Hi Magnus,
I should recommend you to watch Jean-Marie Straub and Daničlle Huillet's
films which most of them have been made in countries such as Italy, Germany
and Egypt. I think they will fit very well on what you're looking for "no
direct psychology involved".
Maybe Peter Watkins's films will also do (his five-hour film "La Commune" is
highly recommended).
Have a nice time in Shanghai.
Best regards,
Juan Antonio

Asunto: CHINA/SWEDEN?!
Hi!
I am a cultural studies student(in Sweden) and I am going to do my master
degree project in Shanghai. I am going to do some filming over there as a
part of my project.
Can anyone recommend any good litteture or filmmakers on making films in an
unknown landscape, culture and so on?. I think Werner Herzogs work is great
and also how Alan Clarke did his film Elephant and kind of removed the
narrative so to speak cause he felt he had an outsiders perspective and if
he would built his film around a certain plot or development within the film
he thought his own persective would affect it too much.
Showing it just "as it is" and no direct psychology involved makes the
viewer a big part of the film... Well, i dont know i guess alan clarkes
"elephant" is a good way of how to do films about things you are not
directly involved in.
someone has any thoughts?
