Reality is a nice thing. Film can do a remarkable trick sometimes and help us to discuss something about our world that we otherwise might find too difficult. Film can help us understand a situation that we might otherwise only witness superficially. Film represents reality like no other medium and as such can show us a fuller picture of places beyond our immediate experience. Film dates itself in the process of recording and again can not help but call attention to the here and now. A filmmaker concerned with things beyond just entertaining, recognizes this unique power of the medium, doesn’t give us an escape from reality, but a deeper understanding about it. In reacting to a film, sometimes it seems that the filmmaker actively sought to deny the world they live in; an ambitious work does just the opposite, and we the audience leave such a film with a greater awareness of our world.
