BIRDMAN: OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE) d. Alejandro G. Iñárritu, 2014 (22 MAR 20:55) / Part of ONE & DONE at Genesis Cinema.
“Inspired by your love for BOILING POINT, we’re showing some of our favourite (real and appearing as) one-take films. This technique adopts or gives an impression of continuity, of one long take with one camera, never breaking from filming. The filmmakers we chose to feature in this season approached it in various, playful ways, which we want you to experience on the big screen! In BIRDMAN, a washed-up superhero actor attempts to revive his fading career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway production.” (Genesis Cinema)
