The Camera's Gaze

About

What if the screen is watching you back?

The Camera’s Gaze is an experimental essay film that investigates the tension between immersion and self-reflection in cinema. Merging AI-generated interpretations of the filmmaker’s own essays—with visuals and soundscapes drawn from The Killer (David Fincher) and The Zone of Interest (Jonathan Glazer)—the film disrupts traditional authorship and narrative control through a collaborative process between human intention and algorithmic suggestion. Layered montage, altered sound, and shifting color reframe familiar material, encouraging viewers to question how images are constructed and consumed. Reflexive and participatory, the film invites an active gaze, turning the act of watching into an inquiry of perception.
