Can the Internet be CINEMATIC?
The World Wide Web has been transforming global society ever since it was first introduced to the public in 1991. The invention of social media and smartphones not long after have accelerated this transformation. And yet mainstream film-makers seem strangely resistant to incorporating internet into the stories and aesthetics of their movies.
In this video essay, I try to tease out why that is, highlight the artists that are bucking this trend, and trace the evolution of Internet Cinema from webseries like Alantutorial and Petscop to mainstream films like Eighth Grade and Dìdi (弟弟).
Chapters:

2:06 Part 1: Le Cinématographe
7:38 Part 2: The Internet as Medium
12:22 Part 3: The Internet as Cinema
19:16 Part 4: Transcendance

In preparation for Diablo Cody's follow-up Lisa Frankenstein, I thought it was...

Alongside director Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata was one of the three co-founders of Studio Ghibli. While he's most famous for his 1988 classic Grave of the Fireflies, his other Ghibli films, including Only Yesterday, Pom Poko, and My Neighbors the Yamadas are all deserving of equal praise. This video essay is my love letter to Takahata his life and artistry and to hi...
