The two teams team

A short film about the differences and similarities in video-art and cinema. Two actors are chatting in a film set, on a break, in the middle of props and cables. The conversation is about film sets in film and video-art projects, they are pointing out the differences of both ways of filming. They talk about budget, emotions and about the different approaches to fiction and reality that cinema and video-art have. Along the conversation the camera is getting closer and the quality of the image becomes more cinematographic. What at the beginning was a casual video in a break of a shooting is now a proper film of two characters talking. The reality becomes seamlessly fiction until the microphone irrupts on the frame and someone shouts: cut!
