>Here is something I’ve been thinking about lately: films/videos that show the action of someone painting. For my project, I’m not really interested in docs about painters discussing their work and their philosophies, but rather films or documentation of artists in the act of putting “paint” to “canvas”, no matter how unconventional or abstract. Some mixture of discussion and activity is fine, but the emphasis should be on the action.
