This book philosophically and creatively examines ways in which
independent filmmakers may explore, through practice, the discovery
and development of a personal voice in the making of their films.
Filmmaker and academic, Professor Erik Knudsen, uses a combination of
autoethnographic experience derived from his own filmmaking practice
and new insights gained from a series of ethnomediaological StoryLab
workshops with independent filmmakers in Malaysia, Ghana and Colombia
to drive this innovative examination. The book contextualises this
practice exploration within an eclectic psychological and
philosophical framework that ranges from Jungian psychological
theories of the collective unconscious to Sheldrakian scientific
theories of morphic resonance, from Christian mystical ideas about
creative motivation to structuralist theories that underpin our
linguistic understanding of story and narrative. Why should we create?
What is a creative act? This in-depth study tackles these questions by
examining the early ideation stages of cinematic expression and
ultimately seeks to understand the practical ways in which ideas are
shaped into stories and narratives.
