Have you ever watched a desktop documentary before? if so, which one (and feel free to share a link in your post)? In the review of Lee’s desktop film, Transformers: The Pre-make, Steven Boone writes “Without voiceover narration, the barbed satire in Lee’s “voice” is all in the choice and timing of his juxtapositions, and a precise use of the desktop environment as frame. However scholarly its origins, this video is pure cinema.” (https://www.rogerebert.com/features/kevin-b-lees-transformers-the-premake). It’s an odd but also interesting assessment. Reflect upon your experience of watching Transformers: The Pre-make (Kevin Lee, 2015). Do you agree that Lee’s film is cinematic? If so, why? If not, why not?
