Eugene Kotlyarenko and Barton Cortright take us on a wild cinematic ride in their discussion about 'The Code’, a film that defies conventional storytelling and embraces the chaos of modern filmmaking. With a whopping 70 recording devices in play, the film transforms the act of observation itself into a central theme. Eugene's insistence on each camera serving a narrative purpose creates a rich tapestry of perspectives, challenging viewers to consider their roles as witnesses in a world dominated by digital surveillance.As we peel back the layers, we explore the film's unique commentary on our surveillance culture, where characters oscillate between paranoia and acceptance. Bart shares insights into the technical challenges of capturing such a vast array of footage while maintaining image quality that serves the story. And we also dive into how 'The Code' integrates themes of longing and memory as a response to the pandemic.(Photo credit: Francesca Palombo)
