I'm a filmmaker who has been experimenting with the application of integral theory and practice for cinematic design, production, post-production, and exhibition...and I am wondering if there are any other filmmakers out there also doing explorations in this area???

Hey,

I just sent you a message at zaadz. Check you PMs. I am going to have to cancel my multiplex membership for a while so wont be able to use the forums here.

Peace, Tim

For the past several years, on the side, I have been investigating, considering and discussing what Film and Theatre (and Photography, (e)Commerce, and New Media, btw) look like through the Integral Lens, and how to grow them.

One thing I have come to understand is that any attempt I make at trying to make some sort of homogenous definition for an Integral Cinema, or Theatre, or what-have-you wis the wrong effort.

Integral is a Lens (quadrivia) through which to look at things.  So there is no "Integral Cinema;" rather one can look at Cinema from an Integral perspective, and things might open up for that person which might otherwise have remained unobserved. 

Essentially, the great virtue in discussing Cinema and Theatre from an Integral perspective lies  mush less in the abstraction, and much more in you particular insights and ideas.

I would love to hear your perspective on these subjects.

I'm also on Zaadz, btw, but will remain subscribed here as well!

Thank you for the connect and for sharing some of your insightful perceptions of viewing cinema through an integral lens. I definitely resonate with what you are saying from the cinematic viewer perspective…but I am wondering about an integral cinema from the creator perspective? According to your perceptions, do you think an integral film can be created? For example: if a filmmaker attempts to create a film from within integral consciousness and/or attempts to create a cinematic story from an integral perspective…would you consider this an integral film?
