KM: Lo ngumbuzo onzima, kepha uma kukhona umuntu okwazi ukubona amafilimu amathathu eMidnight Madness kulo nyaka, yimaphi ama-movie okumele abonwe? 

I-PK: Ngingahle ngikubeke kanjena; kunamafilimu athile engicabanga ukuthi azodinga usizo olukhulu maqondana ne-hype. Angicabangi ukuthi kukhona odinga ukuthi ngikhulume ngokunye ngaphandle kwamagama uRichard Stanley, uNicolas Cage, no-HP Lovecraft futhi anginantshisekelo kuwo Faka umbala ngaphandle kwesikhala. Ngakho-ke ama-movie anjalo mhlawumbe awaludingi usizo.

Kunezihloko ezimbalwa enginomuzwa wokuthi ngingafuna ukusho, ngoba nje baningi abenzi bamafilimu okokuqala ngqa nezinhlangano ezingaziwa. Ifilimu eyodwa ithi I-Platform, isici saseSpain esivela kuGalder Gaztelu-Urrutia - umenzi wamafilimu okokuqala ngqa. Ngombuzo wakho phambilini mayelana nokuthi yini engijabulisayo, bengibuka ama-screeners futhi kwavela lokhu. Ngicabanga ukuthi kwakungemva kwamabili, ngakho-ke bengilindele ukubuka imizuzu yokuqala engama-20 bese ngiyayiqeda ekuseni, bese ngixhunywe yonke imizuzu engama-90. Ngangijabule kakhulu, ngoba ngangingazi ukuthi ibhayisikobho iyaphi. Kuyi-movie yasejele eqanjiwe yesayensi engaphansi kwezinhlangano zabakwaStuart Gordon's Fortress, noma ekaVincenzo Natali Cube, futhi ihlanganiswe kakhulu ngokomnotho.

Kungikhumbuza ukulandelana kwekamelo lasejele le-movie yaseJapan uphawu ihlangana Ukuhlasela. Ngoba kune-visceral, isenzo esesabekayo kwesinye isikhathi, kukhona ukubhuqa okukhazimula ngempela; yenza okuningi kakhulu ngezindlela ezincane kakhulu ngendlela yokudala ngemidlalo ekhanyayo impela. Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuzoba ngelinye lamagugu afihlekile ohlu lwabantu abazokhuluma ngalo.

Encwadini efanayo, ifilimu engikhuthaza kakhulu abantu ukuthi bayihlole Ubukhulu Basebusuku. Ngomunye umenzi wamafilimu okokuqala, wadlala I-Slamdance futhi kwangihlaba umxhwele lapho ukuthi ngangifuna ngempela ukuyinika ipulatifomu enkulu nesikrini esikhulu njenge-TIFF. Ngakho-ke ukuqhathanisa ebengikwenza kunjalo American Graffiti ihlangana Isimangaliso Mile ihlangana I-Pontypool; imidlalo iyakhazimula, ukwenziwa kwamafilimu kusendle ngempela, ngicabanga ukuthi kuzobakhuthaza kakhulu abenzi bamafilimu be-indie ukubona ukuthi yini ongayifeza ngomklamo wokukhiqiza onobuhlakani obukhulu.

Enye yezinto engizithandayo enkulukazi futhi Ipulatifomu kungukuthi bangama-movie wezinhlobo afakazela ngempela ukuthi isisekelo sikumbhalo; qiniseka ukuthi iskripthi sakho siqinile. Ngoba kunezikhathi ku- Ubukhulu Basebusuku lapho ngempela ikhamela ingena kumdlalo owodwa futhi ivumela lowo mlingisi ukuba axoxe nothile futhi kushubile futhi kushubile futhi kube nomkhathi, kepha nokho azikho izinto ezijwayelekile zohlobo ezinjengokuqhuma noma isenzo esikhulu. Kepha kungihlabe umxhwele ukusola okwenziwa yifilimu.

Futhi ngifuna ukuhlaba umkhosi USanta Maud kanjalo. Kade ngikufanisa Raw maqondana ne-movie ye-Midnight eshisa kancane. Ngicabanga ukuthi imidlalo emibili eqinisa ifilimu - ubudlelwano phakathi kukaMorfydd Clark noJennifer Ehle - imnandi impela. Kuyi-cringey enhle ngendlela yokuthi kwesinye isikhathi amafilimu aseMidnight angashisa kancane, lapho kungathi ukukugwaza endleleni ngenkathi kukufaka kulolu valo lwasemkhathini futhi kufana nokuqhuma ngomzuzwana omkhulu. Ngakho-ke lawo ngama-movie amathathu angahle angabi se-radar yabantu.

