Three-Minute-Quickie
What’s that smell?
Generally speaking, smoke is a gaseous combustion residue that can be created from many materials. It’s not all about cigarettes at this year’s competition: there are volcanoes, burning cars and a side note on native American smoke text messages. However the good old fag (in the British sense of the word) still seems to be dominating the general interest. Surprisingly, there were more submissions than there had been for the subject Football in 2006 but fewer than there had been for Home in 2007.
This order of priority makes us wonder but doesn’t discourage us. After all, last year there had been many complaints because of the length of the programme. This time we have kept it down to 29 films. As always with the three minute quickie, the entertaining will be next to the serious, experimental, obscene and incorrect.
Apart from elaborate discussion on the international comparison of the smoking ban (Scotland/Hamburg) and meditative to brutal films on the aesthetics of smoke in and of itself, there is even the odd joke about bimbos and several takes on the connection between smoke and porn. When there’s no fire, there isn’t any smoke either.
Incidentally we weren’t intending to make a lopsided propaganda programme for smoking. We would have added any serious anti-smoking film as well – however, there weren’t any. It was all smoke and mirrors, in a way.
After all, prohibition as such is pretty unsexy. And even though some of this programme’s reviewers had given up on smoking (not because of the ban though): It still looks pretty damn good.
So, once again, we wish you all a lot of fun. And thank you for smoking.
