does a art film need to have a narrative (Story)?
It does not need to have a story because it is not as complex as a movie in a cinema. In the cinema you got a beginning, middle, end. beginning it will tell you who is in the movie, middle you start to see what is happening, end a good ending something good happened like man is a hero. But in a art video you only get i meaning because it is trying to express what the artist is trying to put across to you.
People do not like to stay around to long in an art gallery because there are too many distractions around in an art gallery. But in an cinema you got to site down in one place for a long time. in an are gallery when you get the meaning there is no point to staying around anymore.
A film that does have a narrative: doll face video shows a good narrative. a doll face comes out of a box and looks at a TV and sees a image of a real life human with maycope on and trays to copy the image but falls badly. What i am tray to get at is that the doll is trying to he human and trying to express her inner human.
A film that does not have a narrative: The film Koyaanisqatsi trays to give you a narrative but does not deliver because the film is filled with lots of different images and it does not make sanes to any body who is watching the movie. It gives to mach detail about the world but has no voice or actors.
