Over de film
"This film is my ode to classic movies and especially to the cinema experience," tells director Lucas Camps. "For me the movie theater is a magical place, where you do not simply see a movie, but you have a full experience with a big projection screen, surround sound and most important of all: the other members of the audience. A film is given so much more meaning when experienced together."
"A movie theater is usually different from a normal theater, where on stage the actor’s performance can be influenced by the audience's reaction. Wall #4 plays with this fundamental difference but also shows the impact audience members have on each other. I’ve experienced before how the shared atmosphere in a movie theater can make or break a film. Wall #4 makes audiences reflect on their own role as spectators, makes them aware of where they are and what kind of an impact they have on this shared experience."
"When I wrote this film, I had never thought that it was going to be as urgent as it feels now, in a time when big cinema chains are struggling to survive. Corona has made the transition of distribution from the movie theaters to video-on-demand go quicker than ever before. The cinematic experience of seeing a movie on the big screen is in danger. And I want Wall #4 to be a reminder of the wonderful and magical place the movie theater is. The great shared experience of seeing movies the way they are meant to be must never be lost."
