Remodernist film

Remodernist film developed in the United States and the United Kingdom in the late 1990s and early 21st century and is related to the British art movement Stuckism and its manifesto, Remodernism.

History

Remodernist film calls for a return to emotional and spiritual meaning in cinema, as well as an emphasis on narrative structure and subjectivity. Elements of French New Wave, No Wave Cinema and punk film, expressionist and transcendental filmmaking helped lead to this new film movement. They champion the works of Andrei Tarkovsky, Yasujiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, F.W. Murnau, Jean-Luc Godard, Wong Kar-wai, Jean Vigo, Amos Poe, Monte Hellman and Nicholas Ray among others.

The first Remodernist films and filmmakers included "Youngblood" (1995) by Harris Smith, "Shooting at the Moon" (1998-2003) by Jesse Richards and Nicholas Watson, and "Medway Bus Ride" (1999) by Wolf Howard .

Remodernist film began as a film movement when a collective of filmmakers and photographers called Remodernist Film and Photography was founded by Richards and Smith in 2004, although the idea of Stuckism in relation to filmmaking and photography had been active since 2001 when Richards and Nicholas Watson began releasing work as The New Haven Stuckists Film Group. On March 8, 2008 their film "Shooting at the Moon" made its London premiere at Horse Hospital during its FLIXATION Underground Cinema Club event.

After a break from production for a few years, Remodernist film recently began seeking funds for new films in August, 2008 [http://jesse-richards.blogspot.com/2008/08/seeking-funds-for-new-remodernist-film.html "Seeking Funds For New Remodernist Film", When The Trees Were Still Real, August 19, 2008] Retrieved August 20, 2008] .
