The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Alan Schoolcraft has 0 writing credits in the Nutevio catalogue.
The recognisable elements are rewatchability, visual style, originality. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same eye, re-tuned for different registers. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is staged.
Schoolcraft set terms other filmmakers now work against: the structures, the pacing and the refusal to explain. Awards bodies have often been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.
Catalogue work still being written up by our editors.
