He has a unique ability to extract the poetry of the mundane, experimenting as much as he can within the realms of the moving-image. Not tied to traditional narrative structures, Bram\u2019s obsessed with the inner-mechanics of filmmaking, taking film elements apart and seeing how they work &#8211; often breaking the \u2018rules\u2019 to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>But strangely it\u2019s the mechanics of big blockbusters he finds beauty in, citing Steven Spielberg and Tony Scott as heavy inspirations. But how does this influence a non-narrative filmmaker who\u2019s much more experimental with their films? Bram shares how he\u2019s led by the practical process of filmmaking in creating his films.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From the use of digital, analogue, phones &amp; video games to the scratching and experiments with film emulsions &#8211; Bram takes us down a rabbit-hole of a whole other realm of filmmaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can watch his tender film Here &amp; Elsewhere at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volkshotel.nl\/en\/agenda\/volkshotel\/short-movie-sunday-2023\/\">Volks Sunday Shorts<\/a> or visit his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bramruiter.nl\/\">website<\/a> to discover more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/nl\/podcast\/celebrating-cinema\/id1558165273\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#ffc8dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/nl\/podcast\/celebrating-cinema\/id1558165273 noopener\"><strong>Subscribe to our podcast<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Future Frames: A Conversation with Bram Ruiter\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/4bxscMIlWFLzSLijRmpTzh?si=f5e3908fdb054fe8&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Films mentioned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(click on the links for tickets to screenings at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lab111.nl\/\">LAB111<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1993)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1997)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jingle All The Way (Brian Levant, 1996)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requiem For A Dream (Darren Aronofsky, 2000)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Peter Jackson, 2001)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stan Brackage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comingled Containers (Stan Brakhage, 1996)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eye Myth (Stan Brakhage, 1967)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dante Quartet (Stan Brakhage, 1987)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remains to be Seen (Phil Solomon, 1989)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (Adam Mckay, 2004) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stepbrothers (Adam Mckay, 2007)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cosmopolis (David Cronenberg, 2012)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Miami Vice (Michael Mann, 2006)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resident Evil (Paul W.S.
