I dont think film has enough troublemakers any more, but what is the definition of a
troublemaker ?
A person who interrupts or interferes with peace and quiet - someone who causes disorder and commotion - a rowdy or mischievous person - someone who deliberately stirs up trouble
But in my book, troublemakers also move things forward, and in the film world that can definitely be said about people like Lars Von Trier (who has been silenced by the police), Abel Ferrara,
Trantino, John Waters, Gaspar Noe.
But where are the new breed of L'Enfant terrible ?
Recently I was listening to BBC radio and they mentioned an incident that happened when they brought an independent filmmaker onto their morning show, and he pulled out a water pistol and started shooting the other guests on air.
The director was Fabrizio Federico, I looked him up and got in contact by email and asked him about his views. This is what he mailed back:
Hi
Lets see.......................................
For my next movie Im going to accuse the god-damn government of turning entertainment into the new religion. The computer is now our new God, it used to be the television.
I have kicked the Ideals of cinematography right in the balls because it has made cinema old.
Im the king of anti-pretension, anyone can do what I do if u have the guts.
Theres more meaning off the stage, all we gotta do is sweep away elitism, the same goes with standards :::: which are an old boring man.
I want film to b born out of a dug deal.
Black Biscuit is about people facing their contradictions. I dont want film to go sterile and scared of change.
Whats wrong with wanting to immortalize everybody, everyones got magic in them.
Do you want me to say it ? Money has killed us!!!!
My libertine Whitechapel heart screams: change, exploration, subconsciousness, polarity, and more bullets.
Cultural heritage curators are like child whores.
Why are things beautiful only if their polished ?
What do you think about the look of broken glass ?
England is going through a cultural cringe, and we need to be less polite to get what we want ===== Hello........Libya anyone.I've been reincarnated from (1966 - 69) and Im going to bring film into the future.
