In/Out, Audiovisual Experimentation on the Margins of the Industry: The Case of #Littlesecretfilm.
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the economic and socio- cultural context of Spanish “low cost cinema”—film production outside the industry. Beyond the realm of aesthetics, the experimental character of these digital productions lies in their ability to adapt to a sector, the audiovisual industry, in a deep crisis vis-a-vis the ways of viewing and consuming cinema that the new technologies allow. This article reflects on the experience of workers in the creative economy—young independent filmmakers who are making use of new technologies as means to access the mainstream cultural industries. It further explores the problems and ambiguities of such processes, which seem open and democratic but somehow retain patterns of exclusion that seemed superseded.Downloads