Kepha nakanjani ngizophonsa kulokho uma ufuna ukwethusa ikakhulukazi, I-Vigil ifilimu okufanele ibonwe. Ngokuyinhloko kungamaJuda I-Exorcist [ehleka]. Awawona amazwi ami lawo, lawo ngamazwi omngani wami ongumJuda okwenzeke ukuthi abone ifilimu futhi wayefana nokuthi, “manje sengiyazi ukuthi amaKhatholika azizwa kanjani uma ebuka I-Exorcist”. Bayayilandisa ngezinganekwane nakudemoni, njengokuthi, kukhulu kakhulu. Ngakho leyo yi-movie esabisayo. 

KM: Ingabe akhona amafilimu ojabule kakhulu ngawo akwezinye izinhlelo ku-TIFF?

I-PK: Angisakwazi ukulinda ukuze ngibuke Isibane futhi nezithameli. Ngicabanga ukuthi into abantu abangayilindela ukuthi kuyahlekisa impela. Mhlawumbe kungumqondo wami osontekile, ngoba bengikucabanga lokho Hereditary bekuhlekisa impela [ehleka]. Ngikuthandile The Witch kodwa NGIYATHANDA Isibane, ngakho-ke angisakwazi ukulinda ukuphinde ngikubone lokho.

Ngingancenga nabantu ukuthi bahlole Okuvumelanisiwe okunguJustin Benson no-Aaron Moorhead abebesesigabeni somculo eminyakeni eyishumi edlule manje nge Resolution futhi Spring - eyayise-TIFF - ne- Okungapheli. Futhi uma uthanda noma yimaphi kulawo ma-movie, kakhulu kulolo siko lwe-sci-fi yomqondo onjalo ongena ku-movie ngendlela yangempela futhi eyingqayizivele.

Futhi enye i-movie! Lokhu nakanjani ngeke kube se-radar yabantu ngakho-ke ngifuna ukukuphakamisa, kubizwa kanjalo UJallikattu. Kuyinto eyethusayo yaseNdiya… hhayi ifilimu ethusayo ngasese, kepha ibukeka ngendlela emangalisayo. Bengilokhu ngikubiza njengehlaya njengeNdiya emihlathini. Imayelana nenkunzi esindile ekuhlatshweni bese iqala ukonakalisa lo muzi waseNdiya. Ngenye yalawo ma-movie afana nesikhathi uSteven Soderbergh abuka ngaso Mad Max: Fury Road futhi ngangifana nokuthi “Angiqondi ukuthi abantu abafanga kanjani” [ehleka] leyo yindlela engiphendula ngayo kule movie. Ngivele ngashaywa umoya yisikali esikhulu somkhiqizo namandla nomfutho. 

KM: Ngiyafisa ukwazi, ucabanga ukuthi iyiphi ifilimu ebukelwe phansi kakhulu yonyaka odlule engena ngaphansi kwe-radar yawo wonke umuntu?

I-PK: Njalo ehlobo angiboni lutho, ngoba ngibheke nje uhlelo lwangonyaka olandelayo. Le akuyona ifilimu yohlobo - futhi ngizoza nefilimu yohlobo ngomzuzwana - kepha ngicabanga ukuthi ekaPatrick Wang A Isinkwa Factory Ingxenye I no Part II yibhayisikobho enhle kakhulu yaseMelika okungenzeka ukuthi yenziwe eminyakeni eyishumi eyedlule, ngicabanga ukuthi kungumsebenzi omkhulu. Ngiyayibiza Twin Peaks ngezingxenye zabantu nje futhi akukho nobumnyama. Kepha ake ngicabange ngokuthile okungenza kube nengqondo enkulu ukuncoma ku-iHorror [ehleka]. Ngisho ukuthi useMkhosini, kodwa silwanyana nguBong Joon Ho ukwenzile futhi, muhle impela.

