Goshogoaka
NEW DOCS
Goshogoaka is a structural film, one that will cause many to re-evaluate the definition of “documentary.” Consisting entirely of six ten-minute takes of a gymnasium and the Goshogoaka Junior High School basketball team, the fixed camera construction denies all possibility of conventional narrative space. Instead, it’s all establishing shot. The rigid minimalism yields astonishing rewards to the patient viewer.
