CGiii Comment

The screen is a neutral element in the film-going experience. Or is it? It projects dreams but is also the receptacle of our dreams. It's the vehicle for delivering the image to an audience - but does it also watch the audience at the same time? Is it a complicitous membrane which audience members can penetrate and which interacts with the spectators, despite its seeming passivity? Maybe - to all of the above.
