A Life Through A Lens with Director Alfred George Bailey

Besides being a form of entertainment for people, cinema, in its various meanings, is also pure art. Each film is part of the history of the period and of the society that produced it, becoming the cultural and historical heritage of the collective imagination.
To philosophically understand a film,one must look at it as a "visual concept in motion".
Cinema is about the whole of the arts and Techniques.
But what are the techniques of writing a film story?
How do we manage to tell a story on the screen?
Join our last episode with Wellness and Wonder interviewing Alfred George Bailey, a filmmaker and photographer.
He has a documentarian's eye and he is fascinated with the human condition, exploring and capturing its many facets to tell a deeply compelling story. Alfred's cinematic eye is rooted in, and influenced by art, music, photography, and classic European cinema aesthetic. His's unique body of work has a visual timelessness and humanising sensibility, which speaks to the very heart of us all.
During this podcast with him, there is an opportunity to reflect on the role of today's screenwriter and video maker, compared to the sixties and seventies, and on the stylistic choices made by a director to be able to guide the viewer to the vision of a film.
The role of cinema is as a communication "agent", with the characteristic of disseminating memories and narratives of all times to a wide audience of spectators; but not only as a film is created by a team managed by sensitive and empathic. Cinematographic directors who reflect their emotions and their visions in a product that is made after a lot of passion and diligence.
The big-screen…It is a source of pleasure to look at the images because those who contemplate the images learn and think about each point, following their own perceptions, because cinema is an expression, which combines two different practices, one of images, the other of thought and a film does not have a unique definition and can be understood in very different ways.
lots of love
