A faith that can move mountains
Article Abstract:
Movie director Renny Harlin, 34, collects a fee of around $3 million a time and, although Finnish, does everything in an extremely American way. He concentrates on sucking the audience into a film rather than just letting them sit and watch it. He does this by moving the camera all the time, often creating a feeling of vertigo in the audience. Old films used much longer shots but nowadays audiences have changed and get bored with long views from the same location. He also likes to keep his films exciting all the way through and tries to have at least one highlight in every reel, that is around every ten minutes.

Granny meets Antonioni
Article Abstract:
The organisers of the Venice Film Festival encourage many ordinary people to attend, although the fact that there are few purpose-built cinemas causes some problems. People often have to queue for a very long time, and this can lead to hostile attitudes. Films which have been shown so far include Woody Allen's 'Mighty Aphrodite,' Michelangelo Antonioni's 'Beyond the Clouds' and Thaddeus O'Sullivan's 'Nothing Personal.'
