots of things I've personally been thinking about (transcendental filmmaking and short form content). You helped me understand transcendental filmmaking better and name things I've been feeling, and it is very clear that this was well researched with plenty thoughtful material to illustrate your points. I can tell your channel is going to do well, because this was an amazing essay, and I look forward to following you for more! You just got one more subscriber!

Thank you man, this means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Really enjoyed this. It's really thought provoking.

lovely video, especially the part on slow cinema, which is such an attractive formal mode/style to someone living now in the 2020s.

great video essay🤍

Great video!

Brilliant video mate! Very important for this metamodern age to fully Embrace social media storytelling. But I loooved the slow cinema section. Some movies there I haven’t seen! And I didn’t know that’s what Paul Shrader was all about. Have you watched The Curse yet??!! Omg. Greetings from Australia. Make more slow cinema videos!!

Thanks mate! I really appreciate your comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, particularly the slow cinema part - I was initially unsure about adding it! :) I haven't seen The Curse yet, but it definitely seems to be a non-conventional show that ventures into uncharted territories of cinema language. Cheers!

@@lofi.cinema it’s fully transcendental!! At times hard to watch - as is the point - but so worth dedicating the time to it. Just don’t anything about the finale before you watch.

Great

While not entirely a transcendental film, I really enjoy La Haine. Have you seen that movie? What are your thoughts

Yeah, La Haine isn't fully transcendental, but it shares some traits, like those moments where you're just with the characters as they hang around, doing little... It creates a sense of 'boredom' that actually engages you more, making it feel like you're spending time with friends. It's somewhat like 'Dazed and Confused' in that way :)

Fantastic essay and thesis on different forms of storytelling! I’m not entirely sure I think the piece lands on a coherence of it point on how these elements blend into the new medium… but in some ways that is the point, and I absolutely feel we are on the verge of a new medium being born that incorporates cinema with content. I think someone like a Megan Tan or the myriad of young content creators (mostly women exploding in popularity even though there are other genders developing this style) are starting to scratch the surface. Personally I think they are still blogging “cinematically” and this is still a precursor to what is to come. Anyway great videos and would be interested in hearing your take on the new way of cinematic bloggers.

You're spot on with your observation. I've started to unravel how these elements might come together in a new medium, yet the full extent of their integration into micro short-form storytelling remains an open question. It's precisely what I'm exploring in my work, such as with my little experimental movie "Silent Room," although, as you rightly noted, we're just beginning to scratch the surface. The trend of cinematic blogging is an interesting evolving medium and plan to dive into exploration of cinematic blogging in a future video. This all ties back to democratizing cinema. My next video will look at AI's impact on breathing new life into how we tell stories. Thanks for sparking this discussion!🙂

Thanks man this scene reminded me of a very similar scene from shoah

IMO popomo>metamodern. metamodern is a subset of popomo, but metamodern is too literal and assumes there is a way or place past postmodernism. I and many others disagree with that assumption.

I want to get lost in a world and story, and you simply aren't lost in a story if you're going from story to story every couple minutes which is the biggest downside imo. I like short stuff sometimes, but tiktok makes me mad dude. Even if something is meaningful it's gonna be over so soon and ur gonna be watching someone drop cakes off a roof or some such nonsense

No, it can’t. Next.

Such an amazing range of films on display here man ! Really great stuff, just subscribed and sorry I missed your comment all that time ago 🫣❤️
