Truth (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #3 extract: Truth (2016)

Not very well made, and not extremely profound, this experimental short plays with the artifice of film in a digital realm, reducing a screen to mere pixels, exposing animation and computer generated imagery for what it really is: just information; 1s and 0s. The injection of reality into this with the shots of an early morning - all of which seem to be exposed or colour graded differently - reveals further artifice in regard to what digital cameras capture. In short, this short asks a question that has been asked since the birth of cinema: what is true on cinema screens? 

This is interesting, but doesn't say anything more or add much to that which someone such as Epstein was questioning in the 1910s and 20s with his term 'photogénie'.
