What is the Cinema of Uncertainty? How many kinds of Amazement exist? Does Fear and Belief precede Amazement? What are the rights and duties of the Spectator? Is the Essay Film a manifesto against voyeurism? Should spectators be paid? What amazes the spectator of this day and age? “To be amazed is to interrogate, to question.”.