Okuthile ebengingakubheka njengokwethembeka ukuhlela ku-Midnight Madness ngokuphelele yiHarmony Korine Ibhishi Bum. Wonke umuntu ujabulile nge- joker ifilimu, ngijabule ukuyibona nami, kepha sesivele sinayo i-movie yethu yeJoker, futhi kunjalo Ibhishi Bum. Le movie ngokuyisisekelo ihlose umhlaba lapho uBatman engekho khona, futhi uma uBatman engekho, iJoker ibizovele ibe ngumuntu othokozisayo, onomusa, owenza izinto ayefuna ukuzenza futhi ashise imali. Kungaba ukubanda okukhulu. Ngempela, ngicabanga ukuthi leyo movie yayilele ngokuphelele. Ngiyazi ukuthi akusilo uhlobo oluhlanzekile, kepha kunesiyaluyalu [kuyahleka]. Impela kunesiyaluyalu, futhi kusezithamelini ukuthi zinqume ukuthi lokho kuhle, akunacala, noma kubi, kepha nakanjani kuyabheda.

KM: Iyiphi ingxenye oyithandayo yomsebenzi? Ngiyazi ukuthi lowo ngumbuzo obanzi kakhulu, kepha yini ekujabulisa kakhulu ngokwenza lokho okufanele ukwenze? 

I-PK: Ngicabanga ukuthi ingxenye engiyithandayo - kunezici engizithandayo kuzo zonke izigaba zenqubo - kepha ingxenye engiyithandayo ukubuka ifilimu nezethameli. Kuyinto lapho ngizizwa nginelungelo elikhulu njengohlelo; bambalwa kakhulu abahlelo abukela i-movie abayikhethile nezithameli. Nginenhlanhla yokuthi ngoba amafilimu aphakathi kwamabili, akukho okunye okwenzekayo. Lokho ukuphela kosuku lwawo wonke umuntu, futhi empeleni, lapho i-movie iphela, ukuphela kosuku lwami. Ngakho-ke ngikhona nje futhi ngihlala nezethameli ngiphumule, futhi ngihlale ngizithanda kakhulu lezo zilaleli.

Ukusabela okukuMidnight Madness kungukusabela kwezithameli okwangenza ngakujabulela ukungena ezinhlelweni zomkhosi wamafilimu ngingaqala ngazo. Ikakhulukazi uma kuyifilimu engiyithandayo uqobo lwami, kepha angikaze ngidlale into efana naleyo eMidnight Madness phambilini, futhi angiqiniseki ukuthi izosebenza kanjani. Abenzi bamafilimu bavame ukwesaba kakhulu, kepha nami nginovalo. Ngizizwa ngijabule lapho okuthile kusebenza kahle nezithameli nokuthi lapho sonke siba ngumoya owodwa ekubukeni ubuhlanya. 

KM: Leyo yinto engiyithanda ngokuphelele mayelana nesipiliyoni seMidnight Madness ukuthi unawo ngempela umqondo womphakathi, ukuthi wonke umuntu ulapho ukuze azijabulise futhi asekele ifilimu. Akufani nezinye izithameli lapho uya enkundleni yemidlalo yama-movie.

I-PK: Ngicabanga ukuthi kubantu abaningi, nami uqobo, kufanele ukuya ekuhlolweni phakathi kwamabili ukuze nje ngithole isipiliyoni esingajwayelekile sokuya emcimbini lapho wonke umuntu ufuna ukuba lapho. Uma uya ku-multiplex, ukubona ama-movie akusona isinqumo ngaso sonke isikhathi esenziwa ngabantu ngoba bafuna ukubona i-movie, imvamisa kuyisinqumo esenziwe ukuthanda, ukubulala isikhathi esithile. Asazi ukuthi yini enye okufanele siyenze namuhla [ehleka]. Ngakho-ke izinga lokuzibandakanya linciphe kakhulu.

I-Midnight Madness yithuba elingandile lapho ungaba khona egumbini labantu abangu-1200 futhi wonke umuntu ufuna ukuba lapho. Wonke umuntu ufuna ukuzijabulisa, futhi wonke umuntu uvulekele ngempela ukuba nesikhathi esimnandi. Ngempela ngesinye sezithameli ezivulelekile nezinomusa umenzi wamafilimu angathemba futhi nelungu lezethameli lingathemba ukuba kulo.
