Bernd Lützeler is a German artist who divides his work between Berlin and Bombay. His trips to India have had a significant impact on his work, where his gaze on the aesthetics of popular Indian cinema has gained a prominent place. Lützeler’s fascination grew, according to himself, from having watched an Indian film on a VHS cassette without subtitles (it was "Chahat" by Shah Rukh Khan, so the legend goes): not understanding the dialogues highlighted "the narrative formula known as Masala Formula [which] prioritises the spectacular over the logical. (…) Love or family tragedies are interrupted by sequences of action, romantic songs or dances." Besides this tribute to Masala cinema, "Camera Threat" deals with the disappearance of celluloid, absorbed as in the rest of the world by the digital. This idea, aided by the filmmaker’s experience working in different analogue and digital formats, coupled with the concept of the film, conceived to be screened in a double projection (35 mm and digital) that blends with the screen. Lützeler is a member of LaborBerlin, a collective lab of analogue cinema managed by artists and filmmakers. (MD)
