Film Directors From New York City
A film also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, picture, photoplay or (slang) flick is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound and, more rarely, other sensory stimulations. The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to filmmaking and the film industry, and to the art form that is the result of it. Recording and transmission of film The moving images of a film are created by photographing actual scenes with a motion-picture camera, by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques, by means of CGI and computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques, and other visual effects. Before the introduction of digital production, series of still images were recorded on a strip of chemically sensitize ...

Anticipation Of The Night
''Anticipation of the Night'' is a 1958 American avant-garde film directed by Stan Brakhage. It was a breakthrough in the development of the lyrical style Brakhage used in his later films. Production Brakhage had been moving between New York and Los Angeles, living in poverty, before settling in Denver, Colorado in 1957. He had an idea for a feature film but needed time to plan it and a steady income with which to fund it. Brakhage began filming ''Anticipation of the Night'' that summer. He liked the intense images produced by hand-held shooting and practiced holding the camera with no film in it for an hour or two each day.
