There is a technogical revolution which is taking place: the digital camera phenomemon. It could radically change the film industry; certainly, it has already shaken its foundations. Inevitably, the film industry and forces of commerce will re-organize themselves to regain control, but in the meantime there is a period of creative anarchy that director Mike Figgis is exploring and exploiting. His film was shot in Venice over five weeks using digital cameras, cheap and available on most high streets. Forty actors and artists of one kind and another lived together in the Hungarian Palace Hotel and improvised a surrealist drama that incorporated The Duchess of Malfi, a Jacobean tragedy by John Webster, into the story of a Dogme film crew in which the director is assassinated by the producer. An erotic feast of digital imagery emerged and this is the result.
Mike Figgis has been a photographer for the last 25 years and exhibited worldwide. His film-making career includes seven feature films, with Leaving Las Vegas earning Nicolas Cage an Oscar plus four more nominations, (including Best Director). Wesley Snipes won the Best Actor award at the Venice film festival for his work with Mike Figgis in One Night Stand. Other credits include Stormy Monday, Internal Affairs, The Browning Version and the groundbreaking Timecode. Mike Figgis has also compiled a collection of discussions with people involved in the film industry, including Tony Kaye, Mel Gibson, Michael de Luca and Brooke Shields; these were screened by Channel Four as "Hollywood Conversations".
