What it’s about. “Movies shot on high-sensitivity 8mm film have rough grain, and you can see this grain moving in like a haze on the screen. Oil paintings show the texture of oil paint, and watercolors show the texture of watercolor paint and paper. Movies show the texture of film, and the smaller the area of the film, the larger the grain seems, so its texture becomes more pronounced. The plane that takes off in the film gets smaller and smaller as it moves away, until it becomes smaller than the film grains themselves and is buried in the grains of the blue sky.” (Isao Kota)
