Swimming through cold molasses: Lynch on (off) film
David Lynch reasserts himself as a DV star to the NYFF press conference, as reported by The Reeler: "Lynch responded to Richard Pena's inquiry if he ever saw himself returning to shooting film. "Never," he said, as devastatingly clear and emphatic as a severed limb. "For me, film is completely dead. We love film, and the quality is so beautiful, and the lure and all that's gone before it is so beautiful. But film gets dirty and film breaks and scratches and the color drifts. The equipment is very, very large and heavy. It's like swimming through cold molasses. Digital is the future and it's getting better everyday... I kind of fell in love with the digital look in early tests of digital-to-film... I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I really believe in the story, but as I said before, I really believe in a story that holds abstractions, or can slip this way and that."
