reltbraccoFilmmakers and -buffs of Nostr: <br><br>1. What do you think alien film could be like?<br><br>2. What are some different stylistic and technical turns the art could have taken historically that would have led to a different style and "lexicon" of film than we have today?<br><br>I haven't studied film formally, but my sense of how it developed as an art form is that unlike visual art and storytelling conventions, which developed slowly in countless different ways around the world, film was pretty global and developed conventions quickly. It also seems there has been a lot of experimentation, but that this stayed in the avant-garde fringes a lot of the time (my guess is because it wasn't very psychologically accessible).<br><br>I wonder how many of these conventions are really based on how we as human beings interpret the kind of information we get from film, and how many of them are the consequence of how quickly film as an art form spread around the world and how prolifically it was developed by only a few centers.<br><br><a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/film" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>film</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/movies" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>movies</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/art" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>art</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/artstr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>artstr</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/kinostr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>kinostr</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/asknostr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>asknostr</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/worldbuilding" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>worldbuilding</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/specfic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>specfic</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/scifi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>scifi</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/cognitivescience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>cognitivescience</a> <a class="mention hashtag" href="https://mostr.pub/tags/grownostr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span>grownostr</a>

Sally Strange<p>Fuck, I got a <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FF</span></a> shout-out from Bread and Circuses. Better do that intro I've been meaning to (re) do! Hello, new followers! :heart_pride:​</p><p>Who am I: a lady, a bitch, a woman, a human. Cisgender, queer, white. Living in New York, where I was born, but I have traveled. Doing my best to support my Darling Nonbinary Spouse in their challenges being one of very few Black people in our community. Currently working as a drafter of soil/water conservation infrastructure. Before that, I bounced around a lot. Did construction and childcare and food service and data entry and more. </p><p>What you can expect from me: PLENTY boosts. I see it, I like it, I boost. Regular posts about <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a>, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GreenBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenBuilding</span></a>, and related topics. Commentary about social justice. Some news, but more opinion, about USA and NYS politics. I tag these (USpol/NYpol), but don't CW them. Edit: almost forgot to mention: I'm an anarchist apparently (I had to look it up) and I hate capitalism. </p><p>Other, less weighty stuff I like to talk about: <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> of any genre. I'm developing the desire to become a DJ and collect vinyl, somebody stop me! <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crochet</span></a> and fiber arts. <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a>, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SpecFic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpecFic</span></a>. Not a skilled shitposter but I do appreciate the art form. </p><p>Fair warning: I like to argue. If you don't enjoy seeing someone go back and forth with mildly offensive bootlickers from time to time, I may not be your cup of tea. And don't worry about my mental health WRT arguments, to my brain a good argument is a lot like a good video game. </p><p>That's my <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>! Ask me anything.</p>
