The direction of camera movement in a film is controlled by the director as the visual fulcrum that determines how the narrative is conveyed. As the director, he or she delivers his or her perspective and technical decisions to the cameraman-such as camera movements, juxtaposition, and point-of-view changes-to reflect his or her desire for reality and the film’s narrative through recording. This desire is at the core of the cinematic principle. The collection of films in this Candrawala program illustrates the dialectic between time and duration. ARKIPEL-Jakarta Documentary & Experimental Film Festival ‘Garden of Earthly Delights’ 2024 will read this desire to record as a form of sensory exploration and worldly reflection.
