W: One of the ways mobile technology is adapting is by getting closer to the film industry, and one of Hollywood’s best known names. Robert Redford. is joining the revolution. Today it’s really a great pleasure to have this movie star and filmmaker here to share something with us. Good evening, Robert.
M: Thank you for your introduction. You have mentioned mobile technology. Actually, what interests me is how new technology can interact with entertainment, which is art, and so that’s where my interest comes in, what new platforms can be created to increase opportunities for artists to tell their stories. And what sits at the bottom of it is, no matter what’s going on, no matter what the size of the screen is, or how short the film is, I just don’t believe that you can ever keep going forward without story. So, as long as you’re able to tell a story on this new platform, then I think it’s going to be successful. You have to have a good story. You have to tell a story with a beginning, middle and an end, and it has to have an emotional grabbing point, it has to satisfy you, and it has to entertain you. And that was just four panels. So if you can do it with a comic, you can do it with film. To me, it’s a discipline that can be put on the filmmaker that I think is pretty healthy. I love the idea. So, what I really like are new filmmakers. I mean at this film festival this year, which we just finished, there were a lot of exciting things about it. One of them was the film made by the means of crossing over disciplines, which has a lot to do with this new technology. The new technology is sponsoring new ways of seeing things and new ways of doing things. And so suddenly in our festival this year we had more new filmmakers than we’ve ever had since we started. Secondly we had filmmakers crossing over disciplines. We had Bono and U2 coming with their 3D experimental film for IMAX. You had poets, you had musicians, you had artists from different, other disciplines crossing over into film, and the work to be seen was really exciting.
