On the paradox of uniqueness
“if you think about it, being unique should not be that difficult. There are 6 billion people on this planet and yet we all look different. But we usually still try to be or seem like everybody else. It is the same with film. And there is always a battle between the collectiveness of language and a personal point of view. On one hand, I want it so that my film could have not been done by anybody but Herr Boe & Co. On the other hand, I need a context that can make it live outside just my own worldview. The question is always how to make a personal language collective, or how to make this collective language personalized. It has to be unique but it also has to make sense. You want to find a private language but let people know enough of this language to extract meaning from it.”
(Christoffer Boe–acclaimed Danish film director–gave a fabulous Tóxico Workshop in February 2008.)
