My Film Project- 100 Films, 100 Countries
The main purpose of this project is to watch as many films from as many countries as possible. After doing some research, I found it was going to be harder than I thought to find films from about half of the countries of the world. So, I settled on trying to find one film from 100 of the 195 countries. It still may be difficult even to do this. I am focusing on the universal themes of the films, more than of our cultural differences. Additional rules (that I may regret later) include:
- Each movie needs to have been made within my lifetime (i.e. 1981 or later)
- My aim is to find films primarily produced in and by artists from said country according to IMDb information. There are a couple of discrepancies from IMDb when it comes to award winners (who am I to argue with the Oscars)
- All films have to be non-documentary, feature films.
4 )When available choose dramas (over action, horror, musical, etc.) - All films have to be ones I haven't seen before.
