In his new captivating video essay Virtual Horizon: Après le feu and the vanishing point of the real, filmmaker and MFJ contributor Vincent Warne traces the continuity from the Lumière Brothers’ Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (1896) to Jacques Perconte’s Après le feu (2010), and in the process specifies how each embodies their respective century’s approach to the real and the virtual on film.
