It could radically change the film industry- it has already shaken the foundations. The way we make films, the way we watch them and the way in which we make the public aware of them is all being re-invented. Inevitably the film industry and forces of commerce will re-organise themselves to regain control. But in the meantime there is a period of creative anarchy which director Mike Figgis is exploiting to the hilt.Hotel is a visual diary of a film made with new digital cameras, cheap and available on most high streets. The film was shot in Venice in a five week period in early 2001. Forty actors and artists of one kind and another lived together in the Hungaria Palace Hotel and improvised a surrealist drama which incorporated the Duchess of Malfi, a Jacobean tragedy by John Webster, into the story of a Dogme film crew in which the director is assassinated by the producer. An erotic feast of digital imagery emerged and this is the result. Hotel-Mike Figgis by Mike Figgis
