Howto

Élisabeth Caravella FR, 2014, 25', DCP

Howto is a video tutorial in which her creator teaches us how to make a 3D text. But quickly her undertaking gets complicated, the software goes out of control, she discovers that she is no more alone. "How to" is the key word used for Internet tutorials. Originally intended for computing, these explanatory screen captures are generally made by amateurs. Detecting the cinematographic potential of these screencasts, I wanted to make a new-generation fiction documentary filmed entirely from my computer screen. Like a mirror, the tutorial is filmed with the screen that shows it. Heterotopian and utopian, it is the image of a reality.
