(Mr. Ori Sindel's Articles)


Once upon a time they said, "If you give a million monkeys typewriters, one of them will write something on the level of Shakespeare'—and the Internet has proven it wrong, ha ha ha," said every computer guy of the nineties.

For many years, the creation of cinema and the ability to distribute it to the public were a minority's privilege. And here, in the last decade, a revolution has taken place, and every person has the technological and communication possibilities to produce and distribute a film or at least a video.

Now that the entire western world uses social media, humanity is also watching, and not just a marginal minority. It's quite cute to see how everyone plays with the camera like monkeys in the jungle who have discovered something new.

I like the idea that, in the future, anyone will be able to take a motion picture, not just the film industry, if it even survives such a revolution.



And maybe even the Shakespeare of today will finally appear. The cinema is kind of like a church in its structure (the stage and the screen, the benches and the seats). Another similarity between Hollywood and the church is that Hollywood, until recently, had a monopoly on the storytelling of the human myth.

The disintegration of the Hollywood film industry, following the development of independent anarcho-cinema, first in cyberspace, is not a bad thing.

In the past, all that was needed to tell a myth was imagination and a mouth. Just like in Jim Henson's "The Storyteller" series, there were storytellers orally telling their myths to the audience.

Instead of integrating into corrupt industries, anarcho-filmmakers should strive to create an alternative. In addition, anarcho-cinema mass events will be held to bring virtual followers into the physical world. And not in those outdated and corrupt cinema churches.


I am guessing that in the coming years, short online clips with the quality of cinemas will also begin to appear. That may kill the ferocious lion of MGM, which represents Hollywood and the entertainment industries. And the bees will turn the lion into a hive.


The film industry will probably embark on a hopeless war: on the one hand, the industry will preach senseless condescension against anarcho cinema, and on the other, Hollywood stars will try to integrate as web influencers. The death of the lion of cinema will not be a bad thing. Not only one industry has the right to tell the story of humanity.
