David Lynch Shoots A One Minute Film On the Original Lumière Brothers Camera














David Lynch's contribution to a 1995 project, 'Lumière and Companie,' in which 40 international directors (including Kiarostami, Rivette, Haneke, Wenders...) were asked to shoot a short film using the original Cinématographe camera invented by the Lumière brothers. Shorts were edited in-camera and abided by three rules:
1. A short may be no longer than 52 seconds. 2.No synchronized sound. 3.No more than three takes.
The short itself can be consumed by clicking on the image above; a slightly longer video with soundbytes from Lynch on the project can be found, here. On a different note, Lynch speaking on 'Consciousness, Creativity and the Brain' can be found here, (1hr 49mins) in a lecture given at UC Berkley, which you can even download to watch on an iPod to enlighten a journey on public transport.
