Draft:New neorealism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Premise

Born somewhere between 2015 and 2025 in Shizuoka City, Japan. To define this new film genre are Kenneth Groger and Atanas Ibba Mantchorov, two independent film directors.

In Film, we have the Italian Neorealism:
This movement, which flourished in post-war Italy, is characterised by:

   * Stories about the poor and working class. 

   * On-location filming and the use of non-professional actors. 

   * A focus on the difficult economic and social conditions of the time. 

   * A documentary style and a sense of authenticity. 





 In Philosophy, we have New Realism: This philosophical perspective arose as a response to the influence of idealism and other philosophies that questioned the existence of objective reality. It argues that:

   * Science does not necessarily invalidate the notions of reality, truth, and objectivity.
   * The world exists independently of our minds and can be known through observation and reason.
   * It attempts to reconcile scientific advancements with the traditional understanding of reality. 

"New Neorealism" refers to a more recent aesthetic and approach in film that draws inspiration from Italian Neorealism but with a contemporary sensibility. It might involve:

   * A focus on social issues and everyday life in a modern context. 

   * A commitment to progressive social change. 

   * The use of non-professional actors and documentary-style cinematography. 

   * A blend of documentary and fiction, as seen in Neon-Neo Realism. 

The New Neorealism drew inspiration from Italian Neorealism, sharing some similarities but adopting a completely different approach and concept.

The main goal of the New-Neo (also known as New Neorealism) is to film ordinary people in ordinary life situations, with the purpose of establishing interaction by empowering everyone to chase their dreams.

By filming them and by interacting with them, people are reminded of their potential.

The New-Neo is encouraging people to use the mobile phone camera outside the box. Instead to use it in “passive” mode everybody can discover their pattern to be “active” by filming the daily happenings around them to esclude the “I” in front of the camera and share the “We” - making the collectivity and the community the protagonist and including the individual as part of it.

The New-Neo wants to relive the personal story as a collective story by sharing any individual story with other stories and mixing anyone's visions from one point of view to multiple ones.

The New-Neo transports individuals to an union of collective dimensions by killing the victimhood.

Vision

Filming reality without preparation, without a script and with no actors.

All characters are actors in front of their true identities and freedom.

Mission

The New-Neorealism is here to establish itself in the Present tense - now and here.

The New-Neorealism uses all media and tools available today to show the reality within multiple interpretations and visualisations.

The New-Neo doesn’t obey a genre classification such as documentary, fiction, drama or experimental movie.

The New-Neo is here to show, not to represent or to explain any reality, nor to judge or to comment.

Technics

The New-Neo uses minimalistic equipment production. It is a universal canvas, making the visual expression accessible to everyone everywhere.

The New-Neorealism does simple post-production with conventional and unconventional methods to accentuate some particular atmosphere and situation, or simply to highlight the sense of being there.

Definition

It is what it is.
