Tv Monitor: The Basketball Diaries (Redux Version)
American media compared the Columbine massacre to a dream sequence from the 1995 film The Basketball Diaries in which protagonist Leonardo DiCaprio wears a black trench coat while shooting his classmates and teacher with a pump action shotgun. The scene is shot in slow motion, with every kill telescoped out into a series of grotesque moments, as Carroll played by Leonardo DiCaprio is cheered on by his friends. This dream sequence is the scene cited in a number of school shooting cases as triggering violent actions in those who watched it.
In; The Basketball Diaries (The Redux Version) the disputed, 1 minute and 44 second long dream sequence is object for a temporal analysis of the editing and the films soundtrack is in the same logic structuraly analysed by composer Ignas Krunglevicius.
Still from the DOGME video art piece: Haiku - a case study (2006)
The video was made together with Ole Christian Ellestad under strict DOGME rules
based upon the limitations of early video art - no script, one video tape,
just a camera on a tripod at the artists studio - the rest is improvisation.
